Designed by the same team who created the world's best live sound consoles with a huge dynamic range >140dB
With an extremely high CMRR accommodates input levels up to +22dBu.
9-position rotary gain switch per input
A simple 5dB resolution 'stepped' rotary control to provide gain adjustment for both main outputs from 0dB to +40dB to easily match any signal level (mic or line)
Square one 8-channel dynamics processor with LED status indication. Provide eight complete channels of either compression or gating, with push button selection. LED status indication of operational mode on an individual channel basis, compressor section on each channel shall provide for adjustment of threshold, make-up gain, attack and release times and ratio, RMS or Vintage emulation (peak) response and push button selection of soft or hard knee mode on each channel, gate section on each channel shall provide for adjustment of threshold, attack, hold and release times and range. Each channel shall have a six-segment input level meter and ten-segment attenuation depth meter, which will show the gain reduction being applied in both compression and gating modes. Each channel shall have a sidechain band-pass filter with rotary control knob for frequency control and shall be enabled by push button switch.
Midas XL8-inspired mic preamps
Designed by the same team who created the world's best live sound consoles with a huge dynamic range >140dB
With an extremely high CMRR accommodates input levels up to +22dBu.
9-position rotary gain switch per input
A simple 5dB resolution 'stepped' rotary control to provide gain adjustment for both main outputs from 0dB to +40dB to easily match any signal level (mic or line)
30Hz Hi-pass filter with switch and status LED per input
Eliminates unwanted subsonic information, increases headroom in the mixing console inputs, amplifiers and loudspeakers
Inputs duplicated on front and rear panels
For convenient connection options, either internal to the patch rack, or directly into the front panel
Transformer-isolated gain-independent outputs
Located on the front panel for easy connection of recording devices and outside broadcast facilities
Transformers provide superior galvanic isolation; fixed-gain status prevents unexpected changes in level during performances
Front-panel and remote 48V switching with status LED per input
Phantom power activation can be switched remotely from the +48V supply on any mixing console connected to the electronically balanced outputs
Solo buss with integral headphone amp and level control
Allows the mic amp performance and level to be monitored directly from the front panel. Also an invaluable aid when fault-finding in line systems
1:16 media split function with front and rear panel status indication
Input 8 can be routed to ALL 16 rear-panel XLRs simultaneously via a single recessed switch on the rear panel
Ideal for press feeds and many other multiple-signal distribution applications
Separate ground lift switch with LED status indicators for each set of rear panel outputs
Eliminate hums, buzzes and other ground-related undesirable audio artefacts
Individual 4-Segment LED output metering for each input
3 colours, easy-to-see instant status indication (-15, 0, +12, +21dBu)
Roadworthy (2U) all-steel chassis
Designed to withstand the rigours of the road
Universal power supply
Auto voltage sensing, operates anywhere between 100-240V (±10%)
