Connecting The Pyra-Sum Passive Summing Mixer ...

Recently a customer asked for advice on how to connect the Prya-Sum to an XPatch. I looked at the specification of the Pyra-Sum it seemed to be a natural fit with the XPatch and that they would work well together. I decided to generate an example using the XPatch-64, Pyra-Sum, equalizers and Compressors. The XPatch-96 should be used for larger systems.

New Product: XP-Relay available later this year

New Product: XP-Relay available later this year

XPatch is designed to replace a physical patch bay, however the electronic versions cannot pass Phantom and can have noise issues. It is possible to implement smaller electronic path systems using relays as the switching element. The new XP-Relay range is designed to satisfy this market and will be available in 4 sizes.

XPatch : New 8 channel Microphone Boost Card

XPatch : New 8 channel Microphone Boost Card

All Electronic Patch bays have two problems with microphone or other low level sources are noise and crosstalk between low level and high level inputs.. For this reason CB have always and still maintain that for optimum performance the Mic Amp should be placed before the Patch bay.

Where this is not possible, the Microphone Boost Card provides a good compromise solution. Providing Eight Channels of 30dB of low noise gain at the input to XPatch enables dynamic and ribbon Microphones to be connected directly and by adding a external phantom supply phantom powered microphones. To use with line level sources simply add an in-Line attenuator.
