Comes with the required Shadow Hills PSU.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eShadow Hills Equinox\u003c\/span\u003e is like  a complete small-format recording console in just two rack spaces. It   features 2 GAMA mic preamps, 30 channels of analog summing, and a   mastering-grade monitor controller.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMicrophone Preamps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The mic preamps are the Golden Age Microphone Amps.  Each has 60dB of   gain, 24 position gold-plated stepped attenuators, 48V phantom power, 20dB pad, polarity reverse, and 1\/4” DI input. The most exciting feature of   the amplifier section is the switchable output transformers, which allow  for several different sonic flavors in the same box. The transformers   and characteristics are as follows:\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSteel Transformer - \u003c\/span\u003eHand-wound to match a favorite 1970s American output transformer. Tight and  punchy, the most colored with the biggest low end.  The sound of rock   and roll.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eNickel Transformer -\u003c\/span\u003e Hand-wound transformer based on an L.A. custom console. Super clear and   wonderful sounding, but with a subtle and musical smoothing of the   transients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eIron Transformer -\u003c\/span\u003e Modern   version of the classic St. Ives 1166 Neve output transformer. Warm   and round with a super detailed and present mid-range. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cbr style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e  \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSumming Network\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The summing buss is a 30-channel mixer utilizing copper buss bars and   esoteric resistors, for simply the finest sounding passive summing.  DAW  inputs 3-24 are STEREO summed and distributed odd to left and even to   right, while DAW inputs 25-32 are sent MONO to both channels of the   summing network. The summed signal then passes through the Golden Age   amplifiers with selectable output transformers.  Effectively allowing   the user to choose between the sounds of three different consoles on the  mix bus.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMonitor Section\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The monitor section features: choice of 4 input sources, choice of 3   speaker outputs, 24 step monitor level control, monitor level dim   switch, switch to engage built-in talkback mic, cue output, and stereo\/mono switch.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWith the INPUT SELECT switch set to:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAW 1-2 position, the Equinox monitors the stereo mix output of the  user’s DAW.  In this mode, the incoming DAW 1-2 signal bypasses the   GAMA amplifiers and feeds the monitor level control.  This allows the   user to employ the Equinox’s mic preamps standalone and record\/monitor   them through the DAW’s I\/O.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIX 3-32 position, the Equinox monitors the summing network after passing through the GAMAs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXTERNAL position, the Equinox is able to monitor an additional balanced stereo source via rear panel XLR connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIC PRE position, the Equinox routes the mic preamp output   directly to the monitor section.  This allows the user to monitor the   signal coming directly from the preamp, prior to any converter artifacts  or intermediate processing. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  The monitor section also features three pairs of speaker outputs and a cue   (or headphone) output. Both reproduce what the input select is set to.   Only one speaker output pair may be selected at a time. The speaker   output level is control by the Monitor Level knob. The Cue Output is   unaffected by the Monitor Level, and switches to the Talkback signal   when the Talkback Switch is engaged.  Simultaneously, the Monitor Level   dims when the Talkback Switch is engaged.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  With all these features in a rugged 2U enclosure the Shadow Hills   Equinox is equipped for the demands of modern recording, but styled and   crafted to the high standards of a bygone era. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e This unit requires the Shadow Hills PSU.","brand":"Shadow Hills Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451061170279,"sku":"197754","price":3495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/shadow-hills-equinox-w-psu-414-used_197754_1_373b6d74-8cf1-4ead-8aad-235d16395d6f.jpg?v=1787095683","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/shadow-hills-equinox-w-psu-414-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
