Sonosax SX-42 Already selected by the International Forum Design! The result of a collaboration between Philippe Cahen, Antoine Cahen (ADN Design, Switzerland) and Jacques Sax. The SONOSAX SX-42 is a ENG/EFP mixer of the lastest generation. Thanks to 25 years of experience, Sonosax was able to develop and build this mixer, which was designed to have a minimum life-span of 10 years, despite an intensive use under the worst conditions. It can be used in rain and is resistant to water splashes. It also corresponds to the IP45 standard. The case is in eloxed aluminium, the potentiometers are watertight IP45, the "reed" type switches are watertight and airtight. All capacitors are of professional type, with lo-indipendence and a long life-span. After having presented the SX-42 and discussed with users, Sonosax also decided to add M/S possibilities, not only on the monitoring but also on the main outputs. As a result, the inputs 1 (M) and 2 (S), and respectively 3 (M) and 4 (S) include a switchable M/S matrix. So that, if faders are linked, the stereo width will be fixed, and if they're not, the stereo width can be adjusted by using the faders independently. To fulfil some customers' requests, they also decided to offer the possibility to add an equalizer on one or two channels. This option is accessible at the bottom of the SX42 and includes: Lo frequency equalizer: 4dB/oct, ±12dB at 80Hz, ±15dB at 40 Hz Hi frequency equalizer: 4dB/oct, ±12dB at 8kHz, ±15dB at 16kHz Mid sweep equalizer: 6dB/oct, ±11dB, 200Hz to 8kHz This option limits the inside space and then the possibility to include other accessories like a transmiter or a receiver. Check carefully with Sonosax what kind of options you want to include. Metering: 2 indicators with mobile coil, large range of -32dB to +12dB, selectable inside in mode VU or Peak, compensated in temperature and closed at the front by tempered glasses. Internal power supply: 4 alkaline batteries 1.5V size D, NiCd 1.2V-4Ah, or NiMH 1.2V-7Ah accumulator Autonomy: 10 to 15 hours Dimensions: 10.2" (260 mm) x 6.2" (160 mm) x 1.9" (50 mm) Weight: 4.6 Lbs (2.1 kg) with batteries Temperature using range: -40°F (-40°C) to 140° F (60° C) Internal accessories: possibility to include 1 transmitter and/or 1 HF receiver (depending on the size). In this case, the audio connections are done inside. The receiver connector(s) are designed to be on the "user panel" on the right side of the unit. A high quality A/D converter of 24 bits 48 kHz/96kHz is available. For the internal accessories, a separate power supply is also foreseen and switching on the unit starts simultaneously the internal accessories.   View the User Manual Price:  £3,712.00 (Excluding: VAT at 17.5%)

Sonosax PR The SONOSAX SX-PR is one of the smallest and most lightweight stereo mixers available today. All that is needed for powering are 3 C-cell alkaline batteries of 1.5V or NiCad accumulators. An ingenious feature of this modular system is its adaptability to adapt for right or left-handed users. The master module with the metering may be installed on either side of the mixer. Like all other SONOSAX manufactured devices, the SX-PR has been built using only professional components (conductive plastic potentiometers, switches and connectors with goldplated contacts, etc.) to ensure unparalleled levels of quality, performance and reliability. In addition, the switches and potentiometers are air-tight and thus dust protected. All these features, together with very demanding SONOSAX standards, have resulted in a mixer that meets the needs of News reporting (ENG/EFP) where reliability, size and weight make all the difference whether recording indoors or outdoors. And, to top it all, thanks to the updated electronic characteristics of modern techniques, this tiny little mixer is ALL SET FOR DIGITAL RECORDING! Connected with an R-DAT recorder this equipment enables stereo sound recording of an extremely high quality. This mixer ships with 2, 4 or 6 inputs, with or without an optional M/S decoding matrix on the headphone output.

Sonosax SX-ST / SX-VT This new generation of panel or desk type mixer from Sonosax builds on years of experience of building and designing mixers for location film and tv work. The SX-ST is probably the most expensive mixing desk on the market of its type, but it does not want to compete on price either. It is based on quality of design and manufacture that is unrivaled and unmatched. This new range includes 8/10/12/16/24/32 inputs (stereo input optional), 8 main busses, 4 auxiliary busses, a complete monitoring section with 5 LED-meters, a complete communication system with 2 private lines. The SONOSAX SX-ST is available in 8 and 10 channels, or 8 channels with 8 DIGITAL outputs. Powered from batteries, or external 12 to 18V. The SX-ST8D (with the Digital Outputs) can also be optionally fitted with an internal Hard Disk/CF 8-track digital recorder. The SONOSAX SX-VT is available on 12, 16,24 and 32 channels, with main power. Unlike equipment based on cheap manufacturing, low cost and short life, each component is carefully selected upon its performances and long life duration, with no compromise in order to save on the costs. Also, mixer components undergo stringent testing during each stage of manufacturing and assembly. This mixer will give you years of good service and will either mate with an existing 8-track recorder via the AES outputs or provide 8-track recording with the optional recording module. The flexibility and configurability of this desk will stand you in good stead for a long time to come! A true marvel! Check the Sonosax Website for furhter details on this range - the permutations are vast and probably too complicated for us to list here in one place. If you need assistance on deciding what you need and how to have it configured then please call us on 029 2034 2907.   View the User Manual
