Introduction
What This User Guide Covers
This User Guide is designed to assist you
when installing, configuring, and using
the Model 740 Audio Mixer. Additional
background technical information is also
provided. A product block diagram is
included at the end of this guide.
System Overview
The Model 740 Audio Mixer is expressly
designed for use in compact electronic-
news-gathering (ENG) vehicles. Many other
audio production applications can also be
supported. Model 740 features include six
mic/line inputs, a monaural output bus,
LED metering, and a flexible monitoring
section. It’s important to note that the fea-
ture set was carefully selected to provide
exactly what’s needed —and no more!
Keeping it simple was the design mantra.
The Model 740 is targeted for use by
operators that have a multitude of tasks
to perform, and too little time to do them.
Using its experience in mobile broadcast
applications, Studio Technologies was
able to design the Model 740 to include
all the crucial features required to meet
the needs of fast-paced news-gathering
operations, while still providing the opera-
tor with an extremely easy-to-use product.
The hallmarks of the Model 740 are ap-
plication flexibility, simplicity in use, audio
quality, and long-term reliability. A number
of internal configuration jumpers allow the
unit’s performance to be tailored to the
needs of specific installations. The care-
fully selected feature set ensures that the
Model 740 will be a “team player” when
it’s integrated into an audio system. While
there’s flexibility on the inside, the opera-
tor is presented with an easy-to-use set of
front-panel controls and indicators—the
operator never has to access the back
panel to operate the unit. In this way the
goal of delivering successful on-air and
production audio, day-after-day, can best
be achieved. The Model 740’s audio
quality is “pro” throughout. The compo-
nents were carefully selected to deliver
low-noise, low-distortion performance.
