C44 Series Mixers
Never
before have so many features been packed into such a rugged,
compact, American made mixer. The best feature of the Concert
44 Series is the sound. Sound that is pure and quiet enough
for your digital recording studio! Everything is logically
laid out making the powerful features simple to use and the
compact size makes it a breeze to carry. The knobs are not
micro size, making adjustments quick and easy - and the
visible pointers show you the status of your mix at a glance.
The C844, C1644, C2444 and C3244 feature 8 to 32 channels with
true 4-bus performance.
TRUE
4-BUS DESIGN
The Concert 44
Series allows for increased mixing flexibility over standard
stereo consoles by letting you assign channels to one of the 4
sub groups or L/R. This allows you to mix the entire drum,
horn, choir section, etc. into one sub group and then adjust
the master level of that sub group to the L/R output. This is
an easy way to control the volume of grouped mics or inputs.
If you don’t need subgrouping, you can depress the L/R channel
button and the channel goes directly into the L/R output like
a standard stereo console. All 4 sub group outputs have
balanced outputs for long cable runs.
TWO
EFFECT SENDS / TWO 24-BIT EFFECT PROCESSORS
Two built-in
24-Bit effects, each offering 256 stereo effects, is a first
in a 4-bus mixing console. Since there are two, you no longer
have to choose between that great vocal reverb with delay and
that awesome guitar chorus - you can have both! Each processor
offers lush reverbs, rich choruses, thick textured flanging
and pristine echoes with fully adjustable parameters for
damping, decay, depth, speed, time and regeneration. Both
processors can be sent back into the monitor mix so the
performers can hear exactly what the audience is
hearing.
FOUR
MONITOR SENDS
Every channel
can send 4 different monitor mixes while still having access
to 2 effect sends. No other mixer with built-in effect
processors has this kind of monitor capacity. For the first
time, give all of your performers their own monitor mix. All 4
monitor sends have balanced outputs for long cable runs.
3 BAND
EQ/MID SWEEP
A powerful EQ
system with a 15 dB boost and cut range delivers all the tone
you want. The LOW frequency control builds low-end response
starting with 20 Hz through 80 Hz for a solid non-flabby bass.
The exclusive offset of the MID FREQ. control ends the
confusion of selecting your mid frequency from 100 Hz to
5kHz.

The
MID cut and boost control adjusts the gain to the perfect
mid-dip or boost curve to enhance all instruments and vocals.
The 11.5k Hz HI treble control adds sparkle to your top-end
without adding harshness. Both the LOW and HI are “shelving”,
which means they are effective from 20 Hz and up to 20k Hz.
The LO CUT switch eliminates stage rumble or other unwanted
low frequencies that would normally rob power from your
subwoofers.
TWO 9
BAND EQUALIZERS
Precision
equalizers provide precise 1 octave adjustments to tune in
your overall sound and control feedback. Unlike one stereo
equalizer, two independent 9 bands give you total flexibility.
With two convenient buttons, you can assign either EQ to the
R/L outputs or to the 1 & 2 monitor outputs. Center
frequencies are 63, 120, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k & 16k
Hz.
CHANNEL
FEATURES
Every channel has a full balanced XLR and LINE
(1/4”) preamp with an INSERT jack for a compressor or EQ that
also serves as a DIRECT out when plugged half way. The PAN
control directs the channel into the L/R output or any of the
4 sub groups after depressing the appropriate ASSIGN switches.
A PFL (pre fader listen) switch allows you to hear the channel
before the fader is turned up in the headphones. A solid “on”
condition of the PEAK led indicates that the MUTE switch has
been activated which turns the channel off including all
monitor and effect sends. When flashing during use, the PEAK
led also lets you know when to adjust the channel’s GAIN
control to prevent channel overloading. The SIGNAL led lets
you know that a signal is coming through the channel starting
at –20 dBu. A silky smooth 60mm audio taper FADER delivers
professional fade-outs. The PHANTOM power switches provide
power through the XLR connectors for use with condenser mics
like the Carvin CM90E in groups of 8 channels.
MASTER
FEATURES
Each of the 4 Sub Group faders can be switched to
the R/L outputs or used independently through their own
balanced output jacks. Each of the sub group’s PFL switches
allows you to listen to the sub groups in your headphones
before it is turned up. The R and L MAIN output faders are
independent for added flexibility over a single stereo
fader.
A MONO control sums both the R/L output together for a center,
side fill or subwoofer output. The stereo HEADPHONE control
tracks the METER switches which allows you to look and listen
from the L/R, MONO, MONITOR 1/2 and 3/4 outputs and channel
PFL switches.

The
master section also features 2 EFFECT SENDS, 4 RETURNS and RCA
TAPE IN/OUT jacks. All 4 SUB GROUPS, 4 MONITORS, XLR L/R and
MONO outputs are balanced. A FOOT SWITCH jack turns both
effects processors on or off remotely with the optional FS22
foot switch.
SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY
The 125k
Hz switching power supply is a feature not available in other
mixers. All 50-60 Hz hum from transformers is eliminated and
you don’t have to use a separate wall-wart or power supply
because it’s built-in. Like a laptop computer, you can go
anywhere in the world with a detachable cord and not worry
about power as the Concert 44 mixers run on any voltage from
90 to 250VAC, 50/60 Hz!
SUPERB
SOUND
State-of-the-art low impedance, low
noise preamps are featured on every channel. The balanced
common mode rejection is better than 70 dB to eliminate all
cable noise. All main outputs are either balanced or XLR
connectors to guard against system noise. The near theoretical
limit on distortion has been achieved with THD below .01% to
guarantee the purity of your sound ensuring it will be
dynamically open and transparent.
ENGINEERED TO LAST
Hidden deep
in the heart of these USA made mixers is the SMT construction
that utilizes surface mounted components to prevent
malfunctions caused from vibrations. Sealed controls and
switches guard against the outside elements while heavy-duty
jacks provide a positive connection to your cables. Fire
retardant FR-4 military spec circuit cards feature
double-sided copper to eliminate radio freq. interference.
Precision 1% tolerance components guarantee your settings will
be accurate every time. The Concert 44 Series is built to
strict standards. Buy one today on our money back guarantee
and make a world of difference in your sound!
