Provides for monitoring, interfacing, and final program formatting in four-channel systems. Built-in provisions for quad mixing, duplications, and overdubbing simplify the manipulation of quadraphonic material.
The 226 has 16 program inputs organized in four groups of four. The level of each group can be voltage controlled or manually set. The mixed output appears at the back of the unit for connection to tape recorders or program lines.
Monitoring is accomplished with self-contained level meters, headset drivers, and external power amplifiers and speakers. All quad inputs, as well as the program output, can be monitored -- selection and status indication are via lighted pushbutton switches.
Many 200 series modules are equipped with switch that enable expedient monitoring of signals throughout a system. A jack field facilitates interfacing external components (radio, phono, etc.) and provides for multiple signal connections.
