The Blue|328 is a versatile digital audio mixer developed by
Renegade Labs to specifically address the audio needs of
video professionals. This very compact, eight bus, 32 input
capable mixer delivers a wealth of features including EQ and
dynamics with a simple user interface. NLE edit suites,
Telecine bays, Mobile Trucks, and similar applications benefit
greatly from the capabilities provided by the
Blue|328.

Surround Sound monitoring is a breeze with the 8-channel
monitor section. These extensive monitoring capabilities
include standard mono, 2-channel, 4-channel, 8-channel, 3
pre-set Surround modes, plus the ability to save and recall
user defined monitor setups, specific to an application or ses­sion.

Providing the flexibility to handle multiple professional audio
formats is an important consideration. The Blue|328 will
accept either Analog, AES, or SD/HD SDI De-embedder. The
base system includes 8-channels of both AES and Analog
output. Eight optional channels of output are also available in
either SD/HD SDI Embedder, Analog, AES format.

• Small Footprint – takes up less valuable edit suite
space than any other digital audio for video mixer

• Loudness Monitoring – included as standard fea­ture using ITU-R BS.1770-2 gated algorithm

• 48kHz, 96k, or 192Hz Sample Rates

• Flexible Routing – Any Input to Any Output

• Digital Audio Delay – Allows for accurate correction

of lip sync errors

• Master Monitor Volume Knob – with easy to read
LED Unity indicator

• Unity Indicator on Each Fader – Instantly KNOW
your audio level is at Unity for Clean Feed, or for cre­ating dubs

• 200 Memory Registers – Quickly Save/Recall Panel
Snapshots

• Register Naming – Allows each memory register to
have a unique name for easy identification

• 8x8 Monitor Matrix – Fully configurable with built-in
Surround Modes & user definable setups

• Headphone Jack – Front mounted 1/4” jack with
separate output matrix and level control

• Keep your audio in the Digital Domain – just as
you do with the video

• Handle multiple professional audio input formats

– Analog with or without mic, AES with or without
SRC, SD/HD SDI De-embedder

• AES and Analog Outputs Standard – 8-channels
each for surround and multi-lingual production

• Master Fader – Quickly control the level of all eight
Program bus outputs

• Optional Output Module Slot – 8-channels available
in Analog, AES Digital or SD/HD SDI Embedder

• Dynamics – Sixteen channels of compressor, limiter,
and expander

• 3 Band Parametric EQ – Adjustable, with Notch
Filters

• Output Configuration – Outputs can be configured
for Program, Monitor, or Meter

• Compact Flash – For simple software updates in the
field

• Record Returns – Designate inputs as record
returns for monitoring conformance without using
faders

• 9 Long-throw 100mm Faders for Smooth Fades

• Pan Knob on Each Stereo Fader – with center

detent

• SD/HD Video and AES sync – Mixer can sync to
either video (NTSC/PAL/HDTV) or AES inputs for
synchronizing the audio to the video
