Not all audio components are created equally. Crest Audio has always striven to produce components which embody the finest audio quality and most rugged physical construction??regardless of cost.This design philosophy results in products...
Vx features:
? Mixing flexibility via 8 conventional Audio Groups & 8
VCA Groups, permitting enhanced Mix Integrity, Wet / Dry
Blending, and True Post Effect Sends.
? 4 Scene Mutes, designed to mute both pre- and post-fader
input channel signals including those Aux sends used as Monitors.
When muted, PFL circuitry, Peak, Level, and Dynamic
Signal Present LED indicators remain fully operational..
? Comprehensive Meter bridge provides signal level metering
of LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER/MONO, SOLO LEFT, SOLO
RIGHT, and 8 SUBGROUPS. The LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER/
MONO and SOLO meters are of a larger size and are
centered on the meter bridge. For 64 and 52 positions frames
sizes only, metering is also provided for the 8 AUX SENDS.
All level meters are of the mechanical moving coil type, are
referenced to +4 dBu, and are illuminated by long-life LED's.
? 8 Matrix Outputs Standard, useful for the creation of independent
mixes using the main outputs and External Input as
signal sources.
? Discreet bus assignments and L-C-R (Left-Center-Right)
panning. Input channels and Effects Returns incorporate an
uncompromised bus assignment section. Features include true
L-C-R panning, standard panning, clean mono bus, discrete
bus assigns, and panable stereo bus assigns.
? 8 Discrete Aux Sends, each with On/Off Control & Status
LED.
? Variable Hi-Pass filter on input channels allows for precise
control over a signal's unwanted low frequency content.
? Channel inserts are implemented using separate 1/4" TRS
jacks for send and return. An insert switch with indicator LED
allows A/B comparisons and signal processor bypass.
? Switchable Q on Hi Mid and Lo Mid EQ bands adds more
flexibility to an EQ circuit that already offers four sweepable
bands and selectable peak/shelving on the Hi and Lo bands.
? Each input channel features a five-segment LED array,
including a signal present LED, three signal level LEDs and a
peak indicator.
? SSM/PMI high-quality preamplifiers on balanced microphone/
line inputs for uncompromised audio quality and reliability.
All IC's within the audio path are socket mounted for
easy upgrade or service.
? 48 Volt switchable phantom power on all microphone inputs.
? Optional transformers available on all microphone inputs and
on Group, Left/Right, Mono, Aux, and Matrix outputs.
? Full function SOLO monitoring system with dedicated level
meters. User choice of PFL or AFL from any source, both in
stereo where appropriate.
? Standard frame sizes include 32, 44, 52, and 64 positions.
(20, 32, 40, and 52 inputs respectively). The Master section
occupies four positions and Groups occupy eight positions.
? Any frame size may be ordered short loaded for later expansion.
? Direct access to Group Mix buses allows expander mixers to
be easily patched into the console.
? Majority of audio Inputs and Outputs balanced on XLR connectors.
? Twin Power Supply capability with automatic changeover
backup for uncompromised reliability. Second Power Supply
optional.
? Optional Stereo Input modules available, useful for remote
feeds, effects returns, and other mic or line level signals requiring
stereo handling.
? Comprehensive Talkback section allows access to all primary
console outputs. Additional access provided to an external
location such as an on-stage monitor mixer system. External
signals can also be assigned into the talkback system including
Oscillator and Pink Noise source inputs.
