Introduction to the Model E
The Model E Automatic Mixing Controller helps professional audio mixers handle
multiple live mics without having to continually ride their individual faders. This eight-
channel signal processor patches into the input insert points of an audio mixing console.
It detects which mics are being used and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the
mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the faders. The
Model E’s voice-controlled crossfades track unscripted dialogue, eliminating cueing
mistakes and late fade-ups while avoiding the choppy and distracting effects common
to noise gates.
The Model E supports a broad spectrum of live mixing applications:
•
Conference reinforcement, video trucks
•
Houses of worship
•
Film and television dialogue, reality shows
•
Multiple wireless mics for theater
•
Boardrooms, civic meeting rooms, community TV
•
Teleconferencing and distance learning
