[NAMM] Crest Audio HP-W

The HP-W is available in 28-, 36– and 44-standard mono input frames, with four full stereo channels, eight mono Automix™ channels (automix is a gain-sharing protocol that allows increased gain before feedback) and two stereo line returns.

The HP-W mixing console features a four-band, double-swept mid EQ, eight analog subgroups, 100 mm faders, two-channel matrix, talkback and monitor systems, eight-scene mute, a stereo ambient mic input and two alternate outputs with processing.

The console also includes 10 aux sends on each input channel with fader flip functions to enable use as a monitor mixer, plus four stereo line input channels with EQ, assignment and aux sends capable of handling dual-mono or split-track signals.

The HP-W is available now from authorized Crest Audio dealers.
