SX-1LE

Applications Guide

Home Recording & Education

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.
