Trident Audio S100 8-Channel Mixer

The S100 boasts a warm and musical sound with straightforward layout and spotless construction as well as classic Trident EQ from John Oram and a smooth, pure-analog signal path. It's perfect for any digitally processed audio path. It packs 8 mic/line inputs, 3 stereo buses, 8 phantom powered mic preamps, and direct outs on each channel into a 9-space, all-steel rackmount unit.

Each channel features an XLR mic/line input, TRS line input, an unbalanced RCA line input, a 1/4" send/receive insert, and a 1/4" direct output. Separate knobs control the level for each input, and there are switches for mic/line select, 48V phantom power, and phase reverse, plus a peak LED. The mic pre provides +50dB of gain.

The EQ section provides a sweepable low-cut filter, a fixed high-frequency shelf, a sweepable mid EQ, a fixed low-frequency shelf, and a switched high-cut filter. Each channel also features 3 post-fader and 2 prefader auxiliary sends, a stereo pan knob, 3 stereo bus assign switches, a solo switch (with LED indicator), and a large rotary fader.

The master section features a 9-LED level meter and main stereo bus level while the 2 aux stereo busses each have level, solo, and assign controls. The 3 stereo returns each have level controls. The master section I/O, except a headphone jack, are male 1/4" connections on a break-out cable.

A D-sub connection allows up to 20 S100s to be linked together.
