Product lists can be submitted to HHB for a packaged quotation
The Model E-1A Automatic Mixing Controller helps professional audio mixers handle multiple live mics without having to continually ride their individual faders. This eight-channel (analogue) or sixteen-channel (digital) signal processor patches into the input insert points of an audio mixing console.
It detects which mics are being used and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the faders. The Model E-1A’s voice-controlled crossfades track unscripted dialogue perfectly, eliminating cueing mistakes and late fade-ups while avoiding the choppy and distracting effects common to noise gates.
Features:
- Eliminates late upcuts
- Reduces PA feedback and studio noise
- Eight channels analogue or sixteen channels digital
- Dugan Control Panel for Java included
- Channels may be grouped into three independent auto mixers
- Half-rack size – mount two in one RU
- Link up to eight units for up to 128 channels
