mode) and L/R and Mono masters for maximum control of complex mixes.

Four band sweep able EQ with Q control on the mids and a variable High

Pass Filter are provided on all mono inputs. 12 auxiliary sends and 8 sub

groups are standard on all CV 20 models with fader reverse functionality for

easy use as a monitor console.

CV 20 consoles are supplied with either 24, 32, 40, 48 or 56 mono input

channels, plus 8 full stereo input channels. Basic configurations for all

consoles included 12 auxes, 8 subgroups, Left/Right/Center/Mono with full

metering. Also provided is an 11x4 matrix, full dynamics which can be either

routed to the subgroup and L/R/M buses or auxiliary masters, true LCR

panning on mono inputs and subgroups and full metering on all main outputs

(Auxes, Subgroups, L/R/M buses). CV 20 also comes stock with a total of

16 mute groups, 136 mute scenes and 128 VCA assignment scenes. One

Internal Field replaceable, power factor corrected, universal power supply
