Description

The Adastra 1U mic/line rack mixer with switchable phantom power is a compact and versatile audio mixing solution designed for professional installed sound systems and commercial AV environments. Featuring six mic/line inputs and multiple auxiliary connections, it provides flexible signal management within a space-saving 1U rack format.

Engineered for applications such as conference rooms, hospitality venues, education spaces, and houses of worship, this mixer delivers reliable performance and straightforward operation for both installers and end users.

Flexible Input Configuration for Multi-Source Systems

The mixer provides six balanced mic/line inputs, each with individual level control, alongside two stereo auxiliary inputs for connecting music sources such as media players, laptops, or mobile devices.

This allows:

• Multiple microphones and audio sources to be connected simultaneously
• Centralised control of background music and speech
• Simplified system design without additional mixing equipment

Each channel can be configured independently, making it suitable for mixed-use environments.

Individually Switchable Phantom Power

Each mic/line input features switchable phantom power, enabling compatibility with both dynamic and condenser microphones.

This provides:

• Greater flexibility when selecting microphones
• Improved audio quality for presentations and speech
• Adaptability across different installation requirements

This feature is particularly useful in conference and presentation environments where microphone types may vary.

Comprehensive Output Connectivity

The mixer includes multiple output options to ensure seamless integration into professional audio systems:

• Balanced stereo XLR outputs for connection to amplifiers
• Mono jack output for additional routing
• RCA record output for recording or system expansion

This range of outputs allows the mixer to function as either a central control unit or part of a larger audio system.

Designed for Installed Sound Systems

Built specifically for commercial AV installations, the mixer is suitable for use as both a master mixer or an expansion unit within larger systems.

Typical applications include:

• Conference rooms and meeting spaces
• Bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues
• Schools, lecture theatres, and education facilities
• Houses of worship and public buildings

Its straightforward layout ensures ease of use while maintaining professional functionality.

Tone Control and Audio Shaping

Master bass and treble controls allow overall tonal adjustment, enabling the system to be tuned to suit different environments and speaker setups.

This ensures:

• Balanced sound across different room types
• Improved clarity for speech and music
• Quick system adjustments without external processing

Dual Power Options for System Reliability

The mixer supports both standard mains power and 24V DC operation, allowing integration into backup power systems or safety-critical installations.

This is particularly beneficial in:

• Emergency paging systems
• Public address systems
• Critical infrastructure environments

Compact 1U Rack Design

With its standard 19-inch 1U rack format, the mixer is designed for efficient installation in AV racks and cabinets. Its compact footprint allows it to be deployed in space-constrained environments without sacrificing functionality.
