ELECTRA E-3 Live Console
The ALTAIR ELECTRA E-3, launched at PROLIGHT & SOUND 2004 (Frankfurt), defines a new and revolutionary concept in analog automated consoles. Specific and novel functions, such as cable test on each input channel and digital equalization and dynamics in every of 16 auxiliary outputs, makes this console a very attractive tool for live performances (in F.O.H. or in monitoring). New Master section layout allows a comfortable simultaneous use of 8 GRP, 8 MTX and 16 AUX. Motorized VCA faders allows many intuitive functions not found in similar console designs.
Altair Audio debuted the Electra E-3, a semi-modular console designed for front-or-house or monitor applications. Offered in 32/40/48-input channel configurations, Electra E-3 features eight subgroups, 16 auxes, eight VCAs with motorized faders, an 8x16 matrix and LCR output masters. Eight mute masters can store 128 mute scenes, and digital parametric equalization and onboard dynamics complement the aux outs. Inputs have 4-band EQ, with peak-shelf-switchable low-frequency/high-frequency bands and fully parametric mids. Metering is extensive, with nine-step LEDs next to each fader, along with 24 LED meters on the auxes and groups and four mechanical VUs for PFL and the LCR masters. A connector for an optional redundant power supply is also standard.
