FEATURES
* The LA-119 is a system designed to fit up to 7 external units into a mastering chain.
* The LA-119 is completely and absolutely an analog design.
* Balanced inputs and outputs.
* The large linearity over 250 kHz and the very low distortion guarantee absolute quality.
* Very high headroom level allows the LA-119 to be used with analog signals (+ 4 dBu) and with the higher level signals used by digital converters.
* The standard analog level ( + 4 dBu ) is used for the inserts, allows you to use all the older generation analogical outboards
( eg compressors / limiters at FET ) that aren’t able to operate at a high signal level.
* The 7 insert are divided into 3 groups of 2 insert, each plus one.
* All switch routings are made with sealed relays and gold contacts.
* Each insert has DRY/WET control to allow parallel processing + a total DRY/WET.
* Separate input levels for LEFT and RIGHT channels with 12 steps controls (-2.5 dB / 3 dB with 0.5dB / step).
* 2 selectable class='acmetable' or summable inputs with balance control ( +/- 2 dB )
* Each imput has a pad ( 0/-6db ) features a 6 dB pad.
* The Level 0 is used for the signal coming from an analog mixer, level -6 dB is used for a signal from a digital converter.
* The 2 independent inputs allow to set up 2 jobs and to process 2 signals separately ( ex. voice and instruments ) then
mix and process the mix using insert group 3 and insert 4
* LA-119 has connections for 7 separate external insert units.
* There are 3 groups of 2 insert units each plus one final insert.
* LA-119 provides 2 modes of use: SERIAL or SPLIT
SERIAL MODE:
*The 2 inputs (selected or summed) are sent to group inserts 1/2/3/4 where they are connected in cascade.
SPLIT MODE:
Input 1 is sent to group insert 1
Input 2 is sent to group insert 2
With the SWAP control it is possible to move the outboards from group 1 to group 2 and vice versa
The 2 groups are selectable class='acmetable' or summable with balance control (+/- 2 dB)
Group 3 + insert 4 are common to the 2 channels after the sum.
* __GROUP 1__:
* 2 inserts ( A / B ), with dry/wet control for each one
* Swap ( from A-B to B-A )
* __GROUP 2__:
* 2 inserts ( A / B ) with dry/wet control for each one
* Swap ( from A-B to B-A )
* Swap ( from group 1-2 to group 2-1 )
* __GROUP 3__:
* 2 inserts ( A / B ) with dry/wet control for each one
* Swap ( from A-B to B-A )
* __INSERT4__:
* This last insert normally is dedicate for a final clip/limiter.
* Dry/wet control switchable from insert 4 only or input/output.
* Output level for both channels with a 12 stepped control ( -2.5 dB / +3 dB with 0.5 dB )
* 6 steps output level control for both channels ( -2 / 0 / +2 / +4 / +6 / +8 dB ) This control is used to raise up the standard +4dbu signal to
adapt it to the level required by the converters.
* Monitor out selectable class='acmetable' ( input / output / pre insert 4 ) In the OUT position is provided a trim to attenuate the highest level.
* The monitoring before and after insert 4 is scheduled because the final CLIP is always the most critical
* VU Meter out selectable class='acmetable' ( input / output / pre insert 4).
