4. MIXER INPUT SECTION.
Each channel shall include 1 rotary Trim control; 1 Low
Cut filter (HPF), providing an
18dB per octave curve starting at 75Hz; 2 rotary Aux
Send controls, providing up to 15dB above unity gain; 3 rotary equalization (EQ) controls: +15dB @ 12kHz shelving, +12dB @ 2.5kHz
peaking and +15dB @
80kHz shelving; 1 rotary Pan control, 4dB attenuation panned center; 1 Mute/Alt
3–4 switch, to be used as a channel mute or to route the signal to the alternate stereo bus (Alt 3-4); 1 PFL (Pre-
Fader Listen solo) switch; and 1 rotary channel Gain control, providing up to 20dB above unity gain. Note: The stereo channels (5/6, 7/8,
9/10 and 11/12) shall not include the Trim or Low Cut controls.
5. MIXER OUTPUT SECTION.
The mixer shall have 1 rotary Main Mix control, providing up to 10dB above unity gain; 1 rotary Control
Room/Phones control, providing up to 10dB above unity gainl; 1 Source Matrix including 3 switches to deliver any combination of stereo signals to the
Control Room, Phones and
Meters, including Main Mix,
Alt 3-4 and Tape, which shall be replaced by any solo signals resulting from the engagement of any channel’s PFL switch; 1
Assign to Main Mix switch to deliver the Source Matrix signals to the Main Mix; 2 rotary Aux Return level controls, providing up to
20dB above unity gain; 1 rotary Aux Send 1 Master control, providing up to
10dB above unity gain; 1
Aux Send 1 global Pre/Post switch; 1 EFX to Monitor switch, allowing Aux Return
1 signals to be delivered to
Aux Send 1 via the Aux
Return 2 level control; and
1 blinking red Solo LED, to indicate a solo condition.
6. METERING. The mixer shall include 1 stereo
12-segment LED meter with points at –30, –20, –10, –7,
–4, –2, 0, +2, +4, +7, +10dB and Clip. The source signals for the meters shall be the same signals selected in the
Source Matrix, and a solo condition shall replace the
Source selection with the soloed channel(s). The meters shall be calibrated so that a 0dBu signal at the
Control Room output shall be indicated as 0dB on the meters,
±
1dB.
7. PHYSICAL CONFIGURA-
TION. The mixer shall be made of steel, painted dark gray with light gray graphics.
The mixer’s dimensions shall be 3.3" (84mm) in height, 11.8" (300mm) in width and 11.2" (284mm) in depth, as viewed horizontally. The mixer shall weigh 6 lbs, 8 oz (14.3 kg).
Optional rack-mount brackets shall allow the mixer to be mounted in a rack system, with either the chassis top or the control knobs’ tops to be flush with the rack rail.
8. SPECIFICATIONS. In addition to specifications already cited, the mixer shall meet or exceed the following specifications:
Frequency response: microphone input to any output, 20Hz to 60kHz,
+0dB/–1dB; Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): any input to any output,
+14dBu, less than 0.005%;
