The S1 has an amazing feature set and offers a proper broadcast solution to community, educational and student radio stations that need a versatile, reliable radio broadcast mixer. It has a ‘no compromise on quality’ approach with excellent mic amps, comprehensive facilities & simple, reliable operation.

The Sonifex S1 mixer is a high performance compact, low cost, fixed format mixing console designed for on-air radio use.

It has an integral universal switch mode power supply, which uses an IEC inlet.

It maintains the same front panel ease of use found on the Sonifex S2 whilst providing advanced automated features not seen on any other product currently available on the market.

The console consists of ten input channels:

• 2 x mono XLR mic/mono XLR line inputs.
• 1 x mono XLR mic/mono XLR telco input.
• 2 x mono XLR mic/mono XLR line inputs/ stereo ¼” jack unbalanced line input.
• 1 x stereo XLR line/stereo XLR cleanfeed input.
• 2 x stereo XLR line/stereo RCA inputs, one with a 3.5mm stereo aux input.
• 2 x stereo XLR line/stereo SPDIF & Toslink digital inputs.

Providing in total 5 mic, 4 mono line, 10 stereo analogue, 2 stereo digital, 1 telco & 1 stereo cleanfeed inputs which you can switch between.

Wide-Ranging Input Channels

Input source buttons at the top of each channel strip are used to route the connected source to the mixer busses. All of the balanced XLR input connectors have a 10dB gain switch on the rear panel for use with unbalanced or low level input sources. The XLR microphone inputs have individual +48V phantom power switches and a gain calibration potentiometer providing up to 65dB of gain for the preamp.

Equalisation is provided on every input channel, allowing up to 7dB cut and boost at HF (6.5 kHz) and LF (100Hz). A PAN/BAL(ance) control is available to facilitate stereo imaging.

Analogue & Digital Outputs

The S1 has a multitude of output connectivity: one balanced stereo XLR PGM output, two balanced stereo AUX outputs on a 9-way D-type socket, a mono clean feed output on balanced XLR (for use with a telephone hybrid), a stereo cleanfeed output on stereo balanced XLRs (for use with an ISDN/IP codec) and monitor outputs for presenter headphones, guest headphones and loudspeakers.

A digital stereo PGM output is provided in XLR AES/EBU or phono S/PDIF formats. The output can be referenced to an internal clock source between 32 kHz and 96 kHz or external synchronisation sources can be connected via S/PDIF, AES/EBU or BNC wordclock.

Two Auxiliary Buses

The S1 has two Auxiliary buses that can be configured in either pre-fade or post-fade mode. Each channel can be routed to these buses using the potentiometers provided on each channel strip. Each AUX output has a trim control knob operating between fully attenuated and unity gain. Aux busses can be used for a wide range of purposes including recording telephone conversations, generating different mixes for output, connecting to audio processing equipment and much more.

Comprehensive Monitoring

The control room loudspeakers, presenter’s headphones, and guest headphones are on 6.35mm stereo jack sockets. Front panel control knobs are used to vary the monitor and headphone levels and the presenter’s headphones can be plugged in to the front and rear of the mixer. The control room monitor loudspeaker and headphone levels are variable between 0 (cut off) and 10 (max).
