Features

Description

• Optimized for "In Ear" monitor systems, capable of generating up
to 6 stereo mixes (each input channel with individual
level and pan controls) or up to 12 mono mixes. May be
used as a stereo or mono monitor mixer or a combina­tion of both, or a matrix mixer or for front-of-house appli­cations.

• 12 Mono inputs Plus 4 Stereo mic/line inputs (20 total), all with
Mic pre amps and individual (per channel) 48 Volt
Phantom Power Switches.

• Built in splitter system on all 20 XLR mic/line inputs with ground
lift switches on each input channel.

• Additional common stereo inputs on XLR and 1/4" connectors for
use with click or Reference track sends to artists

• Four-band mid sweep EQ on mono and stereo input channels.

• 18dB per octave high pass filter on mono input channels

• 12 fully balanced XLR outputs and XLR balanced bus inputs.

• Solo link system compatible with other XR Series Rack mixers.

• 10 Space Rack mount configuration.

• Designed and Manufactured in the USA.

Designed for use in today’s demanding "In Ear" monitoring envi­ronments, XRM provides the artist with maximum control of
their personalized mix. Separate level and pan controls are
available from all 16 input channels (20 inputs) for up to 6 stereo
mixes. Front panel switches allow for easy reconfiguration of
any output pair to separate mono operation, with input channel
pan controls reverting back to even channel level controls. Up to
12 mono mixes may be generated.

For additional inputs, the console easily can be linked with a
second XRM for a total of 40 inputs. Standard XLR cables are
used to link the audio buses, a 5-pin din cable links the solo sys­tems.

Crest Audio’s console engineering group has drawn from
decades of large and medium-format console design to create
a compact, feature filled rack mount mixer that can be used as
a stereo or mono output mixer in monitor, matrix or front-of­house applications. X-Rack mixers exceed what all other rack
mount mixers offer in terms of quality, reliability, construction
and flexibility, regardless of price. AES suggested grounding
procedures are followed, resulting in excellent rejection of RF
interference and ground related noise. All X-Rack mixers exhib­it less than +/-30 degrees of input to output phase shift (signal
smear), which is significantly better than most other consoles.
XLR connectors are used on all primary inputs and outputs
including the splitter system, making it easy to interface with
most professional audio gear.

As with all Crest Audio’s mixing consoles, top quality compo­nents and advanced manufacturing techniques are used
throughout, guaranteeing years of trouble-free service.
