Gray|328 Digital Audio Mixer

969 Horsham Road lHorsham, Pennsylvania 19044 USA l Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone] [e-mail]

This ultra compact, 8 bus, 32 input capable mixer delivers
many features like EQ and dynamics with a simple user
interface. The Gray|328 is specifically designed for edit
system control in linear edit suites. The Gray|328 talks
ESAM II protocol via RS422 to any edit controller.

Master Control and Mobile Trucks are also ideal applica­tions for the Gray|328. Surround Sound monitoring is a
breeze with the 8 channel monitor section. The Gray|328
provides a built in preview switcher, and video-centric
operation is enhanced by separate rows of push buttons
indicating Program or Preset assignment of audio to stereo
faders.

Flexibility of handling multiple professional audio formats is
an important consideration. The Gray|328 will accept either
analog, AES, or SD/HD SDI. The base system also
includes 8 channels of both AES and analog output. Eight
optional channels of output are available in either analog
or AES format.

• Small Footprint – takes up less valuable edit suite

space than any other digital audio for video mixer

• Operates like a video switcher – minimizes train-

ing time with a familiar User Interface

• Program/Preset Architecture – Quickly add &

remove sources from each bus

• Shallow menu tree – most functionality is

accessed in three levels or less

• 8x8 Monitor Matrix – Fully configurable with built-

in Surround Modes & user definable setups

• Master Fader – Quickly control the level of all

eight Program bus outputs

• Keep your audio in the Digital Domain – just as

you do with the video

• Handle multiple professional audio input for-

mats – Analog with or without mic, AES with or

without SRC, SD and HD SDI

• 3 Band Parametric EQ – Adjustable, with Notch

Filters

• Dynamics – Sixteen channels of compressor, lim-

iter and expander

• Headphone Jack – Front mounted 1/4” jack with

separate output matrix and level control

• 48kHz or 96kHz Sample Rates

• Flexible Routing – Any Input to Any Output

• Output Configuration – Outputs can be config-

ured for Program, Monitor, or Meter

• Auto TO/FROM – Access all 32 Inputs with Edit

System Control

• Pan Knob on Each Stereo Fader – with easy to

find center detent

• 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 dubs

• 9 Long-throw 100 mm Faders for Smooth Fades

• 200 Memory Registers – Quickly Save/Recall

Panel Snapshots for specific sophisticated settings

• Cut & Auto Trans – Dedicated buttons for manual

or automatic transition control

• Compact Flash – For simple software updates in

the field
