4-Channel Compact Mixer
The KS-342 is a no compromise high-performance mixer
that adapts to your needs—since no two location projects
are ever the same, and often, they have demands beyond
the traditional sound mixing techniques. Ideal for all audio
application in professional broadcast and film work.
Input Facilities
◆ Selectable mic/line inputs providing 12- or
48-volt phantom power as required.
◆ Level trim at both sensitivities means the
main channel faders can be set at optimum
rotation for normal working.
◆ Massive 30dB pre-fader headroom plus
continuously variable hi-pass filtering
ensure signals never get out of hand.
◆ Channels can be ganged for true stereo
operation and switched to the left or right
mix busses.
Outputs
◆ Thumb-knob master level controls prevent
accidental adjustment and the signal passes
through switchable compressors before the
final output stages.
◆ Fast attack, compound release circuitry
provides a comfortable safety margin for
distortion free operation.
◆ Independent as well as ganged settings
ensure maximum flexibility for stereo and
dual-mono setups. This design philosophy
is carried through to the isolated outputs,
which are not a luxury but a necessity in
many situations.With a choice of levels
(left/right independent), symmetry and
connectors, four isolated two-channel feeds
are provided.
Comprehensive Monitoring
◆ Backlit, jam-proof,level meters offer a clear
visual indication of the main output signal.
◆ The headphone circuit can be switched to
monitor any combination of the outputs in
mono or stereo.
◆ Additionally, an indispensable PFL function,
which appears on the right meter as
well as
at the headphone output, is included.
FEATURES
◆ Smaller and lighter than any comparably
featured mixer, the front and side panels are
uncluttered and easy to use.
◆ The most-important channel faders feature
latex knobs for all-temperature comfort and
are easily gripped, even in gloves. Kamesan's
trademark bar-grip knobs are used for all
presets and never obstruct easy operation.
◆ Runs 8 hours on NP-1 battery in a quick-
change compartment, which also accepts a
battery pack using 8 AA batteries. Plus up to
16v DC can be applied to the mixer power
circuit,which also provides an auxiliary
regulated output for powering receivers,etc.
◆ The nature of location recording is that
there will always be situations that require
more channels or more processing. The
KS-342 features a multi-way link socket that
can be used to cascade a stereo input from
another mixer without sacrificing channels.
◆ Secondly, a discrete connector and sturdy
locks attach and integrate a range of
specialized modules that expand capabilities
instantly. Currently two variations are
available; the KS-6001, a four channel sub
mixer with identical features,and the
KS-6002, a block of four parametric
equalizers and compressors.
