In addition to an extensive range of gating, compression, and equalization capabilities, there's also a built-in USB memory recorder/player for recording or BGM playback, and other functionality that give you everything you need for small to medium scale live sound or installed applications in remarkably compact, all-in-one consoles. •82 Yamaha 01 v The Yamaha 01V96V2 is a 16 input channel digital mixer with both 96kHz / 24-bit and surround sound support. It’s a smaller version of the 02R96 and offers the same cutting edge performance but at a lower cost. It’s a great mixer for home and professional studios as well as for theatres and broadcast. Expandable to 40 Channels The mixer comes with 16 analog inputs, 12 of which have XLR/TRS inputs and phantom power and the other 4 inputs are TRS inputs. The TRS inputs accept line level sources. Inputs 15/16 can also be switched to receive input from the 2TR (2 Track) input. Input channels 17 through 24 are connected to the ADAT light pipe. Channels 25 through 32 are routed to the card slot which is connected when you install an optional IO module. Channels 33 through 40 are the returns of the 4 stereo effect processors. This is default input channel settings for the mixer. You can change the routings of any channel using the input/output patch bay. When operating at the 96kHz sample rate the number of inputs changes to 32 because the number of channels used by both the ADAT light pipe and digital effect processors are cut in half.

The emphasis with the Soundcraft EPM is very firmly on quality build and audio performance, with an easy to understand control surface uncluttered by unnecessary facilities, and Soundcraft have brought new technologies and ideas to this very cost-effective range. Surface mount technology is used throughout, using close-tolerance components for high accuracy and repeatable settings for EQ and gain controls. The highly-transparent GB30 Mic amp (designed by Graham Blyth for the company’s 30th anniversary, and also used on the larger LX7ii and GB Series consoles) features high-resolution adjustment over a wide gain range of 55dB, and provides a stunning +22dB headroom through the console. True professional 48-volt phantom power caters for condenser microphones of all types. A unique feature of the signal monitoring is the PEAK led. This uses multipoint signal take-offs to watch for overload in several parts of the channel strip, and the led lights more brightly as the signal approaches the peak point. For smooth and accurate channel control, the EPM has 60mm high quality faders as used on other Soundcraft desks. The monitor output and headphone output work in parallel so that performers can still listen on phones while an engineer is listening on studio monitors. •85 Soundcraft Notepad Ultra-compact lightweight mixer. 4 Balanced Mic and Line Inputs, 2 Band EQ, 1 Aux.

It is designed for a wide range of small to medium scale applications and a clear perspective to provide flexible, configurable array solutions to the most arduous sound reinforcement situations. Control of dispersion behavior is a particular fixation at d&b, while at the same time keeping the size and weight of systems to an absolute minimum. It also embodies the d&b holistic approach to sound reinforcement solutions: integrating loudspeakers, electronics, mechanical deployment assemblies, remote control functions and setup design tools for precise calculation of array performance. The Q-Series maintains the ”d&b specific” combination of a neutral, intelligible sound character that is clear and transparent even at high sound pressure levels providing the engineer with an efficient, effortless tool and a neutral platform. •122 d&b C4 System The C-Series loudspeaker range from d&b audiotechnik has been optimized for flexible, modular array configurations and high sound pressure levels. Applications range from professional touring use and large-scale sound installations down to single cabinet setups requiring narrow dispersion with minimum dimensions. The "d&b specific" combination of a neutral, intelligible sound character that is clear and transparent even at high sound pressure levels provides the engineer with an efficient, effortless tool and a neutral platform. This is achieved through d&b’s unique design approach based on a holistic view of the interaction between loudspeakers, electronics and mechanical accessories. •123 Nexo PS10 System PS Series systems are engineered to maintain the inherent coherency of two-way designs (the minimum number of drivers required for full-range reproduction) in the broadest practical range of applications. Advanced cone transducers deliver maximum output and thermal stability. The unique, square mouth PS Series horn, with its asymmetrical progressive pattern, allows user-rotation of PS Series coverage patterns to focus acoustical energy on listeners and away from reflective surfaces. ACTIVE FULLRANGE PROCESSING NEXO R&D works closely with transducer suppliers to optimize driver performance. We've applied this intimate knowledge of our transducers to develop advanced analog and digital signal processing that protects and optimizes each PS Series driver without introducing audible coloration. NEXO TDcontollers (Temperature Displacement Controllers) are linked to amplifier outputs via sense lines for rock-solid system protection at extremely high output levels. In many applications, their exceptional power-to-size ratios and efficient control of acoustic energy combine to enable a single PS system to replace an array of less advanced two-way loudspeakers. •124 Signal Processing BSS Omnidrive Compact BSS FDS 334/T Mini Drive BSS Opal 31 Band Graphic EQ Klark Teknik Square 1 GEQ Yamaha SPX990 Effects Processor Lexicon MX300 Effect Processor DBX 266XL Compressor/Gate Audia Solo 8/8 DSP •125 BSS Omnidrive Compact The BSS Audio FDS-366T Omnidrive Compact Plus Loudspeaker Management System is the one loudspeaker management system that really satisfies all your system requirements, and it just got even better! It includes the first pro audio implementation of WHISEWORKS - NTM * filter technology, which means that you can take your loudspeakers closer to their operating bandwidths without fear of overexcursion. One FDS-366 can drive a true stereo 3-way system, or 3 bi-amp outputs for monitors. Add more units and MIDI slave linking to make stereo 4, 5 and even 6-way systems. Other applications are also covered, such as zoning to six discrete areas using full range or band-restricted outputs. As a mono sum of all three inputs is available, the FDS-366 will find favor with LCR post-production monitoring systems where a mono sub output is required. A stereo AES/EBU digital input also means that the FDS-366 is an ideal product for studio monitoring applications. BSS has incorporated the very latest digital technology and DSP algorithms to provide the Compact Plus with truly astonishing audio performance. The latest generation of 24-bit converters with carefully engineered support electronics provides a dynamic range in excess of 112dB (unweighted) without employing 'massaging' techniques that could have side effects. Using a 96kHz sample rate further enhances the sonic performance of the FDS-366. The advantages of this higher rate mean a more natural and open sound thanks to a 40kHz bandwidth and improved filter responses that are possible with the higher Nyquist frequency. •126 BSS FDS 334T Mini Drive Minidrive provides all four core functions of the Omnidrive range: crossovers (Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel or Butterworth), mid-band limiters, equalisation freely assignable to inputs and outputs, and both input and output delay. BSS has provided Minidrive with a similar user interface to its big brother the FDS-366T "Omnidrive Compact Plus". The four-arrow "navipad" allows access to menus and facilties, while push-toselect switches on the output level controls ensure fast access to channels for editing. Data is shown on a bright blue LCD display, with data entry via a parameter wheel. Input and output level meters are an immediate comfort for the engineer, and individual output band mute keys are provided. Together, these make the Minidrive more convenient and faster to set up and adjust than any DSP unit in its class. •127 BSS Opal 31 Band EQ Graphic equalizers are found in just about every sound application, from room contouring to feedback control and general audio sweetening. Traditionally, much general eq'ing takes place on the faders alone, but this restricts the use of the faders at each end of the scale for further precision eq work. So we provided the Opal FCS-966 with separate LF and HF contour filters which can change an overall sound balance without disturbing a detailed room or loudspeaker response. These filters are very musical gentle boost and cut shelving filters which can be used to add (or remove) room effects that change with temperature, audience numbers or humidity. All these effects can be easily made without disturbing the critical fader settings already made. Constant Q Filters The modern generation of graphic eq's uses the Constant Q topology, pioneered by BSS Audio, which means that the filter width is constant whatever the fader gain setting. •128 Klark Teknik Square 1 GEQ 45mm faders with integral dust guards Long-throw faders for maximum accuracy and resolution.

