mx30e: tracking made pure and simple...
The MX30e is a 1U recording channel, designed for the sound engineer who wants a dedicated one box solution for their tracking sessions. It is also especially suited for ADR and post-sync recording applications in audio post production.
The unit is a classic yet contemporary blend of a number of Danfield Audios tried and tested designs - consisting of high performance microphone pre-amplifier circuitry, accurate filtering and for the first time ever - a mono version of our famous 726 compressor limiter.
The MX30e is fitted with a useful 'FLOAT' feature that allows the pre-amplifier and compressor to be isolated and then used as separate input and output devices in an expanded recording chain.
This allows the possibility of connecting an external mic pre amp to the MX30e compression circuitry for extended tracking applications - such as the multi-mic'ing of a snare drum (for example).
Furthermore, the filter can be selected to be used in three different modes of operation - post mic pre amp, post compressor or as a side chain filter.
There is a separate meter output that can be switched to meter post mic pre amp, post compressor. It also can be used to monitor the side chain input signal if required.
The system can be shipped with a Danfield remote mic gain control unit - so that the mic pre amplifier input gain of the MX30e can be adjusted 'on the fly' - without the engineer moving from the preferred listening position.
This is especially suitable for desktop recording studio applications, small voice dubbing rooms and ADR recording facilities.
