Samson S Zone 4 Channel Zone Mixer - Box Opened

Full Description

Flexible Zone Control

Professional zone mixing with outstanding versatility. The Samson S Zone provides you with powerful multi-zone stereo mixing capabilities in a single rack unit. You can mix almost any audio signal with ease, including those from microphones as well as CD and tape plays, video plays, and more. You can then distribute an independent mix to any of the S Zone's four stereo zones. With the ability to assign each of the input channels to any or all of the four stereo zone outputs, the Samson S Zone provides you with outstanding flexibility for a wide variety of applications.

Intuitive Operation with Innovative Features

No matter what you're mixing, the Samson S Zone gives you a plethora of professional features to get the job done. Each of the microphone inputs can be set to 'duck' the zone inputs, allowing you to trigger automatic attenuation of the background music when making announcements or voice-overs during performances. Plus, on each of the outputs, a handy 2-band EQ lets you shape the tonal response of each zone to suit your needs. The outputs also feature a six-segment LED VU meter for each, providing you with quick visual feedback regarding the status of your sound.

It doesn't stop there though. The S Zone boasts a unique front-panel monitor section featuring a zone assignment switch, headphone jack, level control, and a handy internal super speaker. This allows you to monitor your signal from any zone directly on the S Zone, removing the need to be in the room that the original signal is coming from. And with handy scribe strips for the inputs and outputs, labelling your gear and rooms is a breeze.
