Yamaha - IM8-40

INPUT CHANNELS FEATURES:

• Precision Mic/Line Preamplifiers
• Input Section: All mono input channels have both balanced XLR type and TRS phone jacks for versatile input connectivity. Individual +48V phantom power switches on each mono channel provide phantom power for condenser microphones, and input levels can be optimally matched over a broad -60 dB through +10 dB range with a 26-dB pad switch and gain control. Other input section facilities on mono channels are a phase switch and 80 Hz high-pass filter switch. Stereo input channels provide L and R phone jack inputs as well as pin jack stereo pairs. A gain control allows matching to stereo input signal levels from -34 dB to +10 dB.
• One-knob Compressor on All Mono Channels
• 4-band Equalizer
• 8 AUX Sends
• All channels feature smooth, noiseless full-length faders
• Additional Channel I/O: All mono input channels have both balanced XLR type and TRS phone jacks for versatile input connectivity. Individual +48V phantom power switches on each mono channel provide phantom power for condenser microphones, and input levels can be optimally matched over a broad -60 dB through +10 dB range with a 26-dB pad switch and gain control. Other input section facilities on mono channels are a phase switch and 80 Hz high-pass filter switch. Stereo input channels provide L and R phone jack inputs as well as pin jack stereo pairs. A gain control allows matching to stereo input signal levels from -34 dB to +10 dB.

MASTER CONTROL SECTION FEATURES:

• AUX Send Masters: The IM8 console master section provides individual linear AUX send master faders for each of the eight AUX buses. These smooth linear faders make the IM8 consoles ideal choices for monitor mixing as well as front-of-house operation, affording precise fader positioning with visual feedback for perfectly balanced monitor mixes. Each AUX send master fader has a 3-segment level meter for visual level confirmation, and an AFL switch with indicator for convenient AUX signal monitoring. Insert patch points are provided before the AUX send faders, and the AUX send outputs on the rear panel are balanced XLR types.
• Four Stereo AUX Returns
• Matrix Out: The IM8 series consoles feature four matrix outputs that can be fed signals from all eight of the group busses as well as the stereo and mono bus. Individual level controls for each source bus are provided for each of the four matrix outputs, along with a master matrix level control and AFL switch for local signal monitoring. The matrix is a convenient and configurable system for providing additional output mixes for any number of utility applications: extra monitors, dressing room feeds, lobby sound, and more.
• Mute Masters: These four switches instantly mute or un-mute all channels on which the correspondingly numbered MUTE switches are engaged. This allows you to set up as many as four different channel mute configurations and engage or disengage them instantly as required.. This is a great way to handle multiple bands, for example, or to shut down specific groups of microphones when they’re not being used.
• Talkback Section
• Monitor Section
• Stereo and Mono Masters
• Group Outputs
• 2TR IN/USB and REC OUT/USB Sections: The IM8 consoles feature 2-track input and stereo record output facilities in both analog and digital formats. Analog 2-track input can be connected to the console via the rear-panel stereo pin jacks or a stereo mini-phone jack on the front panel. Assign switches allow the received 2-track signal to be sent to the stereo and/or mono buses, while a rotary control adjusts the signal level. A PFL switch and indicator are also provided for easy monitoring of the 2-track signal. Conversely, the signal from the stereo and/or mono buses can be assigned to a pair of pin-jack record outputs on the rear panel for connection to an external 2-track recording or similar device. The functions of the 2-track inputs and record outputs are duplicated by a USB terminal that can be used to transfer the corresponding digital audio signals to and/or from a computer running the supplied Cubase AI4 audio workstation so­ware for direct digital recording from the console or playback via the console.
• Front-panel Stereo Mini Phone Jack Input
