Trident 68
Introduction & Specifications
The Series 68 analog consoles have been developed to deliver the core feature set most often needed for analog recording.
The 68’s are Split/lnline consoles with individual channels in 8-way panels. Using an 8 subgroup configuration and incorporating
6 Aux sends, its routing options are vast and simple to use. Connections are fast and easy with DB-25’s throughout the
board and XLR’s for Master and Main outputs. With a flexible yet powerful 3 band EQ at its core, including selectable channel
inserts and monolithic preamps driving the inputs, the Series 68 consoles offer a wide array of summing and mixing options.
The sonic quality and compact footprint of the 68’s are able to meet any demand.
