MASTER MODULE BLOCK
The Master Module block contains the main
audio buses and their associated controls,
stereo inputs for effects and program materi-
al playback, and master functions including
monitoring and talkback.
Eight analog subgroups are provided with
left/right/mono assignment and pan control to
the console’s main outputs as well as separate
level controls to a two-channel matrix system.
Separate 100mm faders are provided for the 8
groups as well as the Left, Right, and Mono
outputs.
Control and monitoring of the 10 auxiliary
buses is provided, with additional "fader-flip"
capabilities which enables the aux output level
to be controlled by either the default rotary
control, or by the 100mm fader normally
assigned to the group and L/R.The main LED
meters always follow whatever signal is con-
trolled by the main fader.This allows the HP-
Eight to be used as a monitor console with
100mm fader control and full metering of the
10 main (Aux) outputs.
Full talkback control is provided to all auxiliary
outputs, as well as to all subgroups and main
outputs. An extensive monitor system is pro-
vided which allows every input and output to
be selectively listened to for monitoring of lev-
els and signal content. LED output metering
provides monitoring of the Console’s fader
signals (Group or Aux/LRM), with an inde-
pendent pair of meters for solo indication
(PFL or AFL).
Five stereo line inputs are provided on 60mm
faders, each with bus assignment,aux sends,3-
band stereo EQ plus lo-cut filter, and an input
gain control.
The versatility of this master section allows
the HP-Eight to be used in numerous applica-
tions from Front of House to Monitors, in
locations ranging from permanent installations
in Churches to being part of a portable rental
equipment inventory.
Crest has taken their Console expertise and
applied it to a new, compact-format design.
The HP-Eight delivers legendary Crest sound
at an even more affordable price.

Specifications- Mono Inputs HP-EIGHT Specifications- Master Section HP-EIGHT
INPUT MODULE BLOCK
Five models of the HP-Eight Console are available
with 24, 32, 40, 48 or 56 Mono Input channels.
Input modules blocks are assemblies made up of
8 channels.Each channel includes switches for:48-
volt phantom power, pad,polarity and lo-cut filter,
in addition to an input gain control.
Four-band EQ is provided with fixed high and low
frequency points, with sweep frequency control
of the two mid bands.The entire EQ circuit can
be bypassed by disengaging the EQ ON switch.
10 auxiliary sends are divided into 3 versatile sets
with each set having its own pre/post fader
switch. Pre or Post fader selection can be chosen
in groups of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10. Both pre and post
sends are automatically muted when the channel
is muted. The default PRE selection is Pre-
fader/Post-EQ, but internal options allow this
selection to be changed to Pre-EQ.
Bus assignment switches are provided for panned
access to the Left-Right buses as well as analog
subgroups 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, along with direct
assignment to the Mono mix bus.
In addition to local channel muting, a 4-channel
scene mute system is provided with master
switches and LED indicators (See Master sec-
tion). A high quality 100mm fader is used for
channel level control, and a PFL switch with peak
and signal present LED indicator is provided for
channel level status and monitoring.
HP-Eight uses contemporary construction meth-
ods and adheres to the highest standards of engi-
neering design. High quality componentry is used
throughout. The HP-Eight is powered by an inter-
nal switching power supply, designed to work on
worldwide voltages at 50 or 60 Hz. In addition, a
DC connector is provided for attachment to an
optional, external backup supply for worry-free,
redundant operation. Supply switchover is auto-
matic, no additional hardware is needed, it is
already built into the HP-Eight.
Crest Audio backs the HP-EIGHT with the same
Industry-leading, Five-Year warranty as its larger
Consoles. If service is ever needed, module-
blocks are easily removed from the chassis for
quick swap and repair, no bottom-side access is
needed.
