PURPOSE
The
MXS100
is a three input miniature stereo mixer designed for demanding in-
the-field use in broadcast ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and Field Production
applications. The MXS100 incorporates the functions required by news
professionals, sports announcers, film and video sound engineers into a tiny,
lightweight and rugged package.
The MXS100 Stereo Field Mixer is ideal for field use with DAT and other high
quality recording devices since it has extremely low input noise, wide, smooth
frequency response and low harmonic and IM distortion. Active balanced input
and output circuits eliminate transformer-induced microphonics, ringing, transient
overshoot and low frequency distortion. Digital compatible dynamic range of
98dB is achieved at normal operating control settings. Full 18dB headroom
above 0VU (+4dBm) is augmented with a fast, low distortion limiter. A built-in
tone oscillator and slate microphone make it easy to set levels and mark takes. A
switchable headphone feed allows program monitoring to one ear with a directors
cue fed to the other. A simple, foolproof optional gel cell battery power pack
allows extended field operation and fast full dual voltage recharge with no cell
memory deterioration.
The MX200
and MX200C
Stereo Studio Mixers retain the identical high quality
audio performance of the MXS100. They are an excellent choice for use in
studios, TV vans, and with the companion Expanders, makes a very powerful
mixing system in only one rack unit (1 ¾”). The MX200C adds an output limiter to
the basic MX200 features.
The companion XPS100
Input Expander adds four switchable XLR
Microphone/Line inputs with pan pots and switched 24VDC phantom microphone
power.
The companion XPS200
Stereo Line Input Expander adds two stereo -10/+4 line
inputs with close tracking VCA stereo level controls.
The MXS100/ MX200/ MX200C mixers may be used alone or in combination with
the XPS100 and/or XPS200 expanders for any application requiring a compact,
rugged and professional sounding mixing or input selection system. Several
expanders may be added for up to a 23 input system with minimal noise buildup
in the mixing system. Several power modules are available including both
replaceable and rechargeable 24V battery packs, DC-to-DC step-up converters
for 6 to 18V automotive or belt pack battery power and plug-in 24VDC wall mount
power supplies.
An optional rugged Field Pack carry bag includes side protection plates for the
mixer with quick-change slide mounts for the battery packs.
