928 Mixing Console
General E 1/1
Edition: 07.02.01
1 GENERAL
The Studer 928 console features a modular 30 mm concept with me-
chanical frames for 12 or 16 units. This way, different size consoles
can be built; the maximum would be 96 input units. Both mono and
stereo input units are available. The standard configuration contains 8
mono groups, 2 stereo masters, 6 mono and 2 stereo AUX channels,
and 2 monitor modules for studio and control room monitoring.
Functionality of the console is very high. N-1 circuits, direct outputs
from every input stage, a sophisticated EQ stage, and a high number
of AUX channels, limiters in each group and master stage, and dedi-
cated on-air switching features are normally found only in much more
expensive constructions.
The gain control is effected via VCAs in all stages which allow the
formation of VCA groups. In every input unit the VCA can be locked to
one of four VCA groups, and the group master fader is a linear fader in
the monitor module.
To cope with special customer requirements, the meter bridge is able
to house all Studer 170 mm units. In addition, Studer Eurocards can be
installed in the lower chassis.
No automation is provided in the concept.
The main applications of the console comprise:
• Live transmission in radio and TV
• Recording
• Theatre and Opera
• Sound reinforcement
• OB van applications
This development shows the Studer standard of quality the audio world
is used to see in our mixing consoles. Studer transformers are used at
inputs and outputs, gold contacts for all audio switches, and high qual-
ity VCAs to maintain Studer’s standard of “good sound”.
