Console Overview
The midsized AudioArts Lightning console combines the best in a standalone con-
sole with the latest in modern conveniences such as USB and Bluetooth™ connectivity.
The Lightning comes in 12- or 16-channel tabletop congurations and has a modular
design with four channel Input panels, and a Master panel with linear faders for headphone
and control room level control. All faders are conductive plastic and all switches are LED
illuminated. Input channels have A/B source selection, with balanced line in for the A
source and trimmable -10 to +4 line in on B.
Standard features include four stereo program buses, two auto mix-minuses for call-
ins, four mic preamps with variable gain trim and switchable +48V phantom power, plus
built-in headphone jack and CUE speaker. Additional four channel mic preamp card can
be tted if needed.
USB and Bluetooth connectivity onboard is useful for playing audio directly from a
PC or to output audio to edit in VoxPro or other recording software, as well as receive
and record calls from Bluetooth enabled cellphones or play cuts from MP3 players. The
console also contains a patchable AES input for connecting a digital source to any fader,
and built-in A/D conversion for the main program output so operators can access the
Program Air feed as balanced analog, AES3 digital, or both simultaneously.
