Overview

Winner of the TEC award for Outstanding Technical Achievement.

Features include a stereo switch for true stereo operation from a single set of controls, key inputs with illuminated push-button selection, illuminated push-button switches for compressor/limiter in/out on each channel, and precision VU metering of signal level or gain change (switched). Can operate as a discrete channel unit.
