January 19, 2001Shure Incorporated today unveiled the new AuxPander, an auxiliary send expander
for mixing consoles. Designed for touring musicians and sound engineers, the device
is a flexible, cost-effective solution for when more aux mixes are needed.
AuxPander is the perfect compliment for standard mixing consoles because it
increases a console's output capabilities. The unique product allows users to
turn any mixer into an 8-bus console.
"The AuxPander is a great solution for anyone who suddenly finds themselves
in need of more Aux sends," stated Scott Sullivan, Shure's Category Director
of Personal Monitor Products. "This can easily happen when a band adds personnel
or new equipment, like personal monitors."
Compact, portable, and easy-to-use, the AuxPander is capable of mixing eight
input signals and distributing them to any of the eight available outputs in any
combination and at any volume level. Interfaced via a host console's insert points,
AuxPander is expandable both vertically and horizontally to meet future sound
system needs. For example, connecting two AuxPanders creates an 8x16 or a 16x8
matrix.
AuxPander is anticipated to be available from Shure dealers this May. AuxPander
carries a suggested retail price of $990.00 USD. For more information, visit their web site at www.shure.com. |
