Key Features
Product Ref: 39501
The PRE420 offers the lowest intermodulation distortion available, with innovative circuitry that gives ultra-low distortion and RF-immunity even in the most demanding environments. The wide bandwidth of 500kHz creates a significant demand for exceptional RF filtering and shielding, which is fulfilled by Benchmark with innovative shielding and filtering techniques, including a special construction technique on the circuit board that creates a 3-dimensional shield to surround all signal traces.
The solo section allows monitoring of any channel or combination of channels via the control room XLR outputs and the integrated HPA2™ headphone amplifier. Monitoring of the main mix bus XLR outputs is via a dual, variable intensity signal level meter and peak-warning indicator. Each channel has an independent direct XLR output, a variable intensity signal level meter and peak-warning indicator, and MirrorPan™ pan control.
MirrorPan™ boasts innovative mirrored-circuitry that eliminates the non-linear distortion from potentiometer wiper-current. This gives excellent channel separation and accurate imaging. The factory-calibrated centre-detent position ensures precise centre-placement.
