working S/N and 108dB dynamic range. In the field, this translates into two times more headroom than old-style mixers — where it counts in the critical mix amp stage.

Instead of afterthought XLRs stuck on the back, we provide real phantom-powered mic inputs with discrete, balanced microphone preamps as good as large consoles. Four conjugate -pair transistors with large-emitter geometry reduce distortion at all levels, while delivering extremely low noise (our published spec of –129.5dBm @150 ohms is real and verifiable) and ultra-wide, 10Hz– 300kHz bandwidth.

A WEALTH OFINNOVATIVE FEATURES

Constant-power pan pots maintain consistent acoustic power while panning center to side. In-place stereo solo maintains stereo perspective when the user solos a channel — and the same button provides individual channel

installed every day. Join the growing roster of system designers and contractors who are specifying the CR-1604 on the basis of its features, sound, and — above all — its undispu- table, rock-solid reliability.

metering! An additional ALT 3/4 Bus provides an extra stereo output mix for broadcast or recording. AUX sends provide an extra 15dB of gain above unity to maximize effects at low volume levels, allowing you to monitor selected channels without having to give up send capabilities on other channels. Equalization is at 80Hz, 2.5kHz and 12kHz… points that prove to be more musically useful than those used by most compact mixers.
