effects algorithms selectable by a detented knob. Effects
shall include 9 Reverb types: Spring, Small Room, Medium
Plate, Large Plate, Medium Hall, Large Hall, Cathedral,
Gated, and Reverse. Effects shall also include 4 Delay
Types: Delay 1 providing one repeat, Delay 2 providing
two repeats, Delay 3 providing three repeats, and Delay 4
providing four repeats. Effects shall also include 1 Chorus,
1 Flange, and 1 Phaser. Two rotary parameter knobs shall
provide control over Time/Rate and Damping/Depth. The
EMAC shall include 1 EFX WIDE button providing more
width or depth to the effect, and 1 Bypass button that
mutes the effect’s output signal. The EMAC shall also
include 1 EFX 2 Send rotary knob providing up to 15 dB of
gain above unity, and control of the dry signal being sent
to the input of the EMAC, and 1 To Main Mix rotary knob
providing up to 15 dB of gain above unity and control over
signals sent from Stereo EFX Return 2. The EMAC shall also
include 2 Effects To Monitor rotary knobs labeled Aux 1 &
Aux 2 providing up to 15 dB of gain above unity and con-
trol over signals sent from Stereo EFX Return 2 and being
sent to Aux Sends 1 & 2 and a Clip LED that indicates
when the EMAC is 6 dB below clipping.
7. METERING.
The mixer shall include 1 stereo 12-seg-
ment LED meter with points at –30, –20, –10, –7, –4, –2,
0, +2, +4, +7, +10, and +22 dB. The source signals for the
meters shall be the same signals selected in the Left/Right
Sub Assign, and a solo condition shall replace the Sub
Assign selection with the soloed channel(s). The meters
shall be calibrated so that a 0 dBu signal at the Phones
output shall be indicated as 0 dB on the meters.
8. PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION.
The mixer shall be made
of steel and aluminum, painted dark gray and black with
light gray graphics. The CFX12 shall weigh 17 lbs, 8 oz.
(8.1 kg); the CFX16 shall weigh 21 lbs, 0 oz. (9.5 kg); and
the CFX20 shall weigh 24 lbs, 3 oz. (11.0 kg). Optional
rackmount brackets shall allow the CFX12 to be mounted
in a rack system with the chassis surface flush with the
rack rail. The CFX16 and CFX20 are not rackmountable.
Dimensions of the CFX12 shall be 17.2" (437 mm) in
width, 15.7" (399 mm) in depth, and 5.0" (127 mm) in
