1. GENERAL CONFIGURATION. The mixer shall accommo-
date 16 line and/or 16 microphone signals, channels 1–16;
and shall include 16 Send/Return channel Inserts; 8 chan-
nel Direct Outputs, channels 1–8; 4 stereo pairs of Aux
Return inputs; 1 stereo pair of Main Mix outputs; 1 Main
Mix Mono output, 1 stereo pair of Control Room outputs;
4 Submaster outputs; 6 Aux Send outputs; 1 stereo pair
of RCA-type phono Tape outputs; and 1 stereo Headphones
output. The mixer shall be capable of placement on a table
or installation in a standard 19-inch rack mount via rack
rail brackets (included); shall be fi tted with 1 rocker-type
Power switch; 1 3-pin power receptacle with user-replace-
able 5x20mm fuse drawer; 1 BNC socket, providing 12VDC
for fi tting an external lamp (not included); and shall be
entirely self-contained.
2. MIXER INPUTS.
CHANNELS 1–16: Each channel shall include an XDR™
(Extended Dynamic Range) electronically balanced micro-
phone input, using an XLR-3-F-type connector, accepting
nominal levels from –60dBu to +4dBu via a rotary Trim
control. Phantom power shall be globally-controlled via
a rocker-type switch. 16 Balanced/unbalanced (bal/unbal)
line inputs shall be wired in parallel, using 1/4" TRS
phone jacks, accepting nominal levels from –40dBu to
+4dBu. Each channel shall include a pre-fader Insert
point, using 1/4" TRS phone jacks (tip=send, ring=return,
sleeve=ground), delivering and accepting nominal levels
from –10dBV to +4dBu.
OTHER INPUTS: The mixer shall include 8 bal/unbal
Aux Return inputs, forming four stereo pairs, using 1/4"
TRS phone jacks, accepting nominal levels from –10dBV
to +4dBu; and 1 stereo pair of Tape In jacks, using unbal-
anced RCA-type phono jacks, accepting nominal levels from
–10dBV to +4dBu.
3. MIXER OUTPUTS.
MAIN OUTPUTS: The mixer’s Main Mix stereo outputs
shall be fi tted in two ways: Using symmetrically balanced
(also accepting unbalanced) 1/4" TRS phone jacks, deliv-
ering maximum output of +28dBu; and using unbalanced
RCA-type phono jacks (labeled TAPE OUT), delivering nomi-
nal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu; and the Main Mix Mono
output shall be fi tted with one symmetrically balanced
(also accepting unbalanced) 1/4" TRS phone jack, delivering
nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu.
OTHER OUTPUTS: Input channels 1–8 shall each include
a post-fader Direct Output, using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone
jacks, delivering nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu.
The mixer shall include 4 Submaster outputs, using bal/
unbal 1/4" TRS phone jacks, delivering nominal levels
from –10dBV to +4dBu; 1 stereo pair of Control Room
outputs, using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone jacks, delivering
nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu; 6 Aux Send outputs
using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone jacks, delivering nominal
levels from –10dBV to +4dBu; and 1 stereo Headphones
output, using an unbalanced 1/4" TRS phone jack (tip=left,
ring=right, sleeve=ground).
4. MIXER INPUT SECTION. In addition to the controls
listed in section 2 (MIXER INPUTS), each channel shall
include 4 rotary Aux Send controls and 1 Shift switch, pro-
viding up to 15dB gain, routing signals to Aux Sends 1, 2,
3 and 4 when the Shift switch is disengaged, and to Aux
