The console consists of nine input channels:
t
4 x mono balanced XLR mic/stereo unbalanced RCA phono line inputs.
t
4 x dual stereo unbalanced RCA phono line inputs.
t 1 x telephone balance unit (with line and handset ports)/stereo unbalanced RCA phono
auxiliary input with a parallel 3.5mm stereo jack input on the front panel.
Providing in total 4 mic, 12 stereo line, 1 TBU & 1 stereo auxiliary inputs which you can
switch between.
Input Channels
Input source buttons at the top of each channel strip are used to select the required mono
or stereo source. The mixer has two main stereo buses, PGM (Program) and REC (Record), so
each channel also has PGM and REC buttons to independently select which mixer bus the
selected input is routed to.
The XLR microphone inputs on channels 1 to 4 have individually sele48V phantom
power and a gain calibration potentiometer providing up to 65dB of gain for the pre-amp.
Input channel 1 also serves as the microphone input for a dedicated talkback channel.
The stereo RCA phono line inputs on channels 1 to 8 have 10dB of gain at the input to
compensate for unbalanced consumer inputs.
Input channel 9 is a TBU and stereo auxiliary input channel. The TBU allows direct
connection to a telephone line and allows calls to be made and received through the mixer
using the handset connection. The auxiliary channel can switch between 2 independent
inputs, one on the rear panel and one on the front panel.
Any channel which has the fader up is routed to the selected output, either PGM or REC or
both.
Gain for each channel is trimmed by the front panel TRIM control providing ±15dB of gain. A
PAN/BAL(ance) control is available to facilitate stereo imaging.
The use of VCAs controlled by the ALPS long throw 100mm faders gives a smooth,
repeatable response and ensures tight stereo tracking while eliminating mechanical and
electronic noise.
USB Audio for Playback & Recording
The S0 has the option to send and receive audio over USB. This allows the audio on the REC
bus to be sent to a PC for recording or monitoring purposes. Also, the S0 can receive a USB
audio stream from a PC and route it to the auxiliary inputs on channel 8. Alternatively, this
signal can be routed to channels 5, 6 or 7 if required.
