Recording console with inline monitor.

Overview

The Studio 32 is a 16-channel, 4-group, inline monitor recording console which offers sonic quality and routing versatility that goes far beyond the capabilities of any mixer in its price range. As a true inline console, the Studio 32 lets you send 16 audio signals to a recorder and monitor 16 channels coming back from tape without re-patching.

Its 16 hybrid/discrete phantom-powered mic preamplifiers offer excellent sonic quality, very low noise, and high headroom with more than 60dB of gain, making it ideal for digital recording. Plus, these preamps are fed by 16 XLR inputs — one for each mic pre — making small mixer routing nightmares a thing of the past. Another highlight of the Studio 32 is its big console EQ section, providing low and high shelving controls and a powerful, fully-parametric mid-frequency control set with individual gain, sweep, and Q controls. Effects and cue mixes are handled by 6 aux sends, 2 pre-fader, and 4 post-fader.

Precise pan controls, mute and solo switches, peak indicators, and smooth 60mm true logarithmic faders are found on every channel. Plus, the Studio 32 is designed for professional use, so all of its audio connections are located on the rear panel. The Studio 32 easily connects to a variety of gear using either balanced or unbalanced signal levels, with 1/4 in. TRS jacks handling most interfacing duties.
