The S83 Mixer Amplifier combines a monophonic
8-input mic/line mixer with a dedicated power amp
producing 300 watts into 4 ohms. Portable or easily
installed into a rack, the S83 takes up only 4 spaces
with the optional rack ears included. Equipped with 4-
band equalization on each channel and a 10-band
graphic EQ on the main output, the S83 is an ideal all-
in-one device for recording, live concert and contract-
ing applications. It also features 8 electronically bal-
anced mic/line inputs (XLR-type and 1/4" connectors),
a CD/tape input (phono connectors), switchable 48
volts phantom power, internal reverb, 2 Aux sends
and 4 Aux returns, along with amp in and preamp and
monitor out patch points.
