D&R Airmate-12-USB broadcast mixer

• 12 triple input channels
• 10x Mic inputs
• 20x stereo line inputs
• 2x Built Telephone Hybrid

The Airmate-12-USB broadcast mixer for those situations where more mic inputs are needed.

Built around well proven low noise circuitry, this console is the reliable workhorse for the self-op production D.J. that needs 10 Mic inputs an internal Telephone Hybrid (2x) and USB connection to the PC (e.q. for streaming to the web). A heavy duty 19" rack mounted RF shielded chassis houses 12 vertical triple input modules giving flexibility rarely found in a mixer of this type.  Ten input channels with high quality balanced microphone inputs on XLR and two stereo line level inputs on Cinch (RCA) connectors. Every Mic input has an insert for signal processors. And… every line level line B input can be converted into a phono (record player) channel by simply fitting an optional stereo R.I.A.A. equalized phono pre-amp.

Built in Telephone Hybrids

This new Airmate-USB model has 10 balanced mic inputs (+48 phantom is standard) with insert, 20 stereo line inputs, 2x USB and 2x Telephone Hybrids. Channel 9 and 10 have Mic/Line and USB interface to transfer audio from and to your PC.  Channel 11 and 12 have, apart from the stereo line input, also RJ-11 connectors to interface with a POT (Plain Old Telephone) line and a Telephone appliance to dial the number you want to reach.

High quality built in Hybrids with R (trimmer on the surface) and C balance (switch on the surface) and direct Connection and Talkback buttons in the Hybrid channels makes a conversation with listeners very easy.

With the Telco Send (level to the caller) and Telco Gain (level coming from the caller) all levels can be easy adjusted.

But be always aware of the fact that the RC balance has to be adjusted once to create a clean telephone signal send and receive. The manual will give info about this pretty simple procedure.
The front panel ON switch is wired in series with the built in mechanical fader start enabling selection of start either by fader or hard start via the ON switch. Fader start generates in the Mic mode a Mic-on signaling to switch on ON-Air lights. There is a 3 band Equalizer on channel 1-10. The stereo Aux send can be set pre or post fader. All mic inputs have low cut jumpers.

A clean feed send is available for external analog and digital Hybrids.
