Both the 3124V and the 3124MV are designed with the professional
engineer in mind. Both units give four channels of the highest possible
quality mic preamp. However, the 3124MV provides an additional audio
mixer with a transformer balanced output, keeping the unit size and
price reasonable. Both models are equally at home in the control room,
studio, and recording truck or on stage.
The 3124MV utilizes the same microphone preamp circuit that is used
in all API consoles. It uses the RE-115 K mic input transformer along
with the same output transformer that is used in API equalizers. The
unit offers Variable Output Level Control, switchable 3:1 output
transformer selection, and an internal 48-volt phantom power supply,
which is front panel switchable for each channel. Also provided is a
front panel -20 dB pad switch that affects both the mic and line in. A
1/4" phone jack is available on the rear panel for each channel as an
insert tip-send/ ring-return placed between the mic pre amp output and
the mixer input.
Like the 3124V, the 3124MV provides up to 65 dB of gain. The Hi-Z
front panel input goes directly to the op-amp, allowing a low level
input such as a guitar or bass to be amplified without a matching
transformer or direct box. This Hi-Z input can accept input levels as
high as +20 dBu, making it perfect for keyboards and other high level
devices. The rear output is an XLR connector.
Additionally, the 3124MV adds a stereo panner with a level control,
and a post "fader" aux send. The stereo panners and the aux sends are
bussed to master output controls and then to the rear panel jacks. A
stereo AUX return is provided to return effects or cascade additional
mixers for more inputs. The unique stereo aux return control acts to
balance the left/right signal, yet staying stereo. It can also be used
as a mono return.