Roadworthy 3U steel chassis Designed to withstand the rigours of the road. PROportional Q filters The 'Q' or bandwidth of the Square ONE's filters is proportional to the gain applied, and so gives increasing focus on real problem frequencies. This also means that adjacent filters sum together with minimum phase error, providing smooth, ripple-free summation. This filter mapping is also implemented on the World-leading Klark Teknik DN370, and is the most appropriate for live sound reinforcement. •129 Yamaha SPX990 Advanced Hardware for Superior Sound The latest 20-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion technology-sampling at 44.1kHz.

The superb engineering in the 266XL ensures that both its compression and gating provide versatility and excellent sonic performance in situations where other compressor/gates typically produce undesirable processing artifacts. When using the 266XL’s Auto Dynamic™ Attack and Release controls, artists and engineers will find that the center settings deliver classic dbx compression, while the full control range produces voicing's that extend from slow “leveling” to aggressive “peak” limiting. The Auto Dynamic™ circuitry continuously adjusts the actual attack and release times to optimally match the program material. Since users aren’t restricted to using the Attack and Release controls only in “peak” operation, they can tailor the response of the 266XL for individual tracks, mixed program material, special effects or system protection. As a result, production studios can use the versatile 266XL to replace multiple “single-purpose” limiters while sound reinforcement users can standardize on the 266XL for all of their applications. •132 Audia Solo 8 In / 8 Out DSP AudiaSOLO is a single rack-space version of AUDIA™, the benchmark in digital audio systems for demanding professional sound installations.

Each participant can hear all other participants on the same circuit while being able to talk to them simultaneously, so a full ‘duplex’ conversation can take place – similar to a telephone system. The major applications for these systems are in the theatre, conference, live performance and broadcast markets, though new applications are constantly emerging. A basic Tecpro communication system would comprise a power supply and two or more outstations or belt packs. An outstation may be wall mounted, free-standing or mounted in a rack. It will usually have a builtin loudspeaker and possibly a microphone. Belt packs are intended for personal use and work only with a headset. Outstations and belt packs connect together with two core screened microphone cable which carries system power, audio, and various control signals. Most have a 3pin XLR input and output and can be simply daisy-chained together. Alternatively interconnection can radiate out from a central, passive splitter. A combination of both methods is often used. More complex systems may use a master station which has two in-built power supplies and offers two independent communication circuits, A and B. Participants in a conversation on circuit A cannot communicate with those on circuit B (unless the two circuits are linked at the Master Station). However the person operating the master station can communicate with circuits A and B separately or together. 150 Induction Loops Audio-frequency induction loop systems (AFILS) allow hearing impaired people to hear more clearly. Most hearing aids have a ‘T’ or ‘MT’ switch which allows them to pick up the electromagnetic field generated by an induction loop system. The hearing aid converts this signal into a sound suited to its user’s specific hearing requirements. Any person with a hearing aid positioned within or near the loop (see example schematics below) can hear the loop signal by switching their hearing aid to the correct position, allowing them to participate more effectively in general conversation, ordering goods or services, listening to public performances, etc 151 Cue Lights Cue lights are used in all levels of production from large scale musicals to intimate studio dramas, from college shows to West End Theatre, in Broadcasting and Corporate event.
