Product Details

An 8 input mixer feeds 4 independent tracks. There are 4 mic/line inputs. A 2-band EQ on each channel lets you dial in the tone you like, and 2 effect sends lets the 414 communicate with whatever outboard gear you might have in your studio or personal rack. DBX noise reduction helps to keep your recording clean.

The mixer section is simply and logically laid out. There are four input channels, each of which features, from the bottom:

• A trim pot, for setting the overall input gain, between -10dB and -50dB (mic and line level).
• A main level fader.
• An input source select switch; your choices are off, tape and mic/line.
• A Pan pot, for placing your signal in the stereo field.
• A record routing switch -- options are safe (ie. no recording), a tape track numbered 1-4 for the equivalent input channel, and a left or right input (left for channels 1 and 3, right for channels 2 and 4) for stereo recording.
• Effect send 2/Tape Cue: depending on the setting of the Effect 2/Tape Cue switch (found above the master fader), this forms part of a basic 4:1 monitor mixer (independent of the main mixer), or can be used as a second post-fade effects (auxiliary) send.
• Effect send 1, for connection to an effects processor.
• EQ Low, shelving at 100Hz, with 10dB cut or boost.
• EQ High, shelving at 10kHz, with 10dB cut or boost.
• An LED bargraph meter, which provides a readout of the playback or record level of each track.
• A record-ready LED: this flashes in record standby mode, and lights fully when recording is actually taking place.
