1. Introduction
FBQ Feedback Detection System
One of the most outstanding features of this console is the
FBQ Feedback Detection System, which is part of the graphic
equalizer. This ingenious circuit makes it possible to detect and
subsequently eliminate feedback frequencies very quickly.
FBQ increases the brightness of the EQ fader LEDs for the frequency bands where
feedback is occurring. What used to be a tedious search for feedback frequencies
is now mere child’s play.
XENYX Mic Preamps
The microphone channels feature high-end XENYX Mic Preamps
that compare well with costly outboard preamps in terms of sound
quality and dynamics and boast the following features:
•
130 dB dynamic range for an incredible amount of headroom
•
A bandwidth ranging from below 10 Hz to over 200 kHz for crystal-clear
reproduction of even the finest nuances
•
The extremely low-noise and distortion-free circuitry guarantees absolutely
natural and transparent signal reproduction
•
They are perfectly matched to every conceivable microphone with up to
60 dB gain and +48 volt phantom power supply
•
They enable you to use the greatly extended dynamic range of your
24-bit/192-kHz HD recorder to the full, thereby maintaining optimal
audio quality
“British EQ”
The equalizers used for the XENYX Series are based on the legendary circuitry of
The equalizers used for the XENYX Series are based on the legendary circuitry of
top-notch consoles made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world
for their incredibly warm and musical sound character. Even with extreme gain
settings these equalizers ensure outstanding audio properties.
What is more, the EURODESK comes with two effects processors
using 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and the effects algorithms of
our renowned 19" multi-effects device VIRTUALIZER PRO
DSP2024P. Each processor offers 99 presets with first-class room
simulations, delay and modulation effects as well as compressor, tube distortion
and numerous other effects available—all with excellent audio quality!
The mixer is equipped with a state-of-the-art integrated
switch-mode power supply. Unlike conventional designs,
this supply automatically adapts to supply voltages between
100 and 240 V. With its considerably higher efficiency, it is also
more economical in terms of power consumption than standard power supply units.
