ALACHUA, FL – Sabine’s Navigator line of System Processors is growing again.  Navigators are now available with Microphone Preamps, giving the user either mic or line inputs on all version of Navigators.  The new Preamps will also provide phantom power.

“Our customers have embraced the Navigators for their great sound quality, and these new mic preamps were engineered to maintain that same pristine audio quality,” states Sabine Marketing Director Rob Rothschild.  “These preamps are transparent and they let the sound of your microphone shine through the mix.”

Switching between mic and line level is done using a switch on the Navigator NAV240, NAV360, and NAV480.  On the high-end, 96 KHz units – the NAV4802 and NAV8802 – switching can be done using the remote control software.

For elegant, trouble-free end-user control, the new optional wall panel remotes (NAVRC-100) can be added to an installation. The attractive, brushed aluminum 2-gang remote controls have a built-in LCD that displays user-assigned presets. Each NAVRC-100 is capable of controlling up to 8 Navigators, and each Navigator can be addressed and controlled by up to 8 NAVRC-100 wall-panels.  This makes for a very powerful control system, and allows for multiple control points for multiple Navigators, all of which can be mounted strategically throughout the installation. 

Sabine is also providing customers with blank front panel versions of each of the Navigators.  These S-series Navigators provide the same functions as the front-panel control versions, and they will have the ability for an expanded feature-set – beyond that of the standard versions. These blank front Navigators are well-suited for the installation market, and provide a significant cost savings over the front-panel control versions.
