8MX2 is the benchmark in rack-

le, portable Mixer/Preamplifier

gy. Protégé of the famous Paragon

 xing consoles, the 1U rack space it 

makes the 8MX2 perfect for home

r compact touring applications.

 with today’s digital recording

ments in mind, the 8MX2, coupled

gital storage device, forms a fully 

integrated studio or location

corder system. On its own, the

s the response and transparency

ons.

t of the 8MX2 is a proprietary 

ic preamplifier. The high voltage

ront end complements the most 

Each 8MX2 input is fitted with an adjustable

threshold limiter which maximizes the peak 

signal input capabilities and signal integrity 

 while protecting the A/D converters in the

digital device the 8MX2 may be driving.

Gain reduction is displayed on a second

10 segment LED bargraph meter.

The 8MX2 has 8 balanced outputs that 

can directly feed the inputs of any analog

recording device as well as any digital

audio workstation, digital recorder or

digital recording console. Each channel has

a line level Multitrack return which can

monitor the outputs of a digital multitrack.

Channel or return signal can feed the 2

track Mix output located on the rear of the

chassis. A comprehensive cue system facili-

tates monitoring and metering

signal points. Audio monitorin

Clearly, the 8MX2 will be a we

addition to any audio recordin

 We invite you to audition one

esoteric of microphone selections. The

signal presented to either an A/D converter

or traditional analog console input will be

as natural as the original audio source.

The mic preamplifier has 20dB of head-

room with a maximum input level of 

+24dBm. These parameters allow dynamic

transients to be passed uninhibited. This is

paramount in maximizing the overall

benefits of recording to digital. The gain

is adjustable from +0dB to +65dB on a 

41 position detented potentiometer.

Settings therefore are easily repeated.

Input signal level is displayed on a 10segment LED bargraph meter. On the rear

panel there are individual 48V phantom and

ground lift switches for each input.

The 8MX2 can feed the inputs of 

 any analog recording device,

digital audio workstation,

recorder or recording console.

The 8MX2 contains an

unprecedented number of 

routing and mixing features

in a single rack space device.
