ANALOG PRODUCTION
|
ON-AIR CONSOLE
We designed the Airmate-USB
to fulfil the requirements for a
high grade low cost radio pro-
duction mixer.
Built around well proven low
noise circuitry, this
console is
the reliable workhorse for the
self-op production D.J. that
needs an internal Telephone
Hybrid (2x) and USB connec-
tion to the PC (e.q. for stream-
ing to the web)
A heavy duty 19" rack mounted
RF shielded chassis houses 8
vertical triple input modules
giving flexibility rarely found in
a mixer of this type.
Six input channels with high
quality balanced microphone
inputs on XLR and two stereo
line level inputs on Cinch (RCA)
connectors. And… every line
level line B input can be con-
verted into a phono (grammo-
phone) channel by simply fit-
ting an optional stereo R.I.A.A.
equalized phono pre-amp.
MIC, LINE, USB AND TELE-
PHONE IN-OUTPUTS.
This new Airmate-USB model has 6
balanced mic inputs (+48 phantom
is standard), 12 stereo line inputs,
2x USB and 2x Telephone Hybrids.
Channel 5 and 6 have Mic/Line and
USB interface to transfer audio
from and to your PC.
Channel 7 and 8 have, apart from
the stereo line input, also RJ-11
connectors to interface with a POT
line and a telephone appliance.
High quality built in Hybrids with R
and C balance and direct Talk back
in the Hybrid channels makes a
conversation with listeners very
easy.
The front panel ON switch is wired
in series with the built in mechani-
cal faderstart enabling selection of
start either by fader or hard start
via the ON switch. Faderstart gen-
erates in the Mic mode a Mic-on
signalling to switch on ON-Air
lights. There is a 3 band Equalizer
on channel 1-6. The stereo Aux
send can be set pre or post fader.
All mic inputs have low cut jump-
ers. A clean feed send is available
for external Hybrids.
EXTENSIVE MASTER SECTION
DESIGNED FOR RADIO.
The Airmate-USB has the usual
master controls such as stereo
master faders, stereo Aux send
and return, monitor master with
"follow phones" and a phones out-
put with a split control function.
There is a balance control to con-
tinuously adjust the volume be-
tween main output and stereo Cue
signal.
In addition, there is a special Radio
On-air/production section featur-
ing; Self-op switching to automati-
cally cut control room level when
the
D.J. mic is active; a Clean feed
output to also drive an external
Telephone Hybrid for talk shows
and interviews, if you need more
Hybrid channels than the 2 built in
ones; a special announcer output
that normally follows main output
but can be switched so that the
main output, or any cue signal that
is selected, can be heard when in
the "follow phones" mode.
A large Talkback switch activates
the built-in electret talkback mi-
crophone for easy communication
with the Clean-feed output, Aux
output and/or Announcer output.
