A Complete Live Sound Toolkit
The quality and variety of internal eects have become major factors in choosing a digital live sound
console. Studio quality sound is a must, but so is having the right processors for the job at hand. CL
series consoles feature virtual eect racks that are packed with a selection of eects that have been
chosen and developed to meet the real-world needs of live sound professionals. Everything you
need to create perfectly polished sound for your application is right here.
A Comprehensive Range of Valued Devices
VCM technology delivers rened, musical tonality in the outstanding lineup of devices provided in the CL series Premium Rack and Eect Rack.
As the name implies, “virtual racks”
provided in the CL series consoles let
you combine signal processors you
need for your application in one easily
accessible location, much like
traditional analog outboard racks. The
new CL series Premium Rack can
accommodate up to eight instances of
the six expressive EQ and dynamics
eects provided, including the Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5033 equalizer and Portico 5043
compressor/limiter. The ability to use some of the most highly regarded studio eects in live
mixes can help you deliver unprecedented sonic quality in any venue.
Premium Rack Brings
Studio Standards to
the Live Stage
In addition to the Premium Rack described above,
the CL consoles feature an Eect Rack that allows
simultaneous use of up to 8 eects from a selection
of 46 ambience eects and 8 insertion eects, all of
outstanding quality. Although a separate EQ rack is
provided for the output buses, any of the 8 eects in
the Eect Rack can be replaced by graphic EQ units
as needed.
Eect Rack With More Than 50 Eects
These devices
immaculately model
the full sonic depth
and breadth of the
original analog
equalizer and
compressor/limiter
modules by Rupert
Neve. They are not only ideal for adding rst-class studio-
quality processor sound to your mix, but are also remarkably
easy to set up for optimum eect. Merely inserting these
outstanding models in the signal path can enhance the sound.

The CL consoles also feature a GEQ rack that allows
graphic EQ to be inserted into the output buses as
required for room equalization and other functions.
Up to 16 31-band GEQ units can be mounted in the
rack for simultaneous use, and those GEQ units can
be individually switched to Flex15GEQ mode,
eectively providing two EQ channels that allow up
to 15 bands to be used at a time. With a full rack of GEQ units all functioning in Flex15GEQ
mode, you have a total of 32 GEQ channels for extensive equalization capacity.
