powder coat paint is then baked on in an oven. Powder coating chosen for its
durability and environmental friendly characteristics.
All silk-screening is printed sub-surface (below) a hardface lexan tm overlay.
This process provides a silk-screened label that is virtually wear proof. The
lettering will not wear off as on other mixers.

ELECTRONIC TOPOLOGY

The new M3 audio mixer was designed from a clean sheet of paper. It utilizes
completely new circuitry designs based upon the latest advances in semi
conductor technology.
reduced size and weight.
The M3 Mixer uses high quality transformers on its inputs and outputs.
Transformer topology was chosen for its inherent ability to reject RF, thus making
this new mixer perfect for use with multiple RF systems.
This new design uses modern semi-conductors from Maxim, Linear Technology
National Semiconductor and Burr-Brown to name but a few. These operational
amplifiers, voltage regulators and precision voltage references feature low power
consumption, low noise and low distortion. The also feature ability to swing from
rail to rail resulting in an energy efficient design.

ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATION

Your new M3 Audio Mixer has been designed to operate under extreme field
conditions. The electronics have been designed to operate over a temperature
range of -4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 to +70C) less the affects on batteries.
This in addition to the M3's ability to operate under high humidity conditions
makes it perfect for harsh field conditions.
