Foreword I am pleased to present the StudioComm series of products. As both president and owner of Studio Technologies, I take a very personal approach when designing products. Getting older has increased my appreciation of the more subtle things in life—be they a part of nature or the nuances contained in a well-designed piece of electronic equipment.
Model 61 Control Console, are members of the StudioComm The Model 60 Central Controller and the family of products. The Models 60 and 61 Model 61 Control Console work together are specifically designed to work in con-...

Configuration The Model 60 is internally configured to operate from either 100, 120, or 220/240V, Once the Model 60 and Model 61 have 50/60Hz. In most cases, units shipped to been installed, the only configuration issue North America are factory selected for you need to address is input sensitivity.
