Arthur
USA - This year's NAMM Show offers musicians and engineers an opportunity to meet Arthur - Schertler's new modular mixer, which has its official North American premiere in Anaheim.

Designed for both live and studio use, Arthur is created from a choice of different Class-A input and output modules - Mic Input, Mic Input Ultra Low Noise and Mic Input x4 units, Yellow instrument input unit, Stereo Input unit, L/R Master, Aux Master and external Power-In units. These can be specified and assembled by the user (in any order and quantity) to form both compact and large-scale mixer configurations. Modules can be added, removed or re-ordered at any time to meet changing requirements.

The Schertler booth (#1282) will feature sample mixer configurations including a compact three-channel live set-up for solo vocals and guitar (with microphone/instrument inputs and L/R output). Used in combination with Schertler's TIM - a 600W (350+125+125) portable 2:1 PA system designed for use in small to medium size venues, this powerful, yet portable PA/mixer combination makes "a perfect on-stage stage partner for a range of acoustic performance applications".

Show visitors can check out first-hand the process of selecting and assembling the different mixer modules to make customized configurations, from a simple vocal preamp for direct recordings or live performances where a vocalist manages his/her own sound, to jazz band configurations with mic and instrument inputs plus Aux Sends for stage monitoring and effects, right through to larger multi-channel configurations for studio recording.

Sharing the limelight with Arthur will be Schertler's family of latest generation acoustic instrument amplifiers: Giulia Y (2-channel 50W); David (3-channel 100W); Jam (5-channel 200W) and Unico (5-channel 250W). Models are available in a both wood finish for home/studio use and an anthracite finish for touring applications where a more robust exterior finish is required.
