Summary of Contents for Schertler ARTHUR PRIME

  • Page 1 ARTHUR • U S E R • M A N U A L P R I M E S E R I E S - A N A L O G D E S K T O P M I X E R V1 EN W W W .
  • Page 2 I’m delighted that you have purchased a SCHERTLER® ARTHUR PRIME mixer. It is our pleasure to welcome you to a growing family of musicians and technicians, including many of the world’s leading soloists and sound engineers, who have chosen to work with SCHERTLER® products.
  • Page 3 INTRODUCTION The PRIME mixer series is based on the same technology used in SCHERTLER’s ARTHUR Format 48 mixer, guaranteeing best possible sound quality. The same high-quality preamps are found on the input channels, the same hi-voltage (48 V) power supply offers superior headroom, and the same No Negative Feedback (NNFB) structure gives a fast response and natural attack.
  • Page 4: Important Safety Information

    Unplug your mixer during lightning storms, or if it is not going to be used for a while. (Remove the plug from the mains socket to completely disconnect the mixer.) Your mixer does not contain any “user serviceable” parts. Servicing and/or repairs should only be carried out by qualified personnel. See MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR (below). MIXERS ARTHUR PRIME...

  • Page 6: Power Supplies

    ART48-PS12: Compact switching power supply provided with the mixer ART48-PS36: Optional 3.6 A high-end linear power supply ART48-PSPRO: Optional 10 A high-end linear power supply (this can power up to 3 ARTHUR PRIME mixers together) Linear power supplies better suit the noise level needed in professional environments such as recording studios, and offer an even wider dynamic range than the switching power supply.
  • Page 7: Starting The Mixer

    STARTING THE MIXER Plug the power supply’s connection cable into the ARTHUR PRIME’s DC IN connector (see page 10). ARTHUR has no on/off switch: when your mixer is not in use, its power supply should be disconnected. Note: The linear power supplies can be switched on or off using the on/off switch on the power supply itself.
  • Page 8 (interrupted.) Blue light = not depressed (bypassed). 6. 10V: This delivers the necessary 10 V supply for all SCHERTLER electrostatic pickups (STAT and BASiK Series). It enables the pickup to be directly connected to the YELLOW instrument input without using its original preamp.
  • Page 9 8. HI: This lets you tune the high range of the audio spectrum (4.5 kHz upwards) from +/- 15 dB with a slope of 18 dB / octave. The 3rd order structure “keeps” the circle of influence within the filter’s audio band so as not to overlap with the MID filters.
  • Page 10 “line level” devices might be connected to the line inputs. The AUX SENDS are the same as on the microphone input channel 3. AUX 1: Postfade, for controlling the amount of signal sent to the internal reverb and to the master section’s MIXERS ARTHUR PRIME...
  • Page 11: Line Channels

    AUX 1 OUT for the use of external effects (see Master Section, 2). 4. AUX 2: Prefade and useful for setting the amount of signal sent to a stage monitor connected to the master section’s AUX 2 OUT (see Master Section, 4). 5.
  • Page 12 MAIN LEFT/RIGHT outputs (1) and subsequently to a PA system or recording device. Note: ARTHUR PRIME has 30 dB of headroom, so its electronics and output amps are rarely likely to clip. The main purpose of these meters is to monitor the level of signal flow to successive audio devices.
  • Page 13: Master Section

    8. DECAY L and 9. REV LEFT: These controls let you regulate the reverb and its decay on the left channel. Note: Very useful if you want to set the reverb following the room acoustics, or use the effect in a more creative or unusual way.
