When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge – 69dB of range to be exact – and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. Line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket, which has the great advantage of less noise when using the line input and also matching to a higher input impedance. Features16 mono channels2 dual stereo inputs with 4-band EQNeutrik mic XLRNeutrik 1/4 inch jacksChannel insertSuper wide gain ‘DuoPre’ mic line input4-band EQ with 2 swept mids and in/out switchIlluminated muteSound image panIlluminated PFL & peak warning indicatorALPS 100mm faders6 auxiliary sends (2 pre, 2 post, 2 pre/post)4 sub groups fed from each channelAll inputs with level control12 bar metersL, R and M main mix outputs2 matrix sections available; can send output to USBIndividual channel 48V phantom powerDirect output on every mono channelPeak and signal indication on every channelConfigurable USB stereo audio in/outMaster level controls on all outputsEasy to use layout – all connections and controls on top surface
