Essentially the M-1264, in its 2 rack spaces, can be easily set up to function as anything from a single mono or stereo mixer to up to FIVE independent mono mixers (with a sixth somewhat dependent mixer). For example, in a health club the M-1264 can simultaneously and separately control: stereo disco in the aerobics room, pop music in the weight room, classical in the pool and the easy listening station in the locker rooms and reception, plus selective paging to all areas, including an emergency page mic from each location back to a speaker in the reception desk.

This kind of multi-tasking capability, in a single unit, is perfect for a variety of systems including boardrooms, conference rooms, discos, health clubs, restaurants, offices, background music systems, music clubs, and hotel systems. For example it is a great mixer for multi-media portable systems or as an outboard mixer for touring systems, taking up only one input on the main console for 4 stereo sources plus six additional mic inputs. In hohel systems, it can function as an economical, manually controlled ballroom combiner for up to four rooms. It is ideal for multi-zone background music/paging systems. You can even use it to set up four zones of mix-minus-one microphone mixing, with program and selected mic inputs to all zones, plus a fifth output with a sum of all the inputs.

The M-1264 has 5 sets of outputs, each with their own level control: Stereo main, stereo Group, mono Aux, stereo Cue/ Monitor, and a Sum output (provides a mono mix of the main Stereo output). The Stereo and Group, while still providing their own output signals, can be alternately assigned to each other as a sub-group using a rear panel switch. The Cue/Monitor output can be used for monitoring the Stereo output or it can function as an independent mixer using the cue bus, or it can be used as a L/R mono Cue to pre-listen to any combination of inputs-a must for discos or live mixing.

The M-1264 has 11 sets of inputs: 6 electronically balanced, mono Mic/Line inputs, 4 unbalanced, stereo/mono Line inputs and a stereo/mono “sub” line input that feeds the Stereo mixing bus. Each of the first 10 inputs is controlled by a single front panel knob. The Mic/Line (using a Left/Center/Right switch) and Line inputs are always assigned to either the Group or Stereo outputs and can be independently assigned to the Aux and Cue outputs. All inputs have an On/Off switch that shuts off the signal to the Stereo and Aux outputs but not the signal assigned to the Cue output. A bonus feature is that a mono source plugged into only the right channel of any stereo input is automatically fed to the left input as well.

Each Mic/Line input has a built in automatic compressor with a front panel indicator that activates about 3dB below internal clipping. This not only serves as an excessive signal indicator but can virtually eliminate input and output overloads. These inputs also feature switchable phantom power and a switchable high pass filter in microphone mode to reduce directional microphone proximity effects. Optional input transformers are available if needed for long wire runs or ground isolation.

Features

• Matrix mixing of mono and stereo inputs to up to six separate outputs.
• Four true stereo inputs-one input knob controls both left and right channels.
• Mic/Line inputs with a built in compressor on each to prevent input/output clipping.
• High pass filter on mic inputs for speech applications.
• Remote control of the Stereo and Group outputs using momentary up/down switch contacts.
• Connectors include XLR for balanced in/outs and, RCA and 1/4” for unbalanced in and outs.
• Back panel switch for using either stereo output as a sub-group or the Group out as additional sub input to the Stereo output.
• Front panel headphone jack.
• Occupies only 2 rack spaces.
