Frame Sizes
The SM16 is available in three frames sizes, 32, 40 and 48 channels. The frames
are configured, from left to right:
inputs 1 - 24
master
groups 1 - 8
inputs 25 - 32 (32 channel)
inputs 25 - 40 (40 channel)
inputs 25 - 48 (48 channel)
Power Supplies
All frame sizes will use the CPS900 PSU. Connection to the console is via an 8way
and a 16-way SRC connector below inputs 21-24. The SRC panel also carries a
ground binding post.
Lamps
Three BNC connectors for lamps are fitted to all frame sizes - one on the master
module, and one at either end of the console on the infill panels. These are suitable
for Littlite or similar 12V lamps taking up to 330mA each. The voltage supply to
the lamps can be varied between 1.5v (dim) and 12v (bright) by the Dimmer control,
mounted under the armrest in front of the master module.
Metering
Each input module has its own bargraph meter in the overbridge. The groups are
metered by bargraphs which are next to the faders on the output modules.
The stereo mix/solo metering is by two illuminated VU meters, with integral peak
LEDs, in the overbridge above the master module.
Soundcraft
Founded in 1973, Soundcraft first made its mark with the launch of the Series 1, the first mixing console in a flightcase. Back in the early 70's, the music touring business was just beginning - and the transportable mixing desk quickly became popular among the bands and the new PA companies that were springing up to rent out sound equipment.
From what was then a small company in central London, Soundcraft expanded and started to diversify. The company designed a mixer for recording - the Series 2 - and began to build a reputation for great-sounding desks, which is often referred to as the favoured 'British Sound'.
Design and innovation has always been one of Soundcraft's major strengths. Over the years it has introduced a number of industry-favoured consoles such as the Series 4, 2400, TS24, 8000, 200B, 6000, Delta, SAC200 and the Spirit Folio range, and more recently the Series FIVE, FIVE Monitor and Broadway.
Today Soundcraft has a network of 88 distributors selling and supporting its products world-wide. Part of the Harman Pro Group, Soundcraft is still very much the dedicated professional mixing console designer and manufacturer it was back in 1973. It now boasts a range of mixers which are designed for use in live sound, recording, post-production, TV and radio production and disco applications.
Harman is an international company which comprises a group of dedicated manufacturers of audio equipment spanning professional audio, in-car systems, multimedia and hi-fi consumer products.
