Kylie James, from leading ARX Dealer
SoundCorp has supplied Melbourne University
with 50 units of the new ARX UniMix AV/Podcast
mixer.
Developed in conjunction with the
Information Services Department at Melbourne University the
UniMix forms the main hub of their Systems upgrade to
provide downloadable recordings - podcasts - of lectures and
classes for students to access on the Universities local
area network. These recordings are taken from classrooms and
lecture theatre sound systems and saved to a computer in
real time.
The UniMIX features Six Balanced
XLR Mic / Line input channels with individual level
controls, plus a dedicated stereo RCA jack Line In channel
and switchable Phantom Power. Multiple outputs are provided
for the main sound system as well as transformer isolated
recording and remote monitoring.
Several problems are normally faced in
this type of application. Getting the correct recording
level is difficult, given that the level requirements are
different to those of loudspeaker systems and maintaining a
steady input level to the computer requires continual
monitoring to prevent digital overload.
ARX's design team have overcome these
problems by integrating new Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) circuitry into the Unimix's transformer isolated
independent Recording output. Specially tailored parameters
ensure that audio levels remain constant, irrespective of
Microphone placement and user technique. The result is a
consistent level for the recording, providing increased
intelligibility, removing the need for full time monitoring
and the risk of overload and distortion.
