For mixing, “The BOX” provides sixteen (16) dedicated summing input channels, as well as
the four (4) input channels, for a total of twenty (20) channels. Accordingly, all channels,
input and summing, have a fader, mute, pan-pot, program bus assignment, insert, solo, solo
safe, and aux/cue sends. Additionally, summing inputs have a “0dB” switch that bypasses the
fader and delivers the input signal to the pan-pot at unity gain. This feature is very useful for
summing individual DAW tracks that have fader & mute automation.
“The BOX” is equipped with a comprehensive master section that includes controls for
program bus insert and external inputs, auxiliary and cue masters, solo master, talkback, VU
meters, and a fully-featured monitor section that supports two (2) stereo speaker systems
and headphones. In addition, the master section contains two (2) 527 compressors that can
be assigned to the input channels when recording and the program bus when mixing.
To help assure reliability and longevity, “The BOX” is built to the same exacting API quality
standards as our Vision, Legacy Plus, and 1608 consoles.
