It uses no  active circuitry and provides no gain or level controls. The idea is to  control the level, panning, EQ, and effects sends of your mix from  within the DAW, and send as many as 16 different tracks or submixes to a  high quality multichannel outboard DAC which in turn feeds the Folcrom.  You then perform only the summing in the analog domain. This enables  you to maintain absolute repeatability from within your DAW.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach  of the Folcrom's input channels features a balanced connection on  standard 8-channel DB25 connectors and a pair of pushbutton switches to  assign that channel to the Left or Right output, neither, or both. The  output of the Folcrom is a stereo pair of balanced, 150-ohm signals on  XLR connectors and requires approximately 30-40dB of make-up gain  (program dependent). This signal is ideally suited for feeding into an  outboard microphone preamp of your choosing. The Folcrom is therefore  able to assume a wide variety of tonal character dependent on your  choice of amplifier. The Folcrom itself has an extremely simple, pure,  and transparent signal path. The absence of faders, EQ, aux sends, pan  knobs, or any other superfluous features allows for an entirely passive  circuit. There are no amplifiers, ICs, transistors, capacitors, or  transformers in the signal path whatsoever. The simplicity of the fully  balanced, symmetrical signal path allows the use of no-compromise  passive components for ultimate fidelity. The unit passes signals \"from  DC to daylight\" without coloration. The \"sound\" of your mixer is up to  you and your preamps. Chances are your mic preamps just sit there unused  at mixdown time anyway, so why not put them to work?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy  excluding the make-up gain amplifier from the Folcrom, RMS is able to  provide an ultimate quality summing buss without compromise and at a  price that's less than you paid for your car. At the same time, it  provides a unique opportunity for wide tonal control by allowing you to  choose your flavor of make-up gain. Put those old Telefunken or RCA tube  preamps to work when you want super thick warmth; or plug into your  Great River MP-2NV when you need pristine clarity.","brand":"Roll Music Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449514848359,"sku":"9071","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_roll_216_folcrum_cat_c4a0426a-f6cc-4bb4-b62a-22e39a3ff0b3.jpg?v=1787089275","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/roll-music-systems-216-folcrom-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
