The EQ MAGIX is a single-channel equalizer system consisting of a para-
metric and a psychoacoustic equalizer. Both are combined with a superior
microphone preamplifier and an active two-channel panorama output
stage.
People in MIDI hybrid studios or production studios often need a single
mixing desk channel with superior microphone preamplification and
perfect sound control to record different song tracks, saxophone or guitar
soli on R-Dat, hard disk or samplers. The EQ MAGIX is, so to speak, an
»all-in-one« tool for applications of this nature.
The EQ MAGIX is ideally suited for both a demanding instrumentalist's
or a singer's rack. Existing equipment can be looped into the signal path via
I
NSERT. The unit's outputs are either connected directly with the recording
medium or with one to four (2x balanced and 2x unbalanced) mixing desk
channels. From there, the signal is fed into the Insert Return after the EQ
section (provided that appropriate Insert points are available), so as to
bypass as much desk circuitry as possible. As you know, a signal is also
influenced if all the switches are on »off« and all controls are in the centre
position or on »0«. That is why it is advisable to feed the signal in after the
desk equalizer.
The technology in the microphone preamplifier is used in the very latest
generation of mixing desks made by Harrison and SSL. The P
