SP-16 On-Air Console

It's just a better buy!    We've looked around. We think when you do, you'll agree... "Today's best value in an On-Air Console is the SP-16!" The SP16 is solidly constructed, easy to install, simple to operate, and boasts several new improvements. Of course it delivers outstanding audio performance. It's the ideal console for On-Air. Features: NEW! Larger frame. Up to 16 input modules. NEW! Additional Monitor Module for separate studio feed NEW! Third summing amplifier for mix-minus ISDN back-feeds Fully Modular Construction High Performance Line and Microphone Inputs with Insert Points in Each Module Fully Balanced Stereo Program and Audition Buses Built In Talkback System Send to Four Locations Monaural mix-minus Bus (to Phone System) Phantom Power for Condenser Microphones Built In Conductive Plastic Faders Versatile Remote Control, All Solid State (No Relays), Isolated Start Stop Switches Count Up Timer Built In Reset Select on Each Module Heavy Duty Power Supply (19" Rack Mount) Cue Amplifier and Speaker Included as Standard Design Approach To achieve the best possible performance, the audio path was designed to be as direct as possible. We kept inputs away from outputs. Balanced mix buses and separate audio and logic ground systems are used. Each module is individually voltage regulated and all are fed by a massive regulated power supply. In other words, we went back to basics. Almost every control room is different. At every opportunity we looked for ways to make the SP16 as versatile as possible. It has been designed to be the center of a system, capable of being interfaced with almost any equipment normally found in a control room. A cue/talkback system and speaker are built in. An auto "count-up" timer is included. Phantom power for condenser microphones is standard. The console controls muting and can control the 'On-Air' lights in three locations. It features a third, balanced, stereo mix bus for ISDN back feeds, a mono utility bus (for feeding your telephone hybrid) and a balanced insert and return path on each module. Several remote control and logic options are possible. We use quality components. If we need it for proper performance, we use it. For example, 1%, low noise, metal film resistors are used throughout the audio path. Conductive plastic faders control levels. There are no relays to clean or incandescent lamps to replace. It is very rugged. The SP16's frame is constructed of 16 gauge steel. Standard components and circuits are used. There are no proprietary devices or secret black epoxy boxes to worry about. Most components can be found at any electronics parts outlet and of course, our Service Department is always ready to be of assistance. Solid Power Supply The SP16 is powered by the PS16, a rugged supply made with conservatively rated components. It can be operated from 100, 120, 220 or 240 volts AC, 50 or 60 Hz. A toroidal power transformer is used making this supply quiet, cool and clean.
