User manual SOUNDCRAFT BROADWAY BROCHURE

[. . . ] Big ideas. S ound designers are accustomed to being asked for the impossible. Today's top dramatic and musical productions call for large sound reinforcement systems, sophisticated cues and effects, and crystal-clear sound reproduction. [. . . ] Outputs come in modular rack form so you may add further outputs as required, to suit even the most complex system design. No matter how you configure your audio racks, you are still free to put together whatever combination of input and master control surfaces best fits your system requirements and your space constraints. You can even add more control surfaces during rehearsals, then cut back to a basic control configuration for the production or for taking the show on the road. Motorised moving faders are used throughout, while powerful snapshot automation helps both the sound designer and engineer to achieve their creative goals. An unlimited number of `cues' are available to reset the desk, recalling not just the routing and EQ, but the complete desk configuration right down to a custom control layout for each scene or sound cue. F amiliarity and ease of use are also strong points of Broadway's design, combining traditional mixer hardware with the complete assignability required by such a flexible design. The Input Control Surface features 20 moving faders, each with metering, assignable rotary faders and dedicated switches for key functions on 20 different channels, plus an Assignable Channel Strip for display and control of every parameter on a single channel. An unlimited number of Input Control Surfaces can be used. The Master Control Surface features dedicated VCA (control group) and master output faders, plus rotary and linear Matrix/Graux faders, and comprehensive monitoring and talkback facilities. A high-brightness touchscreen is used for a variety of on-line and off-line system functions. Adding the VCA Extender surface, based on the Input surface frame, provides an extra 12 VCA group faders, plus 20 assignable meters. Any number of 19" x 18U Input Audio Racks can be specified for a Broadway system, each rack containing 4U and 6U Eurocards that handle input, EQ and routing for up to 40 input channels. Despite its cuttingedge design, Broadway retains an entirely analogue signal path.
