The INNOVATION series of radio consoles are designed for high quality radio
broadcast applications where consumer type audio sources are used. Todays
consumer audio source equipment is extremely
high performance and inexpensive. In many
applications, it provides a professional alter-
native to the traditional balanced, high out-
put, professional console and sources.
Consumer sources such as CD play-
ers easily plug in for installation
and are so inexpensive
that they are simply
replaced when they
wear out.
The INNOVATION
series features RCA connec-
tors so that consumer source
equipment just plugs in. Traditional
broadcast source equipment is connected
as before. For very high professional quality,
INNOVATION series consoles are digital on the
inside with a mix of analog and digital source inputs. For
the flexibility to be used in any level of application, these con-
soles feature BOTH analog and digital program outputs. With
professional quality components and hardware throughout, the INNOVATION
series is ideal for professional Radio applications.
