MARC-15

Modular Advanced Radio Console (MARC)

The MARC-15 modular analog console comes in a single 15 channel mainframe size with a wide variety of input and option module
configurations. The console supports two phone modules for use with external hybrids. All switches are LED illuminated and ICs
are socketed (not surface mount) for reliability. Machine source control is by isolated reed relays. The meter panel hinges up
and back for access to I/O connectors and input trimpots. All I/O is by RJ45 connectors and ten foot wiring is supplied with
RJ45 at one end and unterminated at the other end (an expensive option in competing products). The MARC-15 is a very low pro-
file, attractive, tabletop design that is flexible, easy to install, reliable, and ideal for any on air or production Radio application.

Three stereo Program output mixes (with mono mixdowns) plus Monitor, Headphone, and Cue systems

15 channel modular mainframe supports many types of input modules (all with LED illumination)

High performance mic modules with 48V phantom power (A/B inputs), (turret control logic & tally for ‘A’ inputs)

Balanced, stereo line level input modules (A/B inputs), (isolated relay source logic for ‘A’ inputs)

Powerful Phone module with hybrid control logic (mainframe supports two phone modules)

USB soundcard input module for playing and recording directly in digital from a Windows PC (one per PC)

Optional Studio Monitor module for Talk studios

Real VU meters monitor all three Output buses

Cue-talkback system with built-in amplifier and speaker

Built-in Timer with manual and automated control

All I/O is by RJ45 connectors and ten foot wiring is supplied with RJ45 at one end and unterminated at the other end

Optional 16 x 3 stereo switcher for remote input select... handles large studio jobs
