THIS IS AN AWESOME MIXER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU NEED TO RUN A LOT OF ROUTING OPTIONS WITHOUT GETTING INTO MONITOR BOARDS AND THE LIKE.
40 CHANNEL INPUT, 16 OUTS, 8 VCA, READ THE SPECS BELOW FOR THE WHOLE BREAKDOWN.
40 MONAURAL AND 4 STEREO (THE M3000-24
PROVIDES 24 MONAURAL AND 4 STEREO). STEREO OUTPUT, 16
MIX OUTPUTS, AND 8 MATRIX OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED IN
ADDITION. THE M3000 IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN A WIDE
RANGE OF APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS THE MAIN MIXER FOR
SOUND REINFORCEMENT, AS A MONITOR MIXER, OR IN BUILDING
INSTALLATIONS.
• THE GA DIVERSITY FUNCTION ALLOWS EACH PAIR OF MIX
BUSES 1/2–7/8 TO BE SWITCHED BETWEEN GROUP BUS
(FIXED OUTPUT LEVEL FROM THE INPUT CHANNELS) AND AUX
BUS (VARIABLE OUTPUT LEVEL FROM THE INPUT CHANNELS).
BUS CONFIGURATION CAN BE SET UP AS NEEDED.
• THE SCENE MEMORY FUNCTION ALLOWS THE ON/OFF STATUS
OF THE MONO/STEREO INPUT CHANNELS, MIX OUT 1–16,
AND STEREO A OUT TO BE SAVED AS ONE OF 128
“SCENES.” SCENES CAN BE SELECTED FROM THE FRONT PANEL,
OR BY MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES FROM AN EXTERNAL
DEVICE. IN ADDITION, MIDI CONTROL CHANGE MESSAGES
TRANSMITTED FROM AN EXTERNAL DEVICE CAN BE USED
TO SWITCH THE INDIVIDUAL ON/OFF STATUS OF INPUT CHANNELS
OR BUS OUTPUTS CHANNELS.
• BY MODIFYING INTERNAL SETTINGS, SCENE MEMORY NUMBERS
1–8 CAN BE USED AS MUTE GROUPS. IN THIS CASE, UP
TO EIGHT MUTE (ON/OFF) SETTINGS CAN BE ADDED/DEFEATED
INDIVIDUALLY.
• EIGHT VCA MASTER FADERS ALLOW THE GAIN OF MULTIPLE
INPUT CHANNELS TO BE CONTROLLED AS A GROUP. BY GROUPING
THE DESIRED INPUT CHANNELS AND ASSIGNING THEM TO A
VCA MASTER FADER, YOU CAN ADJUST THE MIX AS APPROPRIATE
FOR THE ON-STATE ACTION USING THE VCA MASTER FADERS
ALONE.
• THE MONO INPUT CHANNELS PROVIDE A 26 DB PAD, HPF,
PHASE SWITCH, FOUR-BAND PARAMETRIC EQ, AND 100 MM
FULL STROKE FADERS AS WELL AS DIRECT OUT JACKS. PHANTOM
POWER IS ALSO PROVIDED, AND CAN BE SWITCHED ON/
OFF INDIVIDUALLY.
• THE M3000-40C FEATURES A CENTER MASTER DESIGN THAT
PLACES THE MASTER SECTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIXER
FOR SUPERIOR OPERABILITY.
• ALL INPUT CHANNELS PROVIDE A PFL SWITCH, AND AN AFL
SWITCH IS PROVIDED FOR MATRIX OUT 1–8/MIX OUT
1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT. THIS MAKES IT
EASY TO CHECK YOUR INPUT/OUTPUT SOURCES.
• EIGHT INDEPENDENT MATRICES ARE PROVIDED. THE SIGNALS
FROM MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT AND DEDICATED
INPUT JACKS CAN BE MIXED AT THE DESIRED LEVELS, AND OUTPUT
FROM MATRIX OUT JACKS 1–8. THIS CAPABILITY CAN
BE USED FOR FOLDBACK OR AS A MIX FOR INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS/
AMPS.
• ALL MONO INPUT CHANNELS, STEREO BUSES, AND MIX BUSES
PROVIDE AN INSERT I/O JACK. EXTERNAL EFFECT PROCESSORS
CAN BE INSERTED AS NECESSARY.
• THE TALKBACK SIGNAL AND TEST TONE OSCILLATORS CAN BE
SENT TO ANY OF THE MIX BUSES 1-2–13/16 OR THE STEREO
BUSES.
• AS MONITOR SOURCES FOR THE MONITOR OUTPUT, YOU CAN
SELECT (IN ADDITION TO STEREO A OUT), PFL FROM THE
INPUT CHANNELS, AFL/PFL FROM MATRIX OUT 1–8/
MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT, OR
2TR IN 1/2.

EXTRAS: SALE COMES WITH THE BOARD THAT IS IN NEAR NEW LOOKING CONDITION, ROADCASE WITH DOG HOUSE, POWER SUPPLY IN SHOCKMOUNTED CASE AND POWER CORDS. THAT IS EVERYTHING, NO LIGHTS, CABLES, ETC., JUST POWER. A FEW SCRATCHES ON THE CASES, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE FOR. THE DOGHOUSE HAS A FEW SMALL CRACKS IN THE WOOD, BUT SHOULD BE EASY TO REPAIR. THE BOARD ITSELF LOOKS LIKE NEW.

MODIFICATIONS: THIS MIXER IS VERY CLOSE TO NEW SHAPE, ALL CHANNELS ARE CLEAN AND WORKING PROPERLY, IN FACT, CHANNELS 25-40 HAVE PROBABLY NOT BEEN USED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIME.

HISTORY: THIS WAS MOSTLY USED FOR THEATER GIGS, ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH FOR A YEAR OR SO. VERY LIGHT USE IN THE THEATER, WHICH IS LOCATED IN A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, SO YOU KNOW IT WASN'T GETTTING A REAL SPL WORKOUT! OTHER THAN THAT, JUST A FEW SMALL SHOWS AND IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

COMMENTS: SLIGHT SCRATCHES AND A FEW DINGS ON THE CASE AND DOGHOUSE, THE BOARD IS CLEAN AS A WHISTLE THOUGH. I HAVE NOT EXAMINED WITH A MICROSCOPE, BUT IT DOES LOOK CLOSE TO NEW.
