Architects’ & Engineers’ Specifications:

The automatic microphone mixer shall have four elec-
tronically balanced, low noise microphone/line inputs.
Each input shall have its own gain control. Input 1 and
2 shall each have the patented Priority Control
Circuitry with a priority assign and individual front
panel mute controls. Each channel shall have individ-
ual line level inserts with enable/bypass switch. Forty-
eight Volt phantom power shall be available on all
channels and be switched on inputs 1 and 2. A secu-

rity cover is included, protecting the main controls on
the front panel with marking zones for each input. The
master section shall be equipped with gain manage-
ment computer logic for seamless operation. There
shall be a balanced mic or line master output with
switch. In addition, there is a master, unbalanced aux-
iliary output. There is a master/ slave linking connec-
tion and switch on the back panel for connection to
additional AM-411 units, and also the AM-811 as well
as the MM 623 mixer. All audio connections shall be

made with removable “euro” type connectors.

The

mixer shall have a frequency response of 75 Hz to 20
kHz +/- 1 dB. It shall have an EIN of -128 dBu and the
total harmonic distortion shall be less than 0.1% at +4
dBu (22 Hz to 22 kHz BPF). The maximum line output
level shall be +21 dBu (hi-Z load), +18 dBu (600 load).
The unit shall be packaged in a rugged metal chassis
19” wide by 1.75” high by 9.38” deep. The unit shall
operate from 120 VAC, 60 Hz domestic and from 230V
AC, 50/60 Hz export.
