SX4882
The Meter Bridge – Functionality and
Stunningly Cool
Once you've had a meterbridge on deck,
it's hard to go back. Essential in the studio and
amazingly cool live, the meterbridge provides
visual confirmation of what is going on with all
your signals with just a quick glance. Each input
channel, all the subgroups and the main outputs
feature 12-level LEDs organized incrementally
with traffic-light style color coding, so you can
verify input and output levels, even on the
Mix B channels.
Many console manufacturers offer a
meterbridge only as an expensive, optional add-
on, however, the SX4882 provides it standard.
APPLICATIONS
Church Services
Running live sound in houses of worship has
become a truly professional pastime with the
advent of affordable, quality sound gear and
the rise of congregations that require bigger
and more capable sound systems. The multiple
input and auxiliary send options of the SX4882
are designed to accommodate a wide variety of
performance needs, large and small.
Worship services, choir, and music ensembles
are easily mixed and recorded live. Go directly
into your digital interface from the subgroup
outs, Mix B or Main Out, right into your tracking
software. CD's or DVDs can then be distributed
to members of the congregation who may have
trouble attending services. Caution: your status
may be elevated in the church from sound grunt
to near-savior.
Corporate A/V
Corporate AV is a truly multi-media
experience, where there may be many different
input sources - from a laptop, MP3, CD, DVD,
television, projector, or camera. The SX4882 has
RCA tape in and two external ¼" 2-track inputs,
plus each channel has the choice of balanced
or unbalanced, +4 dB or -10dB input levels. Mix
B provides additional input options for routing
audio sources into the console. With 48 total
channels and 82 total inputs, even the largest
conventions can be accommodated.
Corporate presentations often require
sound reinforcement to a large room,
typically with several pairs of speakers
scattered throughout the auditorium.
With eight subgroup outs, you have 4 sets
of individual stereo controls, in addition
to the main L/R out. Mix B provides
an additional stereo mix, for a total of
6 separate stereo output options.
