CH 9 - 24 HAVE 823E149 TRANSFORMERLESS MIC PREAMP CARDS WITH FULLY VARIABLE GAIN CONTROLS. ALL 24 MODULES ARE FITTED WITH THE 82E242 "BLACK KNOB" EQ CARDS.

INPUT MODULES 25-56 ARE DUAL LINE INPUT STYLE 611 MODULES. THESE MODULES ARE FITTED WITH 82E02 "BROWN KNOB" EQ CARDS AND FEATURE THE “LINE IN TO METERS” MODIFICATION.

ALL THE I/O MODULE VCA CARDS ARE THE NEWER IMPROVED DBX 2151 "STACKED" VCA TYPE, NOT OLDER "CAN TYPE" DBX VCA MODULE. THESE OFFER LOWER DISTORTION, BETTER TRANSIENT RESPONSE AND IMAGE CLARITY.

WHY ARE THERE ONLY 24 MIC PREAMPS AND 32 DUAL LINE INPUTS? WE WERE ABLE TO SELECT THIS CONFIGURATION WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CONSOLE. I LOVED THIS SET UP. HAVING THE ABILITY TO SWITCH BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT 24 CHANNEL LINE INPUT SOURCES FOR CHANNELS 25-56 –EASILY- IS GREAT! NO NEED FOR 24 PATCH CORDS. I HAD MY 24 TRACK DECK ON LINE INPUT 1 AND MY PROTOOLS RIG ON LINE IN 2. WHO NEEDS MORE THAN 24 MIC PREAMPS ANYWAY! LINE INPUTS ARE WHAT’S NEEDED.

BLACK EQ VS BROWN EQ. THE BLACK 82E242 EQS HAVE THE HP/LP FILTERS OUT OF THE CIRCUIT WHEN THE POT ACTUATES A SWITCH AT THE END OF THE ROTATION. THE HP FILTERS HAVE AN 18 DB PER OCTAVE SLOPE. THE LP FILTERS HAVE AN 12 DB PER OCTAVE SLOPE. THE BROWN 82E02 EQS HAVE THE HP/LP FILTERS ALWAYS IN THE EQ CIRCUIT. THE FILTERS HAVE A 12 DB PER OCTAVE SLOPE. THE FILTER BUT CAN REMOVED FROM THE SIGNAL PATH BY SELECTING THE FILTER TO MON PATCH VIA THE SPLIT SWITCH. THE ALL IMPORTANT EQ PART IS THE SAME AS THE BLACK 242 DESIGN CAME FROM THE BROWN 02 EQ.
