| Each input channel of the Crest Audio XR-24 offers four-band EQ with
18 dB-per-octave high-pass filters on the mono input channels. Additionally,
recording/studio-type features are included, such as insert points on
all inputs, subgroups, aux outs and left, right and mono outputs. There
are six aux buses, which are selectable pre- or post-fader in pairs. The
XR-24's main outputs use XLR type jacks and are switchable between mic
and line level. These features include a combination of 8 mono and eight
stereo inputs (a total of 20 inputs), all with mic preamps and switched
48 volt phantom power capability.
The Crest Audio XR-24 is designed to be used in a wide range of applications
including fixed installation, live sound reinforcement, project studio,
production facilities and broadcast. Each model features versatility and
quality typically found only on larger, more expensive desktop units.
The innovative Crest Audio XR-20
and XR-24 are very cost-effective when you consider their robust construction,
and exceptional performance specifications. The secret to the Crest Audio
XR-24's enormous flexibility is the number of features that Crest has
packed into the mixer and the high degree of quality and reliability engineered
into its design.
Crest's design team has added a level of quality never before seen on
a compact rack-mount mixer. Individual circuit boards are used for each
input channel and high quality components are employed throughout. Special
consideration has been given to the rejection of unwanted external signals,
including the use of AES-recommended grounding procedures. The X-Rack
Series mixers exhibit less than +/- 30 degrees of input-to-output phase
shift - the kind of engineering quality generally reserved for only the
most expensive studio consoles. One unique innovation is the fact that
these consoles are built on the front panel (utilizing individual circuit
boards), which allows the back panel to be removed, easily exposing each
module should repair be necessary.
