Kramer Electronics has announced the introduction of the 910 digital audio preamplifier and mixer that accepts balanced and unbalanced stereo audio, S/PDIF digital audio, and a microphone input. It then processes the signals and outputs them to balanced, unbalanced and S/PDIF outputs.
The 910 is intended for professional audio applications, sound studios, boardrooms, classrooms, and training rooms.
The 910 has 4 inputs; 1 unbalanced stereo audio input and 1 S/PDIF input on RCA connectors, 1 balanced stereo audio input on a 5-pin terminal block, and 1 mono balanced microphone input on an XLR (F) connector.
The microphone input has a switch to choose between a condenser or dynamic mic input (it provides 15V phantom power when the MIC switch is set for a condenser microphone). These inputs can be selected individually or at the same time when using the talk over, mix, or override modes.
The 910 has 1 unbalanced stereo audio output and 1 S/PDIF output on RCA connectors, and 1 balanced stereo audio output on a 5-pin terminal block. All outputs are live at the same time.
The 910 features various audio controls, including volume, balance, bass, mid, treble, loudness, 7-band equalizer, delay, mute, expand and compress.
The 910 is outfitted with a 24-character by 2-line LCD display, and can be controlled using the front panel buttons as well as remotely by RS-232 serial commands (with the included Windows-based control software), Ethernet, or IR with the included RC-IR2 remote control transmitter.
It also includes memory locations that store up to four presets to be recalled and executed as needed, and also features a USB port for convenient firmware upgrades.
The 910 is powered by a standard worldwide power supply and is housed in a standard 19” rack mount size with rack mount “ears” included. It sells in the United States at a list price of $1495 per unit.
