GearBox 18/6 Overview

GearBox • 18/6

• SUMMARY - The GearBox 18/6 is a 18 input, 6 output, CobraNet Networked Automixer with a fully integrated PoE switch. Perfect for small venues who want the advantages of networked audio without breaking the budget. Oh yeah, it interfaces seamlessly with other Attero Tech products, as well as all other CobraNet products.
• INPUTS & OUTPUTS - The GearBox has 18 audio inputs. Sixteen come from any source on the CobraNet network. Two local analog inputs accommodate legacy devices like wired or wireless mics, or other line level analog sources. Of the six outputs, four are digital, back to the CobraNet network and two are legacy analog outputs can provide audio to non-network devices.
• AUTOMIXING - The GearBox features a proportional gain automixing system, which is insensitive to changes in background noise and is completely inaudible in operation. Every multi-mic installation will benefit by having less feedback and more intelligible audio with the GearBox Automixer on the job.
• DSP - All inputs have gain control, filtering, full automixing, and EQ. All outputs have a 2-band fully parametric filter, gain control and an adjustable limiter. There's also a full 18x6 mixer.
• REMOTE CONTROL - Input and output gains can easily be remotely controlled using the single-gang wall mount RV-1 Remote Volume Control. There’s also built-in support for room combining up to 4 rooms with the RC-4 Remote Room Combining Control. And you can also control the GearBox with third party remote controls.
