The MR88 is billed as an effective solution for a variety of audio installations where multiple microphones are in use together and where there is a need to eliminate the requirement of a live operator. The mixer is based on the successful MR66 and includes a number of new features which have been developed following feedback from Clockaudio clients.
The MR88 incorporates advanced DSP technology and has been designed to give outstanding performance and flexibility while maintaining simplicity of set-up and use. Eight input channels, fully adjustable for microphone and line level, can be set up to be put on to either or both of the two output channels.
Active input channels can be automatically detected. Each input channel can be set to a multi-level priority system. This allows 'one at a time operation', 'all channels active' or combinations with chairman priorities. When no-one is talking, a constant ambient sound can be maintained through the system by setting the last microphone selected to automatically stay on. Mixers may be chained together to make a large multi-source system with priority and NOMA information extended throughout. With two independent channel busses provided, the MR88 can be used as a genuine 8 x 2 mixer.
