Surround Mixing
T he SX-1LE is one of the quickest interfaces for
recording. With just four button presses you
can begin recording – perfect for those moments
when you just need to get a new idea down.
Despite its sophisticated feature set and ad-
vanced routing capabilities, the SX-1LE is intui-
tive and easy to use. As your arrangement begins
to take shape, you’ll appreciate the 16 tracks of
24-bit recording and the clarity of the 16 phantom-
powered mic pres. The VGA display output allows
you to edit your tracks until you’ve assembled the
perfect take.
When you’re ready to mix, you get 3-band EQ on
each of the 32 input channels, plus 4 stereo effects
returns for the built-in or external effects. All of
your mixing moves are fully automated using the
touch-sensitive moving faders, and automation can
be edited on the display to get it just right.
As well as making the perfect turnkey studio for
the songwriter at home, the SX-1LE is a perfect fi t for
educational facilities as well. Rather than spending
tens of thousands of dollars to assemble a recording
studio lab for students, the SX-1LE provides all of
the components you need to create a professional
recording environment. Just add monitors and a
microphone for a complete, low-cost solution.
W ith its dedicated 6-channel stem controller
and recorder, the SX-1LE is a good fi t for stu-
dios looking to capture and manipulate surround
audio. The SX-1LE implements an intuitive interface
for working in surround. Using the comprehensive
GUI, you can place your audio anywhere within
a 360˚ fi eld to set the levels and panning for your
surround playback. Also included are advanced
surround controls for setting divergence and LFE, as
well as the ability to cancel the center channel.
There’s also a wide variety of monitoring func-
tions with the SX-1LE. An onboard speaker switcher
allows access to its three speaker outputs. Nearfi eld
and soffi t speaker control room outputs can be fed
by a large number of sources, including left/right,
auxes 1-6, cue mix, 2-track inputs and others. Two
headphone outputs are also included, fed by the
control room or studio output signals.
The SX-1LE offers four simultanious realtime
effects, using TASCAM DSP technology. If you want
to expand into surround reverb, compression or other
effects, it’s simple to insert processors using the SX-1LE’s
fl exible routing controls.
