Compact QUAD is the answer to your requirement for flexible Audio Monitoring that combines HD/SD SDI and Balanced audio in a
compact unit, that is ideal for Flyaway, Mobile, Edit Suites and CAR use. Kit which may be used either free-standing or racked in a
1/2 width 3U "WFM" chassis frame, to provide comprehensive and cost effective monitoring facilities.
A major plus with the Compact-Quad, is the additional 4 Channel ANALOGUE Group with rear panel XLR input. All four channels of
the “Touch Latch” selected Group are simultaneously metered with miniature PPMs, whilst Ch1/2 + Ch3/4 audio PHASE is
continuously monitored by our popular "GO/NO GO" logic. This "Traffic light" concept is a major feature of all Murraypro meters
using discrete metering, with PHASE and PEAK Levels policed on LEDs. Constantly monitoring the selected input Group, our ever
alert GREEN Phase LED or Peak LEDs will snap to RED immediately any trouble is detected, saving vital time and much expense
later!
Compact QUAD is normally supplied for free standing operation in it's smart slip on sleeve-cover, which facilitates totally self-
contained stereo speaker monitoring, surprising on equipment of this size. Two integral 'broad-side' speakers provide 8+8 Watt
stereo monitoring, and hinged "acoustic reflectors" direct the sound forward to the Listener for Higher Fi; a major bonus that may
even obviate the requirement for the separate installation of a pair of powered monitor loudspeakers. These robust reflectors then
fold flat against the side for storage or transportation, a neat feature appreciated by those used to repeated ‘Location Build-ups’.
When Compact QUAD is used rack mounted, it continues to provide integral speaker monitoring. Racking limitations however
restrict this to a single 8W front facing speaker driven from a monaural-mix channel, with independent Left or Right Channel muting.
When jacked, the (level-limited) Headphone socket mutes the loudspeaker(s) drive to provide high quality private stereo monitoring.
In addition to the equalised and reclocked HD/SD SDI loop-output, a really useful feature of the Compact-QUAD is the rear panel 4
Ch balanced XLR OPs of the selected Group. The front panel volume control is fully buffered, and a balanced stereo analogue OP
is also available at the rear panel on XLR3s, for use with external powered loudspeakers if required. A bonus feature is the CVBS
output of a 16 channel audio level histogram for utility use elsewhere.
