I highly suggest anyone looking into a reliable (dual psu and robust circuit board construction), great sounding, powerful mixing board get a demo. I know it's at the top of my Christmas list.

I got to spend a couple of minutes with a board at the shop when the local rep dropped it by. I would LOVE to mix a show on one of these. Just with a 58 and a set of headphones I was impressed.
Nice photos. I really like the board butt shot and the pickle.

I wanted to add a quick note about using the Spectra as a monitor mixer. I fielded 6 mixes and a stereo recording mix off this baby just last week and it was a joy. The high-contrast color scheme really paid off, and the conversion from "FOH desk" to "Monitor desk" was seamless. Having VCAs was really nice.
My only complaints:
- Wedge output is 1/4", not XLR
- Aux out pots start at -20, for many sources I found I needed slightly less than that, so tweaking the right level was a matter of breathing in the right places
For medium sized companies, a matched pair of Spectra Ts would be a hell of an asset. The narrow cut mode on all four bands of swept EQ also gives the operator a whole new level of versatility at this price point.

You mean the sum of LCR output? I didn't see a dedicated cue wedge output.| Quote: |

|
What? Don't the pots have an fully off position? Maybe you mean the level jumps quickly up to -20 with a very small movement of the pot. There wouldn't be a very easy workaround if that were true.
|
You're right on both counts, Bink. I mean the sum of the LCR monitoring path output, and that there's just a few degrees between -inf and -20dB, with half of the control between -10 and +6.

I called APB today about ordering a 32 channel Spectra-C with 24 inputs to the left and 8 inputs to the right.. Negative. 32 channel consoles are only available with 16 on the left and 16 on the right. I was pretty mad, but after hearing that I can get an MH2 the way that I want, all is good now.

You're right, John, I had double checked that with APB after leaping to a conclusion and they confirmed that there was no way to do it. My apologies.

I know this might be silly, but what about getting a 40 frame, but short loaded with 32 inputs? If they don't offer a 8 channel blank panel, I have no problem making one.

Just a quick update... for those of you who haven't read it, Paul Bell is waxing ecstatic about a Spectra T he installed in a club in NYC in this thread: http://srforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/t/17751/437/
