DATA SHEET
MODEL M268
MICROPHONE MIXER
Wide, flat frequency response and extremely low
distortion at full output

impedance unbalanced inputs
High-level auxiliary input for tape, tuner and
accessories
Individual feedback-type active gain controls for all
five inputs
Master volume control sets overall output level
Phantom power for condenser microphones
High- (unbalanced) and low-impedance (balanced)
microphone-level output matches most amplifier
inputs
High-impedance auxiliary outputs for high-level
equipment inputs
Direct mix bus for simple mixer interconnection
("stacking")
