Crest Displays The XR-20 And XR-24 Rack-Mount Mixers - The Most Flexble, Powerful Mixers Of Their Size Ever PRESS RELEASE
The secret to the XR-20's enormous flexibility is the number of features that Crest has packed into the mixer and the high degree of quality and reliability engineered into its design. These features include a combination of 12 mono and four stereo inputs (a total of 20 inputs), all with mic preamps and switched 48-volt phantom power capability. Each input channel offers four-band EQ with 18 dB-per-octave high-pass filters on the mono input channels. Additionally, recording/studio-type features are included, such as insert points on all inputs, subgroups, aux outs and left, right and mono outputs. There are six aux buses, which are selectable pre- or post-fader in pairs. The XR-20's main outputs use XLR-type jacks and are switchable between mic and line. Crest's design team added a level of quality not seen before on small rack-mount mixers. The X-Rack Series engineering includes grounding design conforming to AES specifications resulting in optimum rejection of RF and ground-related noise. The X-Rack Series mixers exhibit less than +/- 30 degrees of input-to-output phase shift - again, the kind of engineering quality generally reserved for only the most expensive studio consoles. One unique innovation is the fact that these consoles are built on the front panel (utilizing individual circuit boards), which allows the back panel to be removed, easily exposing each module should repair be necessary. The XR-24 includes the same features as the XR-20 in a new, more
production-oriented package featuring eight Mono and eight Stereo
input channels - all feature mic preamps with 48V phantom power.
This provides the flexibility for mixing eight stereo devices in
with eight mono mic or line level signals. |
