Rane MLM 65 Mic/Line Mixer

The Rane MLM 65 Mic/Line Mixer is designed for easy manual mixing of up to 6 mic/line inputs and playback of one of several stereo audio sources, including modern USB audio and old school vinyl. Simultaneous digital audio recording of the manual mix to S/PDIF, TOSLINK and/or USB audio provides a formidable mixing ally in today's audio world. The MLM 65 features and topology are simple for non-technical operators, and it's dedicated USB Charge port supports the kids' MP3 players.

The MLM 65 provides 6 manually mixed mic/line XLR inputs each with a front panel Pan and Fader Level control, plus a window slot atop each input for installer-created labels. These inputs also have independent rear panel screw-driver Gain trims, Overload indicators, 12 volt Phantom Power and Mic/Line switches.

One of six stereo Aux inputs is selectable on the front panel with a Fader Level control for the selected source being mixed. A single large window slot for installer-created Aux source labels makes operation simple for newbies. The stereo Aux inputs include five consumer RCA inputs each with screw-driver input gain trim. The Aux 1 input provides an additional 3.5 mm stereo TRS jack and an adjacent dedicated USB Charge port for an iPod or other USB-powered audio device.

For audio sources requiring diamond needles drug through the spiral-grooved black lacquer discs of yore, the Aux 4 input's phono/line switch satisfies those addicted to the warm even-order harmonic distortion of phono cartridges. A large phono ground lug is nearby for added sheen.

The sixth Aux input enters via the USB Audio port. The MLM 65 registers as a standard USB audio device with either Windows or Apple OS, and both incoming and outgoing audio is stereo 16-bit, 48 kHz PCM. This accommodates pristine, far-beyond-CD-quality playback of audio from dozens of instantly compatible laptop software programs.

The front panel Headphone outputs on 1/4" and 3.5 mm TRS jacks have a dedicated meter with peak hold, rotary Level control and are fed audio from the selected/illuminated Cue button. Stereo headphone cueing of any mic, the selected Aux input or the Main mix is supported.

The Main Fader Level control and meter with peak hold on the front affects only the Main stereo XLR Outputs which sport a Mono switch. The stereo Record RCA outputs with screw-driver adjustable attenuator provide a local analog output for recording to MP3 players or nearby camcorders.

The three digital audio outputs of the mix are 24-bit / 48 kHz S/PDIF and TOSLINK, and 16-bit / 48 kHz USB audio. The same laptop can simultaneously playback and record via USB.

The MLM 65 contains an internal universal power supply (100-240 VAC). The unit is CSA certified.

All models include facilities for the individual adjustment of maximum voltage peak output and gain per channel, as well as bridge-mode operation selectable per channel pair. Advanced NomadLink® networking with remote monitoring and control facilities comes as standard.

Renkus-Heinz IC Live

Adaptable, Articulate, Invisible
Digital beam steering puts IC Live output where it belongs: on the audience, not walls or ceilings. Computer software lets you define the opening angles for as many as four sonic beams from each IC Live array module (up to 8 beams when stacked) and aim them up or down. Meanwhile, the slim enclosure stays vertical and inconspicuous. Two ICL-R modules can be stacked for even tighter control and higher output.

Powerful, Accurate, Musical
Iconyx transparent technology controls sound with DSP intelligence, not cumbersome brute-force techniques. Multi-channel class D digital amplifiers with Integral DSP engines control every single array element with programmable precision. High-current audiophile output stages power each light, efficient transducer in the Iconyx array individually. Even at 100 feet, SPL is an impressive105 dB (108 dB when stacked). Output is flat from 80 Hz to 20 kHz. Low frequency energy can be extended to 40 Hz or below with matching subwoofers.

Portable, Scalable, Versatile
Iconyx IC Live arrays are engineered for portable applications, with a comprehensive hardware system that makes setup simple. Two IC Live arrays can be combined for added output and control. When full range musical output is important to the program, one or two IC215-S dual 15-inch subwoofers can be added to either array. The subwoofers can act as tall or wide bases for IC Live arrays using the interlocking hardware system.

One-Touch Presets, Intuitive Software
RHAON empowered IC Live arrays provide a full set of remote control and supervision functions, along< with the ability to store up to ten preset configurations in memory. The presets adapt the arrays 150° wide horizontal coverage for typical applications such as hotel meeting rooms or auditoriums. For more complex situations, Iconyx BeamWare software makes it easy to shape the array’s coverage to the audience area.
