GENERAL
The Sony MXP-29
has been
designed
to be multi-
purpose
audio mixer capable
of performing
all the
essential
functions required
for
a
public
address system,
radio
and
TV
broadcasting,
studio
recording
and
tape
editing. The
compact and lightweight
design demon-
strates
its
ability especially
outdoors for relay
broad-
casting. It
can also be controlled
by
a
video editing
control unit
so
that
the
video
and audio
signals can
be
edited
simultaneously.
8
channel
inputs with various
adjustment possibil-
ities
Each input
can be
independently
adjusted to suit the
connected
equipment and
to provide excellent
mixing
results
from its own low-cut
filter and
equalization
circuits.
With the PAN
POT (panoramic
potentiometer)
function,
each input
sound image can
be positioned
to the
desired spot
between the
L
and
R stereo
output
channels.
Auxiliary
inputs and
outputs
for additional
mixing
effects
By connecting
an
echo
machine
or a
reverberation
unit,
additionally desired sound
effects
may
be easily
obtained.
One of the
outputs
can be
used to supply
signals
to a
fold-back
speaker for
players on
the
stage.
Monitoring
of
various
signals
Each
line and
auxiliary output
signal
can
be monitored
either
with headphones or
speakers
for
accurate
mixing. In
addition, the PFL
(pre-fader
listening)
function
permits
direct
monitoring
of
each of
the original
incoming
signals.
Control
with an external
equipment
In
combination
with
an editing
control
unit
such as
a
BVE-900, the
output
level of
each
channel can
be
controlled.
So the audio
signal
can
be edited
in
synchronization with
a
video
signal.
Power
supply circuits for
condenser
microphones
The
built-in
power
supply circuits
can supply
the
required
power of 48V
DC to connected
microphones.
2-
way
powering
The MXP-29
can be operated
either on
AC power or
on
12V
DC.
Easy
rack
mounting
The table- top
design
can
be easily converted
for rack-
mounting
in a
19-inch
standard rack
