FEATURES: THERE ARE 16 INPUTS IN THE MAIN FRAME.  THERE ARE NO MIC PRES. IN LIEU OF MIC PRES "SYNTH INS" HAVE ABOUT 45 DB OF GAIN BECAUSE THE CONSOLE WAS DESIGNED WITH SYNTHS AND DRUM MACHINES IN MIND. WHEN THE CHANNEL IS SET TO MIC PRE THE LINE IN CAN BE THE TAPE MONITOR AS THE CONSOLE IS AN INLINE MONITOR TYPE OF ARCHITECTURE. (NOTE: THE FACT THAT THE LABELING ON EACH CHANNEL REFERS TO "MIKE" IS MISLEADING. THE MIC PRE WAS AN OPTION NOT FITTED TO THIS CONSOLE.) BTW, THOUGH "UNBALANCED" THIS IS PRO-AUDIO GEAR, NOT SEMI-PRO OR CONSUMER. DOES NOT WORK FOR INSERT SEND RETURN. IF BUYER WISHES SEND/RTN FUNCTIONALITY RESTORED AND MOD DISABLED SELLER WILL BE HAPPY TO OBLIGE. ALL 16  INPUTS HAVE A 3 BAND SWEEPABLE EQ WITH +/- 15 DB BOOST AND CUT. 8 METERS SHOW BUS 1-8 LEVELS, AND VIA A SWITCH 2 OF THE METERS CAN SHOW STEREO BUS. THERE ARE BUS LEVEL CONTROLS FOR THE MULTITRACK AND THE AUX/CUE BUSSES.NOTE: ALL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS ON THIS CONSOLE ARE UNBALANCED - THIS WAS A SPECIFIC SPECK DESIGN PHILOSOPHY BASED ON THE INTENDED MARKET FOR THEIR CONSOLES, NAMELY, FILM AND TV MUSIC COMPOSERS WITH LOTS OF SYNTHS, SAMPLERS AND DRUM MACHINES. UNBALANCED INPUTS GENERALLY SOUND BETTER THAN BALANCED AND WILL WORK WELL WITH MOST GEAR EXCEPT FOR SOME GEAR WHOSE BALANCED OUTPUTS ARE IMPROPERLY DESIGNED, LIKE THOSE OF PRO TOOLS HD SYSTEMS AND OLD ADR OUTBOARD GEAR. THE SITUATION WITH SUCH IMPROPERLY DESIGNED GEAR CAN BE DEALT WITH BY SIMPLY NOT CONNECTING THE (-) SIGNAL ON EACH BALANCED OUTPUT SIGNAL. THE CONSOLE DOES NOT COME WITH A POWER SUPPLY. HAS SEVERAL HOLES IN THE ORIGINAL WOOD SIDES.THE SIGNAL PATH IS BEST CHARACTERIZED AS MINIMALIST AND CLEAN. BACKGROUND HISS IS QUITE LOW. GENERALLY A TRANSPARENT CONSOLE.
