dynamic range. In the field,
this translates into two times
more headroom than old-style
mixers — where it counts in
the critical mix amp stage.
Instead of afterthought
XLRs stuck on the back, we
provide real phantom-pow-
ered mic inputs with
discrete, balanced micro-
phone preamps as good as
large consoles. Four conju-
gate-pair transistors with
large-emitter geometry re-
duce distortion at all levels,
while delivering extremely
low noise (our published
spec of –129.5dBm @150
ohms is real and verifiable)
and ultra-wide, 10Hz–
300kHz bandwidth.
A WEALTH OF
INNOVATIVE FEATURES
Constant-power pan pots
maintain consistent acoustic
power while panning center
to side. In-place stereo solo
maintains stereo perspective
when the user solos a chan-
nel — and the same button
provides individual channel
metering! An additional ALT
3/4 Bus provides an extra
stereo output mix for broad-
cast or recording. AUX sends
provide an extra 15dB of gain
above unity to maximize
effects at low volume levels,
allowing you to monitor
selected channels without
having to give up send capa-
bilities on other channels.
Equalization is at 80Hz,
2.5kHz and 12kHz… points
that prove to be more musi-
cally useful than those used
by most compact mixers.
The ultimate proof that
the CR-1604 stands above
other compact mixers is the
