Concentrated functionality

Rarely does an analog mixing console offer such a concentration of
functions. The Studer 928 provides a wealth of features and facilities
at a cost effective price with no compro­mise on S tuders traditional quality.
The 30 mm module architecture, the
low-current technology (no ventila­tors required) and the possibility of
integrating Studer modules from
the existing mixing console fami­lies make this unit extremly
versatile. As a consequence,
the 928 is already used in

n Up to 96 inputs
n Eight groups, four masters
n 10 AUX channels
n Direct output, also as n-1, from each input

module

n Four-band parametric equalizer
n All switches are electronic; where this is not

possible only goldplated contacts are used.

n Quality VCAs; VCA grouping with linear fad-

ers as group masters

n Studer transformers on all inputs and outputs
n Limiter/compressor, can be assigned to any

input via the insert patch panel; time con­stants are optimized according to psycho­acoustical principles.

n Studer Euro boards can be installed in a 19"

card chassis.

many studios around
the world as produc­tion or on-air console,
in radio and TV OB
vans, as a live console
in sports and concert broadcasts, or for
concert and theater PA applications. n

Reliability

For maximum reliability a redundant power
supply is available which in the event of a failure
in the primary supply allows uninterrupted
operation.

n

Patch panel

An integrated, large-capacity patch panel for
inserting external effect machines or the built-in
limiter/compressor are standard features of the
Studer 928.

Standard Modules - functional, logically designed elements

Mono Input Module

The input module provides a di ­rect output that can also be
switched to n-1. Individual talk­back on this output is possible
with the talkback key. The mono
input module feeds 8 mono group
and 2 stereo master busses.

The Mono Input Module features
two completely separate, high­quality microphone/line inputs.
Signaling and monitoring can be
switched between DJ or studio mi­crophone. The microphone input
is equipped with transformers.
Line inputs are electronically bal­anced (transformer optional).
A 48 V phantom supply can be
switched to the mic input.

The Parametric Equalizer com­prises high, low and two band
passes, with adjustable center/
corner frequencies. The Q of the
bandpass equalizer is switchable.
The high-pass filter contains a
phase inverter.

6 Mono AUX outputs are fed via
single potentiometers, 2 stereo
AUX outputs with level and
pancontrols. Each AUX path can
be derived pre or post channel
fader.

Stereo Input Module

The Stereo Input Module is equip­ped with electronically balanced,
high-level inputs (transformer op­tional) for line 1 and line 2.

The signal can be channel swapped
via the L/R key, or switched to
mono individually for each channel.

By means of a rotary control the
signal to the master output can be
varied from mono to expanded
stereo. n

Master module

The Master Module features a
limiter with adjustable threshold
and release time. The attack time
is selectable in two steps.

The master fader of the AUX paths
and the corresponding pre­listening keys are also arranged on
the master module.

Each of the two stereo master mod­ules is equipped with a separately
controllable mono output which
can be derived before or after the
output fader. n

Monitoring, Talkback

The Monitoring Module has a
source selector for internal and
external sources, as well as selec­tors for listening via headphones,
monitor speakers, or near -field
monitors. The cue signal can be
derived either pre channel fader
of the selected input module or
post (solo function without influ­ence on the mixdown).

The Talkback Module consists of
a test generator, talkback control
and studio monitoring control.
Talkback can be routed to all AUX
paths, groups, as well as masters
and also into the studio and to ex­ternal lines. Communication to
the direct (n-1) outputs of indi­vidual inputs can be preselected
directly in the corresponding in­put modules. The volume for the
studio can be adjusted individu­ally for two headphone sets as
well as for the studio speaker. T wo
user-assignable keys are available
for signaling.

Both units are equipped with
two linear faders each which act
as VCA group faders. n

The Pancontrol is connected di­rectly to the stereo master output.
The panselection can be enabled/
disabled, also by remote control.

The Main Fader is a Penny & Giles
(100 mm) linear fader; it controls
a high-quality VCA. Up to four
VCA groups can be defined. The
master faders for these groups are
located in the CR and studio moni­tor modules. Fader start is
selectable as pulse or hold func­tion. CUE can be derived pre or
post fader. A small LED bargraph
will display the level before or af­ter the equalizer or the level of the
direct (n-1) output. n

Group module

The Group Module is equipped
with an additional stereo return
with level and pan control and
prelistening output. High-level
stereo sources can be routed di­rectly into the master channels.

In each group module a limiter/
compressor unit is installed. This
can be inserted directly into the
group or assigned to any input via
the integrated insert patch panel.
