AUX Send Masters
The IM8 console master section provides individual linear
AUX send master faders for each of the eight AUX buses.
These smooth linear faders make the IM8 consoles ideal
choices for monitor mixing as well as front-of-house operation,
affording precise fader positioning with visual feedback for
perfectly balanced monitor mixes. Each AUX send master
fader has a 3-segment level meter for visual level confirmation,
and an AFL switch with indicator for convenient AUX signal
monitoring. Insert patch points are provided before the AUX
send faders, and the AUX send outputs on the rear panel are
balanced XLR types.
Four Stereo AUX Returns
Four stereo AUX returns are ideal for returning signals from
external effects such as reverb and delay to the console. In addition
to assign switches that allow the returned signals to be assigned to
group bus pairs 1-2 through 7-8, rotary AUX 1 through AUX 4
controls can be used to send the retuned signals to the
corresponding AUX buses at the specified level. Of course there’s a
master return level control for each of the four stereo returns, as
well as PFL switches with indicators for easy pre-fader monitoring.
Matrix Out
The IM8 series consoles feature four matrix outputs that can be fed
signals from all eight of the group busses as well as the stereo and
mono bus. Individual level controls for each source bus are provided
for each of the four matrix outputs, along with a master matrix level
control and AFL switch for local signal monitoring. The matrix is a
convenient and configurable system for providing additional output
mixes for any number of utility applications: extra monitors,
dressing room feeds, lobby sound, and more.
Mute Masters
These four switches instantly mute or un-mute all channels on
which the correspondingly numbered MUTE switches are
engaged. This allows you to set up as many as four different
channel mute configurations and engage or disengage them
Master Control Section
instantly as required. This is a great way to handle multiple
bands, for example, or to shut down specific groups of
microphones when they’re not being used.
Talkback Section
In addition to a rear-panel mounted microphone connector and
the standard ON switch and level control in the master section,
the IM8 series consoles offer versatile talkback routing with eight
switches that assign the talkback signal to individual AUX bus
pairs (1-2, 3-4. 5-6, and 7-8), all group buses, the stereo and
mono buses, or any of two matrix output pairs (1-2, 3-4).
Monitor Section
Any time you press an AFL (after-fader listen) or PFL (pre-fader
listen) switch anywhere on the console the corresponding signal is
sent to the rear-panel monitor outputs as well as the headphone
output. At the same time the PFL or AFL indicator in the monitor
section will light to indicate that one or more AFL/PFL switches are
active. The indicators associated with each AFL and PFL switch let
you see which ones are active at a glance. The monitor section also
features level controls for the monitor and headphone outputs, and a
precise 12-segment level meter.
Stereo and Mono Masters
Balanced XLR type output jacks on the rear panel deliver the
console’s stereo output, and the level of the signal appearing at
these outputs is controlled via the L and R stereo master
faders. An ON switch turns stereo output on or off, and a
precise 12-segment level meter with peak indicators shows
stereo signal levels. The stereo master faders have PFL as well
as AFL switches, allowing both pre-fader and after-fader
monitoring of the stereo bus signal. The mono bus output is
also delivered via a balanced rear-panel XLR type connector,
and the level is adjusted via an independent master mono
fader with ON switch, 3-segment level indicator, and AFL
switch/indicator. Both the stereo and mono buses also feature
pre-fader insert patch points on the rear panel.
Group Outputs
All eight group buses feature full-length faders for precise level
control, as well as 3-segment level indicators for convenient visual
level monitoring. In addition to being output from the
corresponding balanced TRS phone jacks on the real panel, the
group bus signals can be assigned to the console’s stereo and/or
mono buses via assign switches located next to the faders. A pan
control provides panning capability when a group bus signal is
assigned to the stereo bus. AFL switches and indicators are also
provided for each group fader. Group jacks provided on the rear
panel provide pre-fader insert access to the group signal path.
2TR IN/USB and
REC OUT/USB Sections
The IM8 consoles feature 2-track input and stereo record output
facilities in both analog and digital formats. Analog 2-track input
can be connected to the console via the rear-panel stereo pin jacks
or a stereo mini-phone jack on the front panel. Assign switches
allow the received 2-track signal to be sent to the stereo and/or
mono buses, while a rotary control adjusts the signal level. A PFL
switch and indicator are also provided for easy monitoring of the
2-track signal. Conversely, the signal from the stereo and/or mono
buses can be assigned to a pair of pin-jack record outputs on the
rear panel for connection to an external 2-track recording or
similar device. The functions of the 2-track inputs and record
outputs are duplicated by a USB terminal that can be used to
transfer the corresponding digital audio signals to and/or from a
computer running the supplied Cubase AI4 audio workstation
software for direct digital recording from the console or playback
via the console.
Front-panel Stereo
Mini Phone Jack Input
A stereo mini phone jack on the console’s front panel provides a
conveniently located input for a portable audio player or similar
device used to supply BGM, sound effects, or any other audio signal
to be fed to the console’s 2TR IN channel.
