For the Installation Contractor, accurately mixing line level audio signals has never been easy. Using the wrong product can lead to lack of headroom, vastly differing input levels, uneven output levels, RF breakthrough - the problems have been seemingly endless.
Until now, that is!
The Solution
Introducing the MaxiMIX from ARX: Two independent mixdown groups, each consisting of 4 line inputs with individual level controls and RF filters. Both groups can be linked for a Mono 8 channel mix.
Each input has up to +6dB of gain available, and full attenuation to allow matching of any line level signals.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
In Stereo mode, each of the 4 electronically balanced inputs combine into fully balanced Master outputs, each of which has 2 male XLR sockets. In Mono mode all Eight inputs mix down to a single linked pair of Master outputs
Wide Dynamic Range
Internally, careful attention to the signal path design has resulted in a unit with wide dynamic range, enough headroom to cope with the hottest line signal, and better than digital noise specifications
Universal AC Power
AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to the unit via a standard three pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch.
Applications
A typical MaxiMIX application would be as an Installation Master Mixer, combining Live Band Mix, Disco, KTV and Audio-for-Video signals. In this way they can all run independently of each other through the one speaker system.
Other applications include using it as a line sub-mixer for external effects units, and as a Keyboards, Drum machines or other Electronic Instruments sub-mixer.
Accurate and compact, the MaxiMIX's unique combination of ultra low distortion, low noise and high headroom makes it the ideal installation line mixer.
