The
FP410E has numerous applications in video production
and
audio
recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement.
In
any speech
pickup application where multiple microphones
are
required, the FP410E dramatically
improves audio quality
.
Switching
from manual to automatic operation
allows an indi
-
vidual talker’s voice to rise above the background noise and
reverberation
to become clearer and more intelligible.
Each
FP410E handles up to four microphones or line–level
signals. Any high quality, low–impedance, balanced micro-
phone using a dynamic or condenser* transducer (including
wireless
and shotgun types) can be used. Additional FP410E
mixers
can be interconnected using the rear–panel link
jacks.
Complete
manual operation is also available using a
front–pa
-
nel selector switch..
The
FP410E is supplied with optional bumpers (feet) for use
on horizontal surfaces, a short cable for linking two FP410E
mixers, and a rack–mounting kit for installation in a standard
483
mm (19–inch) audio equipment rack..
The FP410E is supplied for 230 Vac operation (line fuse
0.05
A) and its line cord is terminated by a Schuko ac plug.
*Self–powered
or operable on 14 or 48 Vdc phantom power
.
