Description
CMC was the first mixer to make computer aided
mute and routing automation available at a
price that smaller 8, 16 and 24 track studios
could afford. The original design was upgraded
to the MKII - see FAQ section below for details.
The CMC was wholly designed by current Allen
& Heath Managing Director, Glenn Rogers.

CMC FAQS
Q: What's the difference between the CMC MKI
and CMC MKII and how do I tell them apart?
A: The easiest way to tell them apart is to
check the base panel under the console. In
CMC MKI this was plastic, but was changed
to metal in CMC MKII. A number of improved
features were added to the MKII, including:
- a SUB switch on the return channels left/right
MONO switching
- a DIM function Mk2 has
- stereo CUE output with talkback to CUE and
auto-DIM functions provided
- a comprehensive TALKBACK section for talking
to L-R, SLATE (outputs 1-16), auxes 1-6 or
CUE outputs
- computer interface connector is wired to
accept the CMR remote controller allowing
MIDI synchronisation
- optional +4dBu stereo and multitrack tape
matching
Several performance improvements were also
made, including extended MID frequency sweep,
increased monitor and aux output gain and
improved noise performance. |
