{"product_id":"heritage-audio-mcm-8-mk2-demo-deal","title":"Heritage Audio MCM-8 MK2 (Demo Deal)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2015, Heritage Audio set a new standard in 500 Series enclosures with the addition of the OST technology. They then introduced the MCM8, a true transformer-based voltage summing mixer for 500 Series modules. Hundreds of units later, Heritage have taken customer's feedback and included it in the new version, the \u003cstrong\u003eHeritage Audio MCM8 MK2\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe main differences between this version and its predecessor are:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eExtra 500 series button per channel, allowing to bypass the 500 series module when mixing if desired. It also allows for quick comparisons in between processed\/unprocessed signals. It also makes using the mixer with empty slots quite easier. Just pressing the 500 button allows for this type of operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSignificant lower noise: A highly innovative, new quasi-balanced voltage summing topology sets the noise floor of the new MCM8 II touching the theoretical minimum. No more hiss into your mixes!\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eStanding for Music Compact Mixer 8, the MCM-8 MK2 is an 8 slot 500 Series enclosure with 10 channel mixing capabilities and it´s the Top of the Line of the new Heritage Audio “ON SLOT” Technology (OTS) 500 Series enclosures. ON SLOT TECHNOLOGY (OST) takes advantage of lastest generation power electronics to handle powering on a \"per slot\" basis. Each slot has its own power supply linear regulation stages; therefore, modules are isolated from the rest. They just share the metal enclosure. With literally hundreds of brands making 500 series modules, Heritage Audio believe that this is the most professional way of handling this reliably, eliminating issues often associated with sharing power between different modules of different brands and natures. Each slot features test LEDs for checking correct power operation (red for +16 V, green for -16 V), located aside from the slot connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the use of OST, the power capability of the MCM-8 II is 400 mA per rail per slot maximum, with an overall of 1.4 A (1.6 A non-continuous) per rail, whichever is reached first. Phantom power available is 140 mA total. The RAF Blue Gray enclosure is made out of heavy gauge steel with an aluminum front panel. There are Pan and Fader controls per slot on dual concentric potentiometers. Pan pots are center detent for precise center positioning. Features include an ON switch to assign each channel to the Mix Bus. The Mix Bus follows a passive, voltage summing topology, similar to that found in the 80 Series consoles of the 70s. The gain loss is restored by the same Class A, 2n3055 driven, transformer-based output stage used in the Heritage Audio 1073.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAn additional Stereo Input is provided on the back of the unit, allowing several MCM-8II units to be daisy chained, or signals not needing further 500 series processing to be mixed together. The central section has analog VU meters and a Stereo Master fader. Connections are made by means of both gold plated XLRs and DSUB25 Input and Outputs, with Standard Tascam protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Input Impedance: 20 kOhm\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input level: Over +27 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output level: Greater than +26 dBu into 600 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: ±0.5 dB 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTHD + N: Not more than 0.07% from 50 Hz to 10 kHz at +20 dBu output (80 kHz bandwidth) into 600 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-noise: -90 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOn Slot Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum audio rails current: 1.6 A per rail, or 400 mA per rail per slot, whatever is reached first\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum phantom power current: 140 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOperating voltage: 100-240 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450609332327,"sku":"143841","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/heritage-audio-mcm8-mk2_103906_1_1_782fa339-9420-441f-b3a2-e19e4364a3c4.jpg?v=1787093746","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/heritage-audio-mcm-8-mk2-demo-deal","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
