Dark Side of the Camera
I have a chance to get my hands on a Eng.TW LP44 4 mixer by Wolf Istvan.
Never heard of that, thou the specs looking good in my book but I´m not an audio guy - so the question at all the sound gurus - is it any good?
Thanks, Frank
SPECIFICATIONS
Frequency response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz ± 2 dB
Distortion: less than 0.2 % THD S/N ratio > 65 dB (EIN: –125 dBv)
Maximum output level: +18 dBu Low-cut Filters: 80 or 160 Hz, 14 dB / octave Internal batteries: AA cells or NP1 Size: 255 x 165 x 65 mm 10 x 6.5 x 2.6 in Weight: 2,0 kg (4.5 lbs) without batteries
FRONT PANEL 4 / 4 switch: with channel 1 switched in L, channel 2 switched in R, the four inputs can be controlled independently to the four outputs.
On the meters, the L–R or 3–4 channels’ levels are shown, depending on the meter select switch position.
The four mixed signs can be heard with monitor switch in L+R position
PWR LED: lights when power is on, flashes for low power Two headphone jacks Peak modulometers always show the level set, while meter LEDs, if limiter is on for the channel, indicate when gain reduction is occurring Slate microphone pushbutton Headphone monitoring selector Reference 1 kHz sine wave generator switch
Battery test pushbutton Pan switches: Right, Mono, Left, Stereo – channels 1 & 2 can be independently linked for stereo mode Limiter switches separately for each channel Direct / Tape switch for return 1 & 2 Low-cut filter switches Pre-fade listen pushbuttons Master fader
INPUT PANEL Four balanced XLR inputs Mic power selectors 48V, 12V, T Mic / Line level switches Attenuation –10 dB pad Phase reverse channel 2 & 4 Phantom power on-off switch Optional NP1 battery holder switchable for internal or NP1 OUTPUT PANEL Four XLR transformer balanced outputs Hirose 10 pin connector to camera Neutrik 4 pin connector for charger and external power Mic / Line switches, RTN return select switch Mono mix to the video assist, IFB 3.5 Jack monitor in for tape return from camera Hi12pin connector for unbalanced outputs and RTN include Cable to Camera (stereo) 2x accu NP 1x power supply 1x accu charger 1x softbag
