Comfortable loudspeaker routing with variable level control for an uncompromising comparison on the sales floor, along with multi-monitor and multi-room applications, are just some of the ways the GrandAudition MK2 can be effectively put to use.

GrandAudition MK2 lets you connect 16 individual loudspeakers or eight loudspeaker pairs and up to eight subwoofers - all with balanced line-level XLR connectors and housed in two 19\" rack units. Depending on how you want to use GrandAudition MK2, the outputs can be selected either individually or as stereo pairs via an intuitive browser-based app or from the unit itself.

Thereby you can choose to just switch between loudspeakers or freely configure any output combination you want, making it not only the ideal solution for a loudspeaker presentation, but also an excellent choice as a central-control-unit for trade fairs, in laboratories and for multi-room sound distribution.

Source material is supplied from a mixer, CD player or digital audio workstation through two balanced XLR inputs - with volume control, of course. But that\'s not all. GrandAudition MK2 is also equipped with a built-in USB media player on which reference titles can be accessed in WAV, AIF, FLAC, MP3 and OGG data formats.

The browser-based remote can be controlled on a tablet or laptop, offering maximum operating convenience. Ethernet and WLAN-capable devices can be used for complete configuration and control of the unit, including channel naming, media player, and other practical functions.

The ability to individually adjust the level for each output and its quick and noiseless switching mechanism, makes it possible to accurately compare loudspeakers and help you reliably guide your customers to select the right loudspeaker. Routing applications that use different levels for each output can also be set up, and a fully analogue signal path with the highest quality is also of course guaranteed with Palmer.

If necessary, you can cascade units to triple the impressive number of 16 channels plus 8 outputs and thus manage even the largest routing scenarios for monitors, such as in presentation areas. You can also use the subwoofer outputs to connect additional loudspeakers without experiencing any technical drawbacks.

In addition to powered loudspeakers, passive loudspeakers can be incorporated with power amps. Signals can also be distributed over multiple line outputs for other applications, for example, by connecting as many as 24 headphone amplifiers to one source signal - an invaluable aid in conference technology and at trade fairs. And to top it all off, GrandAudition MK2 performs remarkably well in measuring laboratories.

In short, GrandAudition MK2, with its clearly arranged features and ease of use, offers comfortable loudspeaker routing with professional sound neutrality.

Superb Audio Quality
Active microphone and line signal splitting has a number of benefits over
using passive splitters: primarily these are improved sound quality, noise
figures comparable to the best microphone inputs, and increased resistance
to RFI.
About the MSX 32
With these benefits in mind, the ARX MSX 32 Active Microphone/Line Splitter
has been developed to deliver the performance required by the increasing
complexity of today?s standards of audio production.
The MSX 32 consists of eight channels of actively buffered ultra low noise
Microphone/Line Splitter. Each of these channels has four electronically Balanced
splits ? two outputs on the rear panel for Main and Monitor, plus two more output
splits on the front panel. All splits have the option of transformer balancing if so
specified.Each channel has a ?20 dB pad switch plus silently switchable 48V
Phantom power with indicator LED. A PFL switch and 6 LED metering enables
each channel to be easily checked with headphones for signal monitoring, and
also for line tracing when troubleshooting. Gain through the MSX 32 can be set
individually by the small DIP switches on the rear of each channel, from 0dB
through to +40 dB in 10 dB stepsA ?Link? switch links each channel to the previous
one, providing an ultimate maximum of 32 Outputs from a single input. An indicator
LED shows when this is active. A Clip LED indicates imminent signal overload
through the channel, and a numbered marker panel on the front provides a space
where individual channel connections can be noted.
Number stickers are provided to give each channel an individual number for up to
40 channels when multiple MSX32s are being used.Internally, powerful RF input
filtering removes both common mode and differential interference at ultrasonic frequencies
and above. High CMRR is achieved by the use of precision components throughout.
Advanced user options include internally jumper linking Inputs to Main outputs, and
Ground lifting Output Pins 1 as required.
Internal Power Supply
The MSX 32?s internal toroidal transformer based power supply is triple shielded to
get the maximum benefit from the ultra low noise design of the splitter circuitry.
An illuminated power switch on the front panel provides visual confirmation of AC
power connection to the unit.The headphone output and the 6 LED PFL metering
are both mounted on the right hand side of the front panel. Rear panel connectors
enable this function to be linked when using multiple MSX 32 units.
To sum up, this feature packed two RU device is the answer wherever transparent
signal buffering and routing is required.

DBX 2215 Dual 15-Band Graphic Equalizer with Noise Reduction

 It's amazing. One little button. So much effect. dbx? Type III? Noise Reduction is an entirely new concept... virtually instantaneous encode/decode within the circuitry of the box. We started out to build the finest EQs possible, boxes with the heritage and performance to rival our famous 30 Series EQs. And to no one's surprise they came out awfully darn good. (Ask to see the Audio Precision plots compared to the competition.) But then, Roger (our chief engineer, a nice guy, as far as engineers go) got the crazy idea of putting this new noise reduction stuff in the box. We listened to it and were amazed. The EQs sounded great without it but with it the performance was nothing short of incredible. Check it out yourself and see.

But hey, Roger wasn't about to stop there. PeakPlus? Limiter. Who knows more about limiting than the folks at dbx; nobody... that's who. So when the guys were developing this new series of EQs they wanted something that would be unique to these EQs. That's when Roger got another one of his bright ideas and said "I bet they'll work a lot better if there's a cool limiter built in." Next thing you know, all the guys are in the studio amazed at the new limiter Roger had designed specially for the 20 Series. Once again, hearing is believing... With a threshold range of 0dbu to plus 20dbu, the patent-pending PeakPlus limiter is designed to tame your program material from the subtlest nuances to the rowdiest hits. Also, the four stage LED ladder gives you a great visual indication as to what the limiter is doing.

20 Series EQs. You used to have to settle for second best in a reasonably priced EQ but not any more. With the new 20 Series from dbx Professional Products you get a great EQ circuit, a graceful yet powerful limiter and the revolutionary new design of the Type III Noise Reduction. Check out the dbx 20 Series graphic EQs at your pro audio outfitter. You'll see, with the 20 Series EQs you get MORE!!!
