MARC-15
The MARC-15
is a feature laden, professional analog console that is perfect
for On Air radio, Production, and News applications. The modular
design allows the console to be configured exactly to the studio's
needs and to be easily serviced. The 15 channels with up to 30
source inputs meets even the largest studio's
needs.
Three output buses easily handles on air, background production,
and a third mix for the most complex shows. The mainframe supports
up to 2 phone modules for two simultaneous callers. The console
even features a PC-USB input module so that the console can play
from and record to a Windows PC in digital. The optional Studio
Monitor module facilitates Control room-Talk studio applications.
Also, installation is fast and easy with the attractive low profile
tabletop design and the RJ45 terminated cables that come included
with the console. The engineer only need terminate the other
end of the cable for the specific source device. Prewired cables
are an expensive option for competing products. The MARC console
is even plugin compatible with Arrakis AARC-NET digital audio
networking so that your studios can be connected with only a
single CAT-5 network cable. With more than 30 years experience
in the design and manufacture of
radio
consoles,
the MARC-15 from Arrakis has the features, performance, and reliability
that is required for professional radio applications.

The
modular mainframe... The
modular mainframe allows the console to be configured for exactly
the
number of mics and stereo sources that you need. Being
modular it can easily be reconfigured as those needs change. If not
all of the 15 input module positions are initially filled,
then
there
is room for expansion at a later date. Modularity is also
an advantage if service is required. Spare modules can even be
purchased as backups so that repair is immediate. compact
and low profile... just 37 1/2" wide and 20" deep
The ‘Output’ module comes standard with the console. The 8, 12, and 15 channel base models can then be configured with any combination of input modules that you choose. There can be a maximum of one ‘PC USB’ module, two ‘Phone modules’, and one ‘Studio monitor’ module per mainframe. Any number of mic or stereo line modules can be added until the 15 open modules in the mainframe are full.
Mic
module The mic module features an extremely low noise monolythic mic preamp IC for extremely high mic performance. 48 volt phantom power can be internally selected for condenser microphones. The ‘A’ input supports complete remote studio control of channel on/off/cough/ and talkback. Stereo
Line level module The stereo line input
module features extremely low noise and distortion input amplifiers.
The ‘A’ input has reed
relay isolated start and stop logic for source control. The relay
isolation reduces pops and clicks and ground loops. The ‘A’ input
also supports complete remote studio control of channel on/off/cough/
and talkback for when external mic preamps are used. PC-USB
input module The PC USB module is ideal for interfacing the console with a Windows PC (XP or VISTA). Because the hardware is Windows compatible, both Arrakis software and 3rd party software (such as Adobe Audition) will recognize and play/record from the module. The Arrakis software is also controlled by the module channel on-off switches to start and stop the playlist just like a cart stack. The module also features a Record button to start and stop manual records direct from the module. Multiple PCs are supported by using a USB module for each PC. Powerful Arrakis Xtreme software is supplied free with this module and full automation software is available as well under the Arrakis Xtreme-Solutions program. Telephone
module The MARC-15 supports
two phone modules for two external hybrids. Each phone module
(caller) has its own mix-minus bus that includes
the other phone module (other caller). The convenient ‘Offline’ button
switches the module so that the caller hears the console mic only
and the console is fed by the caller. When not in off-line mode,
the caller mix-minus is fed from a mix of the three output buses
(Pgm, Aud, & Utl). Relay isolated logic control of the external
hybrid is actuated by the module on-off buttons. Studio Monitor
module (optional) A‘Talk to Studio’ button sends the control room mic to the muted monitor and unmuted headphone feeds that are fed to the studio. This enables the console operator to speak to the host and talent in the studio. The host and talent in the studio can ‘talk back’ to the console operator by activating the ‘talkback’ logic from their respective mic module which feeds their mic to the console cue speaker and console headphones.
The MARC-15 is quick and easy to install. The meter panel hinges up and back to provide fast access to the RJ45 IO connectors and trimpots. The cabling exits through the bottom rear of the console and can be either through the table or simply out the rear of the console above the tabletop. Ten foot cables (connectorized at one end with molded RJ45 connectors) are provided for the output module and the ‘A’ inputs for the input modules. This is en expensive option for most consoles but is standard with the MARC-15. The power supply is an external ‘brick’ type module that supports 110VAC - 220VAC for domestic or international installations. It simply plugs into the rear of the console.
