The MX-508 is an eight-input
stereo rackmountable mixer. Designed for a multitude
of applications, the MX-508 has an extensive mix of features for a small
unit combined
with excellent sound and quiet performance.
The MX-508 features 84 dB of gain to ensure full output with low-level or
distant
microphones. Several years of research went into the microphone preamp and
the
result is a discrete circuit with better than -129 dBu Equivalent Input
Noise (EIN)
and very low distortion. Low and High Shelving EQ combined with mid-band
peaking
EQ tunable from 140Hz and 8 kHz make for a very flexible tone control. Phantom
power
of +48 VDC is provided for condenser microphones via a switch on the front
panel.
Precision input transformers are easily field-installable, and each input
has its own
20dB pad switch. Variable gain trim and Mic/Line selection switches are
also found
on each input channel. Rounding out the list of standard input features
are a Peak
Clip indicator, two Aux Sends (factory-set with one pre-EQ and level and
the other
post-EQ and level, these sends may be modified by a qualified technician),
In/Out
channel patching, Level and Pan controls, and both balanced XLR Microphone
and
TRS Line inputs.
Transformer-balanced Left and Right XLR outputs are standard, as are balanced
Left
and Right TRS 1/4" outs. There is also an independent Mono output with
its own front
panel level control, as well as a selectable Headphone output with Level
Control. There
are Pre-Master Sub In/Out patch points for linking other mixers, such as
the Ashly MM-106 six-input microphone mixer. Peak Clip indicators are also
provided for the Outputs, and the 10-Segment LED Meters may be selected
to monitor either Program Left and Right or Aux 1 and 2. Maximum output
level is +24dB into 600 ohms.
The MX-508 also has two Master Aux Sends and two panable Master Aux Returns
(one stereo and the other mono). There is an additional stereo RCA Tape/CD
Input<
with level control to the Mains or Aux 1. Stereo RCA Tape Outputs are also
provided.
The MX-508 combines traditional Ashly quality with internally modular construction
in
a package offering outstanding value and reliability. As with all Ashly
products, the MX-508 is backed by the Company's exclusive Five Year Worry-Free
Warranty.
