Spirit Digital 328 Users Guide Version 2
INTRODUCING THE SPIRIT
DIGITAL 328
Okay so what should a digital mixing console be? Should it be something that
basically requires you to relearn the way you work on a mixer, with pages and
pages of menus offering a lot of great features, but many that you will never really
use? Perhaps it should have a combination of buttons and a data wheel where
previously you found a simple pan control, or maybe it should have faders that can
become auxiliary sends instead of good old auxiliary pots as before! No, we must
disagree, we don't think this is the way to design a digital mixer at all.
Like you, we believed in a mixer that firstly, looked like a normal mixer, and
secondly did not require hours of diligent study to get a signal in at one end, and
out at the other! Speed is so important, both in the studio and at live
performances/broadcasts, that we focused on this as our prime aim.
Like you we wanted dedicated pan controls on each channel plus simple and
familiar functions like EQ In/Out, Phase In/Out, Channel Mute, dedicated Aux and
FX send pots full metering and silky smooth 100mm long throw faders! Add to
this fully parametric EQ - with real knobs - on every channel, two warm sounding
Lexicon FX processors and two great assignable stereo dynamics processors, plus
a few extras like 24 bit 128 x oversampling A/Ds and D/As, machine control, built
in ADAT and TDIF 16 channel interfaces and more! Well, we had to do it! So we
designed and built you the Spirit digital 328 mixer - enjoy it!
THE INS AND OUTS OF THE 328
Analogue Inputs
The Spirit Digital 328 offers 16 Mic/Line inputs, using Spirit's highly acclaimed Ultra
Mic Pre-amps. A Global Phantom Power, applying 48V to all 16 Microphone
inputs, is accessed by pressing the PHANTOM POWER switch.
All Mic/Line Inputs have an Insert point, Gain control and High Pass Filter. A
further 5 Stereo Inputs are also available, and all of the above inputs feature 24 bit
128 x oversampling A/D converters. All have full access to the revolutionary
E-Strip which offers 3 band fully Parametric Equalisation, 4 Auxiliary Sends, 2
Effects Sends (routed to 2 x internal Lexicon FX Processors) and a Pan control.
There are also two additional pairs of Stereo 2 Track Inputs for connecting
playback machines such as cassette decks and analogue 2 track recorders.
The 2 TDIF inputs can
also be converted to
function as 8 additional
analogue or 4 digital
stereo AES/EBU inputs
with the addition of Spirit's
external rack mount
converter boxes.
