C hurches have grown from small congrega-
tions to vast complexes, complete with large
musical ensembles, video and audio conferenc-
ing, and full-fl edged audio recording facilities.
The SX-1LE is the perfect all-in-one solution for
front-of-house audio mixing, recording ceremo-
nies and productions, creation of Compact Discs
for distribution, and content creation for classes
and special promotions.
It offers the ability to create sophisticated live
mixes and perform mixdowns with EQ and effects
– all with the professional quality that today’s con-
gregations expect. Professional features like MIDI
sequencing, DAW-style editing and touch-sensitive
moving fader automation ensure that your produc-
tions will sound polished and dynamic.
I t’s not uncommon for larger commercial record-
ing studios and radio production facilities to offer
one or more smaller rooms for projects that don’t
require as large an area to produce. One of the
limiting factors in choosing gear for such a room
is space, since fi tting a large console, multitrack
recorder, outboard signal processing, DAW-style
editing, mixdown tools and MIDI sequencing can
take up more room than a 10 x 10 area can provide.
But the SX-1LE offers all of these abilities and more,
in a compact package that’s slightly over 3 feet
wide by 2 feet deep.
In addition to powerful recording, mixing and
editing capabilities, the SX-1LE has a professional-
quality 128-track MIDI sequencer. Integrated with
the recording engine, MIDI events can be controlled
down to sample-accurate precision and scrubbed
along with the audio. The four MIDI outputs pro-
vide access to 64 channels of MIDI tone genera-
tors, lighting controllers, effects processors, or any
other equipment using the MIDI communication
standard.
For multimedia projects, the SX-1LE can be syn-
chronized using MIDI or SMPTE timecode. There’s
also a word clock input and output for digital audio
routing, in addition to two sets of S/PDIF digital
inputs and outputs and ADAT optical digital I/O.
As your studio expands, you can add another 24
digital or analog inputs and outputs using the
three expansion slots.
Each of the SX-1LE’s components offer the fea-
ture set and audio quality expected for high-end
music and audio production, making it an attrac-
tive choice for smaller yet commercially viable
recording environments.
