enables the user to select from a wide
range of metering options. The console
can be specified with SSL's own LMS16 16 x 5.1-channel loudness and true
peak monitoring. The control surface
has been redesigned to facilitate
clearer channel identification in a
wider range of lighting conditions.
Tascam's
DM-3200
incorporates 32 input channels
and 16 returns at 96 kHz
sample rate and 24-bit
resolution. It has fourband

channel plus two
effects processors.
Surround
mixing
is
available with up to 6.1-channel
panning. An optional IF-SM/DM
expansion card adds surround sound
monitoring and down-mixing. The DM3200 provides a new way to record
with DAW recording software. With
the addition of an optional expansion
card, the IF-FW/DM FireWire interface,
the DM-3200 becomes a 24-channel
computer audio interface. Built-in
HUI and Mackie control emulation
allows the console to function as a
flexible control surface for workstation
software.

Wheatstone's AIR-1 is claimed to
provide a wide range of broadcast
production features at a fraction of
the cost of larger consoles. It accepts
two mono microphone inputs and six
stereo inputs that can be routed to
one or both of the console's stereo
outputs. Bottom-mounted dip switches
are included for easy programming.
A USB audio port provides access for
a computer or automation system to
send and receive console audio.
Yamaha's RPM10 digital mixing
console includes the CS-R10 control
surface, DSP-R10 processor, RPio622
input/output rack and a choice of plugin cards. The channel EQ and dynamics
have been upgraded with three newly
developed algorithms. Q parameters
on the low and high shelving filters
allow filter overshoot to be flexibly
controlled for added musical impact.
The control surface and processor are
connected via a dedicated Cat-5e ring
network.
The DSP engine connects to the
RPio622 I/O racks via a multi-mode
optical fibre which can handle up
to 400 96 kHz audio channels over
distances of up to 300 metres. Up to
two DSP-R10 DSP engines and eight
RPio622 I/O racks can be connected in
a single ring.
