puts; 1 stereo pair of Alt 3–4
outputs; 2 Aux Send outputs;
and 1 stereo headphone
output. The mixer shall be
capable of placement on a
table or installation in a
standard 19-inch rack mount
(via optional rack rail
brackets) and shall be
entirely self-contained.
2. MIXER INPUTS. MONO
CHANNELS 1–6: The mixer
shall include 6 electronically
balanced mic inputs, using
XLR-3-F-type connectors,
accepting nominal levels
from –60dBu to +14dBu via
6 rotary Trim controls.
Phantom power shall be
available via a globally-
controlled rocker-type switch.
6 balanced or unbalanced
(bal/unbal) line inputs shall
be wired in parallel, using
1/4" TRS phone jacks,
accepting nominal levels
2/10/98
from –40dBu to +22dBu.
The mixer shall include 6
channel Inserts, using 1/4"
TRS phone jacks (tip=send,
ring=return, sleeve=ground),
delivering and accepting
nominal levels from –10dBV
to +22dBu. STEREO CHAN-
NELS 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and
13/14: The mixer shall
include 8 bal/unbal line
inputs, forming 4 stereo input
pairs, using 1/4" TRS phone
jacks, accepting nominal
levels from –10dBV to
+22dBu, with +4dBu/–10dBV
level switches. OTHER
INPUTS: The mixer shall
include 4 bal/unbal Aux
Return inputs, forming two
stereo pairs, using 1/4" TRS
phone jacks, accepting
nominal levels from –10dBV
to +22dBu. The mixer shall
include 1 stereo pair of Tape
In jacks, using unbalanced
RCA-type phono jacks,
accepting nominal levels from
–20dBV to +16dBu.
3. MIXER OUTPUTS. MAIN
OUTPUTS: The mixer’s Main
Output stereo pairs shall be
fitted in three ways: Using
balanced XLR-3-M-type
connectors, delivering
nominal levels from –6dBV
to +28dBu, including 1 Main
Output Level switch to
provide 30dB attenuation
(XLR outputs only); using
bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone
jacks, delivering nominal
levels from –10dBV to
+22dBu; and using unbal-
anced RCA-type phono
jacks, delivering nominal
levels from –10dBV to
+22dBu. OTHER OUTPUTS:
The mixer shall include 1
stereo pair of Alt 3–4 outputs
using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS
phone jacks, delivering
nominal levels from –10dBV
to +22dBu; 1 stereo pair of
Control Room outputs using
bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone
jacks, delivering nominal
levels from –10dBV to
+22dBu; 2 Aux Send outputs
using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS
phone jacks, delivering
nominal levels from –10dBV
to +22dBu; and 1 Head-
phones output using an
unbalanced 1/4" TRS phone
jack (tip=left, ring=right,
sleeve=ground).

4. MIXER INPUT SECTION.
In addition to the controls
listed in section 2 (MIXER
INPUTS), each channel
shall include 2 rotary Aux
Send controls, providing up
to 15dB gain; 3 rotary
equalization (EQ) controls:
±15dB @ 12kHz shelving,
±12dB @ 2.5kHz peaking
and ±15dB @ 80kHz
shelving; 1 rotary Pan
control, 4dB attenuation
panned center; 1 Mute/Alt
3–4 switch, to be used as a
channel mute or to route the
signal to the alternate stereo
bus (Alt 3-4); 1 dual-mode
solo switch (AFL or PFL,
globally switched); and 1
channel Fader, providing up
to 10dB above unity gain.
5. MIXER OUTPUT SECTION.
The mixer shall have 2
Main Mix Faders, providing
up to 10dB gain; 1 Control
Room/Phones Fader,
providing up to 10dB gain;
1 Source Matrix including 3
switches to deliver any
combination of stereo
signals to the Control
Room, Phones and Meters,
including Main Mix, Alt 3-4
and Tape, which shall be
replaced by any solo signals
resulting from the engage-
ment of any channel’s Solo
switch; 1 Assign to Main
Mix switch to deliver the
Source Matrix signals to the
Main Mix; 1 Solo Mode
switch to globally deter-
mine solo type (pre-fader
listen or after-fader listen,
in place); 2 rotary Aux
Return level controls,
providing up to 20dB gain;
1 rotary Aux Send 1 Master
control, providing up to
10dB gain; 1 Aux Send
global Pre/Post switch; 1
EFX to Monitor switch,
allowing Aux Return 1
signals to be delivered to

6. METERING. The mixer
shall include 1 stereo
12-segment LED meter with
points at –30, –20, –10, –7,
–4, –2, 0, +2, +4, +7, +10dB
and Clip. The source signals
for the meters shall be the
same signals selected in the
Source Matrix, and a solo
condition shall replace the
Source selection with the
soloed channel(s). The
meters shall be calibrated
so that a 0dBu signal at the
Control Room output shall
be indicated as 0dB on the
meters, ±1 LED.
7. PHYSICAL CONFIGURA-
TION. The mixer shall be
made of steel, painted dark
gray with light gray graphics.
The mixer’s dimensions
shall be 3.3" (84mm) in
height, 14.0" (356mm) in
width and 13.0" (330mm)
