y
sophisticated,
cost'effective,
flexible
and englneer-
oriented
production
recordlng
console.
The
cost-effective
part
of
the console
has
been
realised:
(1)
By not uslng
a
very
expenslve often troublesome
connector
module construction,
but using
our
wel
I known
8-channel
in/output construction
on
one single
front
panel.
(2)
To
choose
the
most advanced american way of console
set
up in
which channel
and
group
sections
are
conso I
i da tcd
I n to one
I npu t/0utput channe |
.
(31
By not uslng the
very cxpenslve telephone
goldplated
patchbays,
but
to
construct our ohrn
patchbay.
(4)
To

components
(so:
increas'lng

costs,
an

and
an overal

signlflcantly
bettered
for many
