DESCRIPTION
The new UMX.96 digital console offers 24-bit, 96-kHz performance
with expandable 56 x 44 analog I/O, 3 x 12 integrated system
processing, and the first full integration of the Smaart measurement
and analysis platform.
The master section combines a 15-inch touch-sensitive LCD display
with a tactically dynamic rotary encoder that is able to change its
“feel” depending on the specific parameter selected via the touch
screen. The master section also incorporates 8 Penny & Giles VCA
faders that bring the VCA masters or other desired channels to the
center of the mixer for convenient access.
The channel section of the UMX.96 includes 48 Penny & Giles
touch-sensitive faders arranged in 2 stacked rows of 24. These
provide dedicated control of all 48 input channels simultaneously or
can be assigned in master groups of 8 to specific sections. Tri-color
Channel Assign buttons provide at-a-glance indication of current
channel assign functions for Mute Groups, VCAs, Aux/Groups,
internal effects, and more, with each group of 8 channels offering an
associated scribble strip that displays the custom channel name and
V-Pot (virtual potentiometer) information.
The 3 x 12 system processor offers EQ, crossover, delay and limiter
algorithms, allowing multi-way system alignment, audio distribution
and zoning directly from the mixer. Recallable presets allow the user
to optimize crossover, EQ and alignment settings. Powerful internal
hard drive memory provides virtually unlimited snapshot, venue, and
preset storage.
The Smaart measurement capabilities provide instant system
measurement and calibration. When selected, an input or output
feeds Smaart, which in turn provides measurement data on the EQ
screen in order to show the instant effects of the EQ on the signal.
The user can choose to view this information in RTA or Spectrograph
form. An LCD SPL meter provides constant dB-SPL display from the
supplied RTA-420 measurement mic.
The standard UMX.96 configuration includes 48 digitally controlled
mic preamps with balanced TRS send and return inserts and a
TRS direct output. Each input channel has a gate, compressor,
and 4-band EQ with dedicated HPF and LPF, while outputs feed a
4-band EQ, compressor/limiter, and 31-band graphic EQ which can
also display Smaart information. Eight stereo line inputs on dual XLR
connectors feed a stereo compressor and EQ.
The 16 x 8 Matrix Plus facilitates digital patching of any input or bus
signal into the matrix. The system processor outputs are typically fed
by the Left, Right and Center outputs, but these offer flexible routing
of any output signal to any of the 12 XLR outputs.
The modular design of the UMX.96 has been conceived with easy
field serviceability in mind, and the console’s external power supply
offers standard redundant operation.
