February 7, 2000
Digidesign exhibits Focusrite line of analog signal
processors at the Winter NAMM tradeshow. Among these are the Platinum,
Red, and ISA Range processors. Previewed at this year’s show will
be the new Platinum 4 MixMaster stereo mix processor. The MixMaster is
designed to be used on the output of a console’s main stereo output
bus during mixdown or with a console as an interim processor during the
recording process from a stereo send/insert.
Designed for the serious recording musician, the MixMaster is a 2U, 19"
rack mount unit comprising the following sections: stereo line inputs operable
at –10 dBV or +4 dBu levels, stereo expander, multi-band compressor, (3 bands)
3-band EQ with swept high and low bands and a parametric mid band with 10X scale.
The MixMaster also contains a stereo image controller, and a multiband frequency
adaptive limiter for minimum distortion and maximum A/D protection.
Optionally, the MixMaster can be fitted with a 24 bit/96kHz stereo digital
A/D card that can be used to feed a mastering machine, such as a DAT or CD-R.
It can also be used as a standalone stereo converter when transferring audio from
one machine to another.
The MixMaster will be available in March 2000 at an MSRP of $1,195 (USD). The
optional 24 bit/96 kHz A/D board will also be available in March and will carry
an MSRP of $195 (USD). Customers can purchase the MixMaster with the A/D board
installed from the factory for $1,390 (USD).
