Extensive human engineering and over 20 years of experience in console design have been combined to provide the operator with a console which is both visually appealing and easy to operate. Internally the approach is similar, with immediate visual identification and ease of access to every component and connection in the console. All audition outputs are balanced line level and metered, identical in function and performance to the main program output.
All consoles have a three position output director switch on the audition output line.
Separate 1 watt power amplifiers are located within the console to provide a high quality audio source for the internal 5 inch cue speaker and the two headphone monitor outputs. Another internal monitor amplifier provides 12 watts per channel of audio for monitor speakers. Rugged telephone-type relays are utilized and are socket mounted for ease of maintenance. The power supply and transformer is completely internal to the console. The transformer is specially designed for low field operation with Mylar interwinding insulation for protection against transient damage.
