The TFPro M16 consists of 16 transformer input microphone/line preamplifiers using current mode technology invented by Ted Fletcher in the 1970s.
The TFPro M16 also acts as a 16 into 2 ultra wideband mixer with monitoring. The microphone amplifiers are transformer input coupled with the input stage operating in class A. The input amplifier operates in current mode so that the input transformer works with zero flux giving extended bandwidth of 8Hz to 100KHz , unmeasurable 3 rd harmonic distortion within the audio band, and noise performance equivalent to best conventional circuits.
Microphone input levels can be from -75 to 0dBu and the overload margin of 30dB is maintained at all gain settings. The mixer stages use balanced bus technology. This gives extreme low noise and distortion, and maintains the audio performance right through to the balanced line and monitor output XLRs. The mixer is capable of 128dB dynamic range. The complete M16 system sits in 4U of rack space and is driven by an external power supply.
The stereo left and right mixes can be interrupted with balanced inserts for outboard analogue equipment. The main stereo output is a high quality balanced output suitable for mastering. Output connections are TRS balanced jacks, with an additional pair of separately buffered XLR connectors for the main output. Stabilised power is provided by a separate free-standing power supply. The 16 channels mix together through a balanced bus mixing system…. This gives superb overload performance and allows the analogue mix to perform better than the standards possible with a pure digital mixing system.
Each input of the TFPro M16 features:
- XLR mic input
- TRS Line/Instrument input
- switchable phantom power
- switchable high pass filter
- switchable phase reverse
- mic/line switch
- switchable channel mute (to the mixer)
- Solo button
- TRS Channel insert
- TRS Individual balanced line output
- LED channel metering
- Pan control
- Mixer channel gain control
