The CP-6210 rack-mountable mixer provides six high quality channels, with a choice of five stereo line inputs, four RIAA phono inputs or two microphone inputs (switchable). Left, right and summed mono outputs are provided on both balanced XLR connectors and gold-plated RCA connectors for the mixer's house output. Also included are balanced 1/4" headphone jacks, RCA connectors for the booth monitor outputs, a switchable stereo effects loop and pre- and post-effects tape outputs.

All six input channels employ high quality controls for level, balance and source selection. On each channel, users can select from the primary input signal (four are switchable phono/line inputs and two are mono microphone/line inputs on balanced XLR connectors) or any of five common stereo aux line inputs. Bi-color LEDs indicate channel signal level, while a stereo cue system allows users to monitor any channel from the booth or headphone outputs.

Each of the five aux inputs has a rear-panel gain control for optimum signal matching, and the two microphone inputs include high and low frequency EQ controls, as well. The four-band EQ on the program bus allows users to perform overall sound shaping on the main mix.

When additional control is required, the CP-6220 expander can be added using a single ribbon cable. This processor provides a three-frequency, DJ-style band-pass EQ on each input channel, as well as assignment switches to the A/B crossfader buses or directly to the program bus. A smooth-feel, 45 mm crossfader allows users to easily switch between input sources. The taper control and A/B reverse switch give the operator total control over the behavior of the VCA crossfader. Four 12-segment, peak-hold, stereo LED meters are provided for monitoring the cue, program and crossfade A and B audio buses.

The CP-6210 and CP-6220 are now available from Authorized Crest Performance Dealers.
