M3 Models and Options

M3 Models and Options

There are 3 basic M3 models, all great for working with analogue processors and sources.

Each model has identical monitoring facilities, but a different number of inputs and record inserts. As the number of inputs and inserts grow, some extra features become available and the size of the control panels also increases.

Between these 3 models, we can accommodate the vast majority of your mastering needs.

The three models are:

• M3-3AI (M3 with 3 analogue inserts)
• M3-7AI (M3 with 7 analogue inserts)
• M3-11AI (M3 with 11 analogue inserts)

All models have our excellent monitor controller, but this table shows you the difference between the 3 basic models:

 In addition for each console, you can specify any of these options:

• -TP:  dual stereo trimmer module and MS controller. For pre and post level control and MS manipulation. This module also can mix parallel inserts together
• -DA: our excellent internal DACs, ideal for monitoring or recording conversion
• -AD: our equally excellent ADCs, ideal for recording conversion
• -BM: true bass management for additional subwoofers, mono or stereo
• -DS: digital speaker output for driving digital speakers
• -VU: stereo analogue VU meters, with built in attenuator for correct operation. Available in 2RU or standard front panel package
• -TB: stereo talkback module, for talkback mix or replace of stereo cue feeds
• -GP: GPIO control panel to send and receive up to 8 contacts
• -CN: connector kits, Dsubs, XLR patchbays, or snakes
• -KT: mounting kits, wooden pods, 19" mounting or mount in studio furniture

Beyond these options we have a full custom department that can modify an M3 to be virtually anything you want!
