Area 5.1 Model 2047

The Area 5.1 is a 5.1 surround

microphone preamplifier featu­ring five matched high precision

Area 5.1

gain stage preamplifiers with
motorized master/slave mic gain
controls,a Sub/LFE stage to deter­mine the composition of the sub
signal and stereo downmix stages
for each channel. A monitor stage
allows on-location monitoring
with stereo headphones.

The complete Area 5.1 system
contains the Area 5.1 unit and the
both optionally available SPL MA 5
mic array and multicore lead.
Though the Area 5.1 preamplifier
could be used with any micropho­ne setup, the combination with
the MA 5 is recommended. This
setup has proven in various live
and studio situations to be per­fect in capturing the 5.1 sound
image of a preferred ”listener’s
position“, while its versatility is
exceeded only by its ease of use.

If for example, an eight-track
DTRS is employed, the first five
tracks can be used for the L, C, R,
SL and SR channels, the sub bass
signal should be routed to the
6th track while track 7 and 8 can
be used to record the stereo mix­down.
