AKG AS 8 Operating Instructions Manual
Text of the manual
The AKG AS8 Automatic Microphone Mixer is an 8 channel, single rack space audio mixer. Using the unique Adaptive
Level Proportional mixing algorithm, the automatic action is inaudible and simple to set up. The AS8 offers remote control
of all channel levels and the master level. In addition, a sophisticated compressor/ leveller is included for d
GENERAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The AS8 uses a straightforward analog signal path to provide excellent audio performance. This is coupled with a
sophisticated microcontroller to implement both the automatic mixing and the compressor/leveller algorithms. The
Adaptive Level Proportional automatic mixing algorithm is used by the AS8. This algorithm uses the sig
Installing the AS8 properly is simple, and only requires attention to a few issues. The AS8 should be used in a grounded
metal rack. If only one AS8 is being used, it should be placed in the Master mode, using the rear panel switch. Erratic
performance will result if the unit is in the Slave mode, but no damage will be done to the unit. Proper

CHANNEL SECTION
CHANNEL LEVEL - Controls the relative signal level of each channel. Normal operation of the Channel Level control is
from about the 10 o’clock position to the 2 o’clock position.
CHANNEL ON LED - Gives an indication as to which channels are active.
LF - (TC version only) Adjusts the low frequency response of the ch
