Ultra Low-Noise
Design 32-Input 4-Bus Studio/Live Mixer with Premium Mic Preamplifiers and
Dual Digital 24-Bit Multi-FX Processor
The revolutionary new SL Series mixing consoles for the first time unite
studio perfection with live performance in one single mixer. They are loaded
with top-notch, no-compromise technology like studio-grade acoustically
“Invisible” IMP Mic Preamps, ULN (Ultra Low-Noise) circuitry,
dual 24-bit FX processors of VIRTUALIZER fame and the amazing new FBQ Feedback
Detection System. For the studio there are two high-end 24-bit FX processors,
incredible connectivity, an integrated talkback section plus comprehensive
solo-in-place and pre-fader-listen functions. For live performances, they
feature an ultra-musical 9-band stereo graphic EQ with the amazing FBQ Feedback
Detection System and even a mono subwoofer output with a sweepable low pass
filter. Another nice touch for live gigs: all mic channels can be muted
during breaks by pressing a single button, so music can be played via CD/tape
inputs without the mics picking up any sounds.
SL3242FX-PRO is the new full size SL Series mixing console with 32 channels
(24 mono plus 4 stereo). It features 4 subgroups and 2 pre/post switchable
and 2 post fader aux sends per channel, 3-band EQs with semi-parametric
mids and low cut filters for the mono channels, full-fledged high-headroom
stereo input channels with 4-band equalization plus additional stereo
input channels with level and pre-fader aux facilities. One for the Road
SL consoles are built with a super-sturdy metal cabinet that will withstand
even the most punishing tour conditions. They use our built-in, oversized
state-of-the-art auto-range power supply that automatically adapts to
mains voltages (from 100 to 240 Volts) wherever you go and is immune to
fluctuating mains voltages and spikes that you’ll find at most live
venues. Plus, due to its high efficiency, it consumes much less energy
than a conventional power supply so it runs a lot cooler.

| | |  Invisible Mic Preamp (IMP)
Five years in the making, the Invisible Mic Preamp (IMP) is a superior
mic preamp that delivers crystal-clear audio with incredible reproduction of
the slightest nuances. It matches or exceeds the performance of outboard mic
preamps. You get extreme bandwidth of 5 Hz to 100 kHz coupled to unusually neutral,
noise- and distortion. The BEHRINGER IMP provides ultra-linear frequency response up to 100 kHz. The result of perfect design. Almost unmeasurable distortion for your signal
integrity.
| | |  24 bit / 46 kHz
Digital recordings are often done at a depth of 16 bits, which breaks up the
dynamic range between the loudest and quietest portions of a signal into 65,536
steps. We use the finer resolution of 24 bits, which divides the signals’
loudest-to-softest dynamic range into 16,777,216 steps, allowing for far more
accurate rendering of the quieter parts of the audio.
Audio signals change constantly, so a digital device
must capture these changes as faithfully as possible. The higher the sampling
rate, the better. Our consoles use a sampling rate of 46,000 times per second.
To capture any given frequency, a digital signal’s sampling rate must
be roughly twice that frequency. The sampling rate of 46 kHz is more than adequate
for capturing all signals in the audible range—the human ear can not hear
the sounds whose frequency is higher than 20 kHz.

LIFE STARTS IN
THE MIXER SECTION
They may be compact and light, but our PMH powered mixers are also packed
with professional mixing features. Each mono channel sports separate MIC
and LINE inputs with our IMP “Invisible” Mic Preamps plus switchable
phantom power and pad (PMH660M & PMH880S), an ultra-musical 3-band EQ,
monitor and FX sends and a clip LED. The larger models even include channel
inserts. You also get an adjustable aux input, a stereo input for playback
equipment with a Voice Canceller function for karaoke applications, and
a stereo output for recording. The master section gives you comprehensive
control over main and monitor output signals, with features like 7-band
graphic EQ, switchable FBQ Feedback Detection and LED level meters. In addition,
you can select between stereo, double mono and bridged power amp modes.
The integrated speaker processing function adjusts the frequency response
to match professional speaker systems while the standby switch mutes all
channels so you can run your CD player without picking up background noise
from the mics. |
| | |  Ultra Low-Noise (ULN)
ULN stands for the Ultra low-noise design of our circuitry. It is based on extremely
low-impedance components that keep thermal inherent noise and crosstalk at an
absolute minimum. The result: your console is considerably less noisy and crosstalk
between neighboring channels is virtually non-existent. The result of perfect design (above). Almost unmeasurable distortion for
your signal integrity.
| | |  Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
Every console in the PRO series uses our state-of-the-art, over-sized, switch-mode power supply with lots of headroom. One of the great advantages is that (compared to conventional circuits) a switch-mode power supply adapts
to mains voltages between 100 and 240 volts automatically. Furthermore, due
to its much greater efficiency, it consumes much less energy than a conventional
supply unit. Even more important is the fact that conventional transformers
always induce 50 Hz hum (check it out on other mixers when you turn up all volume
controls). Our switch-mode supply operates at very high frequency and therefore
keeps the mixer "dead" quiet.
