CARVIN S/L56
January 2003—The dual-inline S/L56 56-input analog console from Carvin (www.carvin.com) offers a high feature-per-dollar ratio. Amenities include eight aux sends on each channel (two effects/four independent monitor sends and stereo in-ear monitoring), Analog Devices mic/line preamps, and ergonomically redesigned rotary knob and fader spacing for increased dexterity in a critical live mix. Also standard are two mid-sweep EQ bands/channel, a switchable low-cut filter to free up wasted power in the bottom end and a rackmount 400-watt power supply (more than double the S/L56's requirement). Price: $4,999.99.


CARVIN STUDIO/LIVE SERIES
January 2000—Available in 24, 40 and 56-channel configurations, Carvin's Studio/Live Series consoles feature 4-band, high and low shelving with dual-mid sweep EQ on each channel, plus bypass facilities. All channels offer direct outputs with balanced TRS connectors, tape in and line in (each with balanced TRS jacks), balanced XLR mic inputs (with phantom power and TRS channel inserts), 100mm Alps faders and Analog Devices SSM2017 devices for the mic/line preamps. By flipping the channel and monitor paths at mixdown, engineers can employ the channel inputs for live or virtual MIDI inputs—effectively doubling the input capacity of the mixer. The console is housed in an all-steel chassis—including the meter bridge, which is standard. The rackmount 400-watt power supply connects to the console with a standard, readily available 4-conductor Speakon cable
