| SRC | ® 4018 FC, 4026 FC and 4034 FC |
The SRC | ® 4026 FC, 4034 FC and 4018 FC are versatile four-bus consoles in 18, 26 and 34 channel |
versions, built into road-worthy cases. Designed for sound reinforcement applications, they can also be used in multitrack recording.
The standard channels feature discrete low-noise mic preamps with globally-switched 48V phantom
power, low-cut filters, and four-band EQs. There are six auxiliary sends (four dedicated pre-EQ for mon- itor sends, two switchable pre-EQ/post-fader for monitor or effect sends), as well as bus assign (L/R, 1/2, 3/4), mute and PFL switches. The PFL logic automatically shifts the L/R meters to the PFL signal when any PFL button is pressed to assist in input gain adjustment and operates even when the channel
is muted. The mute circuitry squelches all sends from the channel, including all auxiliary sends and bus sends.
Two “super” mic channels also have pad and polarity switches for those applications that require it, as well as the standard channel functions. There are no line inputs on these channels. In addition to the mic channels, there are two stereo (line level) channels for tape, CD or synth inputs. These have all the standard channel functions except low-cut filters. AUX 5 and AUX 6 on these channels are configured for stereo (AUX 5 is Left, AUX 6 is Right) and are pre-EQ/post-fader switchable.
There are four fully-assignable stereo returns with PFL and mute, two of which have treble and bass controls. They can be used for effect returns or for additional stereo inputs. A dual function headphone/control-room level control sets the volume of the headphones and the output level at the control room output jacks. RCA type stereo tape inputs and outputs are provided, with sends to the main L/R mix and the AUX 1 and 2 (monitor) mixes. A talkback mic input can be also be assigned to the main mix or to AUX 1-4 for announcements or stage communication.
All bus summing amps are designed with discrete transistor circuitry for low noise operation. A unique gain structure gives an additional 6 dB channel fader and summing amp headroom over other designs.
The Left, Right, and four sub-mix master outputs each have LED meters. They are calibrated for a 0 dB reading at a +4 dBu output level. A balanced mono output (derived from the post fader Left and Right outputs) has its own level control. Each channel, stereo return, and master AUX send has an overload LED indicator that illuminates when the signal level is within 2 dB of clipping or when the PFL switch is activated. Electronic muting of the AUX and the Left and Right outputs greatly reduce any turn on and turn off transients.
Two lamp connectors are provided for Peavey ML | ™ -2 or ML ™ -3 flexible lamps to illuminate the console |
in dark environments. | |
