The FSM-600 is a compact fixed format stereo production mixer. The design allows the unit to accept two microphone inputs and ten stereo music inputs.

• 6 Twin Input Channels
• Less Than 0.005% Distortion
• Mic Compressor
• Voice Over Control
• Available in Black or Red

The FSM-600 is essentially a six channel mixer with each channel switchable to two inputs. Channels 1 and 2 are switchable between low impedance microphone and stereo line inputs. Channels 3 to 6 are switchable between A and B stereo line inputs. The A input may be internally selected to RIAA or normal line. These channels are fully assignable to the cross fader. Three band equalisation is fitted to all inputs along with gain and auxiliary send controls. Illuminated push buttons and a 60 mm fader complete the channel controls. Internal settings provide for the unit to be set to individual needs. The output section provides plenty of facilities to cope with the most demanding applications.

Unlike the majority of fixed format mixers on the market all connectors are fitted to the back face which allows unrestricted access when the mixer is fitted through a work top or in a rack.

Although the FSM-600 is a fixed format design the use of individual circuit cards per channel improve reliability and aid servicing should the need arise. Construction and audio quality are to Formula Sounds usual highest standards. Power The mixer features a fully regulated internal power supply that is designed to operate on 220-240Vac or 110-120Vac. The selection is by an internal switch mounted on the power supply circuit board and is accessed by removing the front cover. Input Channels 1 and 2

Input selector switch selects input used. M = microphone (XLR connector). L = stereo line (phono connectors). 2 parallel pairs of phono sockets allow easy parallel of source to a second input if required.

LEDs and label area clearly show which input is in use.

Gain control sets input gain level. Check by selecting PFL and adjusting so that VU meter just peaks into red.

3 band equalisation provides ±10dB control, internal jumpers allow selection of +/-5dB or no EQ

Auxiliary send allows a separate mix of channels to auxiliary output (stereo bus). Internal jumpers allow the auxiliary pot to function pre or post channel fader.

Mute push button cuts the channel signal when depressed (switch illuminated). It does not cut the auxiliary send.

Limit push button routes the microphone signal via a built in compressor/limiter to keep dynamics under control. An internal jumper disables the switch forcing the mic to always be routed to the limiter. This switch has no effect on the line input.

PFL (pre-fade listen) routes the channel signal to the monitoring system (V.U. meter and phones). If more than 1 PFL is selected the sum is routed to the monitoring system. If no PFL is selected the monitoring system reads main output.

Input Channels 3 and 6

Input selector switch selects input used. A = input A B = input B. Input B is always a stereo line input (internal jumpers selects input A to be either RIAA magnetic cartridge or a standard line input. (phono connectors)).

LEDs and label area clearly show which input is in use.

Gain control sets the input gain level. Check by selecting PFL and adjusting so that VU meter just peaks into the red.

3 band equalisation provides ±10dB control, internal jumpers allow selection of ±5dB or no E.Q.

Auxiliary send allows a separate mix of channels summed to the auxiliary output (stereo bus). Internal jumpers allow the auxiliary pot to function pre or post channel fader.

XF A and XF B (Illuminated push buttons) assign the channel to the cross fader if neither button is pressed the channel is fed via the stereo buss to the output and the cross fader will have no effect on this channel if both buttons are pressed the channel will be assigned to A only

PFL (pre-fade listen) routes the channel signal to the monitoring system (V.U. meter and phones). If more than 1 PFL is selected the sum is routed to the monitoring system. If no PFL is selected the monitoring system reads main output.

60mm channel fader.
