Comes with the required Shadow Hills PSU.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eShadow Hills Equinox\u003c\/strong\u003e is like a complete small-format recording console in just two rack spaces. It features 2 GAMA mic preamps, 30 channels of analog summing, and a mastering-grade monitor controller.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Preamps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The mic preamps are the Golden Age Microphone Amps. Each has 60dB of gain, 24 position gold-plated stepped attenuators, 48V phantom power, 20dB pad, polarity reverse, and 1\/4\" DI input. The most exciting feature of the amplifier section is the switchable output transformers, which allow for several different sonic flavors in the same box. The transformers and characteristics are as follows:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Transformer - \u003c\/strong\u003eHand-wound to match a favorite 1970s American output transformer. Tight and punchy, the most colored with the biggest low end. The sound of rock and roll.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNickel Transformer -\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-wound transformer based on an L.A. custom console. Super clear and wonderful sounding, but with a subtle and musical smoothing of the transients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Transformer -\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern version of the classic St. Ives 1166 Neve output transformer. Warm and round with a super detailed and present mid-range. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSumming Network\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The summing buss is a 30-channel mixer utilizing copper buss bars and esoteric resistors, for simply the finest sounding passive summing. DAW inputs 3-24 are STEREO summed and distributed odd to left and even to right, while DAW inputs 25-32 are sent MONO to both channels of the summing network. The summed signal then passes through the Golden Age amplifiers with selectable output transformers. Effectively allowing the user to choose between the sounds of three different consoles on the mix bus. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMonitor Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The monitor section features: choice of 4 input sources, choice of 3 speaker outputs, 24 step monitor level control, monitor level dim switch, switch to engage built-in talkback mic, cue output, and stereo\/mono switch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWith the INPUT SELECT switch set to:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAW 1-2 position, the Equinox monitors the stereo mix output of the user’s DAW. In this mode, the incoming DAW 1-2 signal bypasses the GAMA amplifiers and feeds the monitor level control. This allows the user to employ the Equinox’s mic preamps standalone and record\/monitor them through the DAW’s I\/O.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIX 3-32 position, the Equinox monitors the summing network after passing through the GAMAs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXTERNAL position, the Equinox is able to monitor an additional balanced stereo source via rear panel XLR connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIC PRE position, the Equinox routes the mic preamp output directly to the monitor section. This allows the user to monitor the signal coming directly from the preamp, prior to any converter artifacts or intermediate processing. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e The monitor section also features three pairs of speaker outputs and a cue (or headphone) output. Both reproduce what the input select is set to. Only one speaker output pair may be selected at a time. The speaker output level is control by the Monitor Level knob. The Cue Output is unaffected by the Monitor Level, and switches to the Talkback signal when the Talkback Switch is engaged. Simultaneously, the Monitor Level dims when the Talkback Switch is engaged.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With all these features in a rugged 2U enclosure the Shadow Hills Equinox is equipped for the demands of modern recording, but styled and crafted to the high standards of a bygone era. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This unit requires the Shadow Hills PSU.","brand":"Shadow Hills Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248539779209,"sku":"113544","price":3795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/8706\/5737\/files\/shadow-hills-equinox-w-psu-347-used_113544_1_67dd9ad5-0d0a-49c8-9570-5d301be30054.jpg?v=1784048335","url":"https:\/\/vintage-king-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/shadow-hills-equinox-w-psu-347-used","provider":"Vintage King Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
