Specifications

PSC
M3
◆ Three high quality transformer-balanced
XLR inputs (with switchable “T”,Dynamic
or 48v phantom powering) and outputs for
pristine audio with low noise. All inputs and
outputs are mic/line switchable and have a
3-way input pad: Dynamic 0dB Pad,
Condenser -15dB Pad, Line Level -50dB Pad.
◆ Additional outputs include two 10-pin
Hirose connectors for use with Beta snake
cables (mic or line switchable) for conve-
niently connecting to two cameras, and two
Auxiliary outputs for transcription or RF
feeds (mic or line switchable). The 10-pin
connector provides audio signal flow as well
as tape return signal flow for monitoring.
◆ Ganging input and output connectors allow
you to use two M3 mixers tied together.
◆ Channels 3 and 4 can be linked for stereo
recording using 2 mics in either M-S or X-Y
configurations. The “Gang“ switch links
inputs 3 and 4 and both input levels are
then controlled by Pot 4.
◆ “Separate” and “Ganged” switches allow
independent or linked operation of both
limiters.
◆ The LCD Peak meters emulate the peak
reading attributes found in many Betacams.
This ensures the meters accuracy no matter
how the mixer and camera are connected.
◆ Low cut filters eliminate low frequency noise
and rumble.
◆ The momentary “Slate”button activates a
built in slate microphone for recording
notes and information related to editing.
◆ Headphone monitoring selections include
Left to both ears, Stereo, Right to both ears,
Mono, Pre Fade Listen of channels 1,2 and 3
and MS Stereo as well as Tape returns from
two Betacams.
◆ A handy boom-pole remote control attaches
to any boom pole.This allows sound engi-
neers to adjust recording level without
reaching for the mixer.

3-Channel ENG Audio Mixer
A cost effective, flexible portable mixer that combines
rugged construction, high quality componentry, and
ease of use ergonomics in a compact package, the M3
is perfect for ENG and EFP applications, digital and
desktop recording and editing. The M3 features 3 high-
quality, transformer-balanced XLR inputs and 2 (L/R) stereo
paired XLR outputs capable of both mic and line level operation. Output limiters
eliminate transient peaking caused by signal overload. The dual limiters can either be used independently or “gang” them
together for applying the limiter to stereo signals. The M3 is powered via AA batteries offers 48-volt phantom power, and
has a dual multi-pin connector for a single interface between the M3 and Betacam cameras. A convenient on board slate
microphone is standard and a supplied boom pole remote control allows engineers the freedom of adjusting record levels
while handling the boom pole.
M6
6-Channel Portable Mixer for Location Sound Recording
The M6 Mixer was designed for extreme field operating conditions (utilizes rotary
pot faders because of their immunity to dirty and dusty conditions). In addition,
it offers provisions for direct mounting of a DAT or DVD recorder. This
allows for a simple and convenient means of recording in the field
whether you are working on a sound stage, in an insert car, or at
some other remote location.
The M6 Mixer offers six inputs each with switchable mic powering, line or
mic inputs, phase reversal, 2-way EQ, pan pot and two aux sends. Its output
section contains two large, easy to read LCD peak meters, slate microphone, private line to
boom operators, full duplex boom communication, recorder remote rolls, reference oscillator, four selectable headphone feeds,
two main outputs, two aux outputs, and a selectable video assist output.
