  CA500M Mastering EQ |
|||||||||||||
  The level and frequency settings use stepped switches making repetabliity easy. There is an input level control so you can adjust the audio signal before equalizing to help prevent clipping, and an output level control to readjust the gain of the signal with equalization. There are bypass and a phase reverse switchfor each channel. The EQ in switch turns the entire equalizer on or off. The high frequencies (8Khz, 10Khz, 12Khz, and 16Khz) can be switched between shelving or peak EQ with 10db of boost or cut in 2db discrete steps. The low frequencies (30hz, 60hz, 100hz,and 150hz) are shevling EQ with 10db boost or cutin 2db discrete steps. Mid 1 and Mid2 are peak equalizers with frquencies overlappingby 1/4 octaves and have up to 14db of boost or cut in 2db discrete steps . The high pass is an 18db per octave low cut filter variable from 30hz to 300hz. The HP filter switch allows on/off control independent of the EQ in switch. The circuits are designed to musical scales, not to mathematical relationships and the variable "Q" circuits maintain the tonal balance as the amplitude is adjusted.

 Transparency, Dynamic, Clarity and Wide Image.
I am a producer, a composer, and a mixer engineer and I mostly work with acoustic, vocal and instrumental classical music. I have tried serveral summing mixers before: SSL, Neve, Tonelux, Dangerous. Each one has interesting attitudes and coloration, depending on gain settings ect. The RED48 does not color but slightly sweetens the transients in a pleasant and sophisticated way, respecting, body and full dynamic of whatever material you send though it. I am actually summing 16 channels only, with fantastic results in terms of clarity, image and musicality. Soon I will be summing 40 channels. Many presttigious colleagues claim that the true benefits of summing start manifesting when working with (at least) 16 channels or above. The absence of faders and pan knobs might look like a limitation but actually makes mix recall fast and accurate. The stereo buss insert allows a limiter to glue your mix, for example. The remote controller is great. I just wish there was a mono switch, and this is the only minus I can think of. 4 stereo input-sources, alternate speakers, cue mix and talkback. I do not need a speakers manager so far. At this price, it is almost a miricale. Thank you Glenn Leo-Z from Los Angeles on April 15, 2016.

 A little bit of the history behind Coleman Audio. Tape Op article written by Holly Lane. |
 The years at MCI The years I spent at MCI were invaluable for my company Coleman Audio. Since MCI did everything in house I learned how it was done, from the begining to a final product, the right way. On line Tape Op article written by Holly Lane. |
 The new Coleman Audio QS8 takes control room management to the next level. In a tracking session it eliminates the latency issue and gives you cue mixing capabilities to satisfy the most demanding artist. More me in the headphones at the turn of a knob. Of course you need talkback so you can tell them to do it again. A talkback mic is included along with a slate output (trk 1, trk 2) and remote switching jack to activate the talkback. When it's time to mix the QS8 becomes an analogue summing box with four stereo inputs summing to a balanced stereo output you can record back to your DAW for the mix track. When you want to listen back it's passive signal path with stepped attenuator won't add any noise, or coloration, just your program. It's everything you need.. |
 Hey Glenn So here's a pic of my QS8 as the center hub of my setup. Allows me great flexibility bringing together two different converter card outputs, summed together for overdubs, mix downs, headphone cues and just simple routing. With digital where it is today, QS8 is the new high end "analog mixing board". Love it.
