Specifications

The SX is well-equipped with outputs – as
well as the main and sub mix outputs, each fed
via 100mm faders for precision control, there’s a
mono sum output, stereo monitor outputs, and the
three aux sends. Insert points on the mono inputs and the
stereo mix bus allow compressors and EQs to be patched in, and
2-track inputs are provided for playback.
And just to make sure
that the SX really is as
versatile as possible, its
rugged frame incorporates
a convenient carry handle,
and rackmount ears can
be fitted for touring,
installed and studio use.
Controlling more inputs in more complex mixing environments
is hard work – that’s why the 20-input Spirit SX has a true
stereo sub-group. By routing groups of channels to this
sub-group and then routing it to the main mix bus, you can
control a set of instrument levels within the main mix, or use
it independently to feed a second set of stereo speakers in a
live situation.
The SX has 12 mono channels for mic or line sources, each with an UltraMic
pre-amp, classic 3-band British EQ with a swept mid band, and a 100mm
fader for precise level control. Direct outputs are provided for recording, and
these can be switched pre-or post fade to suit live or studio use. Three auxes –
one pre, one post, and one switchable – can be used for live monitor or studio
effects sends, and each channel can be routed to the main or the sub stereo
busses. Two stereo channels each accept an RCA stereo input and a second
pair of jack inputs with 2-band EQ, aux sends and main/sub routing.
