DEVELOPMENT
IT ALL COMES INTO PLACE
Michael Zähl, former engineer and designer of the main custom made mixing console at the legendary Conny’s Studio and Mark Ernestus, long time producer known from projects like Basic Channel and Rhythm & Sound had a special encounter which led to the collaborative development of AM1 – the state-of-the-art pure analog mixing console.
LEGENDARY EQ DESIGN
Maximum musicality for sensitive enhancement or explicit treatment. 4-Band EQ plus LO CUT with special parameter features.
FULLY FEATURED STEREO CHANNELS
Comprehensive Input Matrix
MID/SIDE STEREO conversion at INSERT SEND/RETURN, continuously variable STEREO BASE
Dual PANORAMA Stage
SMART FUNCTION INSERT & DIRECT AUX
INSERT RETURN with continuously variable DRY/WET mixing for parallel compression, parallel EQing etc. or for use as channel-exclusive AUX RETURN when used in combination with DIRECT AUX, thus freeing up AUX busses when using an effect on one channel only.
DESIGN FEATURES
optimized for hands-on live mixing/real-time mixing
intuitive, user-friendly, mostly self-explaining layout
available in a wide range of formats: large recording console with numerous channels or small mixing desk (from 19″ width on!) in a musicians studio, PostPro or Mastering environment
no mic preamps in order to save cost and space (if you look at this console you presumably have your own favorite preamps)
connector panels equipped with XLR sockets, no need for multipin connector adaption
built with highest quality electronic and mechanical components
• CONSISTANTLY ANALOG APPROACH – TECHNICAL BASICS
super clean, lowest noise and distortion signal paths
additional audio switching on level potentiometers at CCW position for perfect off-isolation
additional audio switching on EQ gain potentiometers at mid position for bypassing unused stages
no VCAs
balanced summing
click-free audio switching using zero cross detection on parameters relevant when mixing live
no microprocessors, no clock pulses, sequential logic only
preserving on/off state of non-latching pushbutton switches in battery backed circuit
individual power stabilization on each module, no switched power circuitry
elaborate vent free external linear power supplyM1
