Lebih Lengkap Mengenai Compact Broadcast Mixer

The XB-10 by Allen & Heath is a compact broadcast mixer designed for self-operated broadcast applications in small radio and internet studios, as well as larger facilities with multiple rooms.

It offers a host of features such as a telephone-communication (Telco) channel, ON switch logic for automatic muting of speaker outputs, start/cue outputs for CD deck-transport control, separate headphone mix & output for guests, built-in mic compressors, output limiter, and more.

The XB-10 audio circuitry employs three mic/line channels equipped with high-gain preamps, 3-band EQs to help cut sibilance & lower popping noise, and 2-band EQs for use with music. Each mic pre is equipped with a compressor, and a limiter on the main output ensures that the final mix does not exceed predetermined level.

The full-duplex USB sound card offers playback and record to & from a computer as well as voice over IP (VoIP), and it's compliant with Mac & Windows core audio drivers.

Despite its tiny footprint, XB-10 is packed with the kinds of specialised broadcast features that normally come at a much higher price. Radio-friendly tools include a telephone communication (telco) channel, mic channel ON switch sensing, stereo channel start/cue outputs for CD deck transport control and automatic muting of speaker outputs. A separate monitor mix can be created for operator and guest or presenter, and the operator can speak off-air to the studio or telephone callers using the ‘Talk’ feature.

XB-10’s preamps use low noise discrete transistor circuitry to achieve high gain and excellent linearity. Each mic channel comes equipped with our innovative CompACT compressor to keep the dynamic range of a presenter microphone under control. A variable limiter on the main output ensures that the final mix to air does not saturate expensive broadcast equipment.

The plug-n-play USB connection can be used for VoIP telephone calls, recording program material, playing jingles and more.
