Analog console sound modular.
the config is 32/8/2 or 40/8/2 FREQUENTLY.

it was the upscale soundcraft the late 80s.
She disappeared from the technical cards long ago.

symmetric connections (except for inserts if my memory serves).
optional LED-meters on the slices.
VU meters for groups and master.

The EQ is 4 band parametric with 3 possible widths for each band.
the preamp line is on a separate circuit, a microphone input and not attenuated.

SOUNDS


It seemed that there were divergent views among the sound guys on that console.
personally, I liked it.

It clears up at first a feeling of softness in its reply, the knobs must be frankly (serrated) to get something. Despite this, the feeling is good, the correctors are used in broadband pleasant, and slices react well when overmodulation is always a little margin. In addition it revealed a nice color module when hard on the bus stereo, the sound becomes more compact and it works well in homogeneous rock.
But she has a few tricks up his sleeve: in the theater orchestra acoustque avec18 condenser microphones on stage, standard levels, the sound was detailed, full and natural. OK, this is one link in the chain.



OVERALL OPINION


Thirty dates with this console.
I preferred to TAC bullet and scorpions were the norm in the small park sono 90s.
