AIRMATE-12
We created the Airmate-12 mixer to meet the requirements of radio production at a high level. It is an ideal choice for self-operating DJs who require an internal two Telephone Hybrid and USB connection to the PC, for streaming to the web. Additionally, it offers VoIP or Bluetooth channel options and an AES output.
It comprises of a heavy-duty 19" rack-mounted RF shielded chassis, which contains 12 vertical triple input modules that provide flexibility that is rarely found in other mixers of its type.
​
The Airmate-12 unit comes with eight input channels that have high-quality balanced microphone inputs on XLR, and two stereo line-level inputs on Cinch (RCA) connectors.
Each Mic input has an insert for signal processors. In addition, every line-level line B input can be transformed into a phono (record player) channel by fitting an optional stereo R.I.A.A. equalized phono pre-amp. Moreover, it is now possible to connect our Studio Remote unit to the Airmate-12 unit.
front panel
The Airmate-12 model is equipped with 10 balanced mic inputs which have +48 phantom with insert, along with 12 stereo line inputs, 2 USB and 2 Telephone Hybrids.
Channels 5 and 6 come with Mic/Line and USB interface to transfer audio from and to your PC. Channel 7 and 8 have RJ-11 connectors in addition to the stereo line input, which can be used to interface with a POT and a Telephone appliance so you can dial the number you want to reach.
The built-in Hybrids are of high quality and the direct Connection and Talkback buttons in the Hybrid channels allow for easy conversation with listeners.
The Telco Send (level to the caller) and Telco Gain (level coming from the caller) can be easily adjusted.
You can also choose to include VoIP or Bluetooth on channel 7 and 8.
Fader start can be from the ON switch or FADER. Fader start also switches on ON-AIR lights.
There is a 3 band Equalizer on channel 1-10. The stereo Aux send can be set pre or post fader.
All mic inputs have low cut jumpers. A clean feed send is available for external analog and digital Hybrids.​
back panel
The Airmate-12 has two USB connectors on its back panel which allow you to control your USB channels from your computer. When you connect the unit to your computer, your computer will detect a new USB device.
In addition to the standard POT channels, you can also include VoIP or Bluetooth channel(s) in the Airmate-12. In this case, you will get a USB connector in place of the RJ11, which allows you to connect your VoIP channel to your computer using any VoIP software.
All input and output connections use standard XLR, Cinch, and Jack connectors.
all available options inside the Airmate
AES-EBU
It is possible to order digital outputs on your Airmate USB, which allows you to go fully digital to the transmitter or other broadcast devices connected to the Airmate USB.
The master AES/EBU XLRs serve as your digital inputs and outputs. On the back panel of the Master, there are two 3-pin male XLR connectors that typically provide ground-compensated balanced analog outputs for the main program stereo signal.
However, these connectors can be converted into a balanced digital AES/EBU standardized output signal (XLR male).
Additionally, you have the option of accepting digital AES/EBU signals on the second XLR (female).
The analog audio signal is always available on the two jacks located above the left digital XLR output.
RIAA Pre-Amp
It's also possible to add on all ten of your balanced Mic Inputs channels (channel 1-10) on your Airmate-12 unit our RIAA pre-amp board.
​
This will give you the option to connect the old fashion record player to the mixer, so good old times can come back to live on a new day piece of broadcast equipment.
​
These board can be purchased also on a later moment inside our webshop and are very simple to connect inside the mixer on one of the boards by yourself.
​
Before production of the mixer, it is imperative to know that this option cannot be added at a later date. This is because the mixer requires different types of master and telco boards.
VoIP
We offer dedicated VoIP channels for the Airmate-12 on channels 11 and 12. You can use these channels separately or with a combination of one TELCO module and one VoIP module.
If you choose to include a VoIP channel, you will receive a USB connector in place of the RJ11. This allows you to connect your VoIP channel to your computer and use it with any VoIP software available.
The USB connection on the back of the VoIP board means that you can also use this channel as a normal USB channel.
This means that you can have a total of 4 USB channels on your Airmate.
If you prefer to use a classic analogue or digital Hybrid, we have designed a cleanfeed output on pins 1-4 of the RJ11 connector.
You can return the Hybrid signal on the line input of the VoIP module. You can add this option to your mixer at a later time by purchasing the VoIP board from our webshop.
Bluetooth
It is possible to choose a Bluetooth Hybrid module with a line input on Input module 11 and/or 12.
This high-quality Telephone Hybrid Bluetooth V5.0 circuit connects you directly to a Bluetooth device and enables you to take Bluetooth calls and play/pause music directly on your Airmate-12 console.
On the back of each Bluetooth Hybrid/Line channel on the Airmate-12 unit (channel 11 & 12), you will find three connectors for the Bluetooth-Hybrid/Line modules.
Two unbalanced stereo line RCA Cinch connectors are available for connecting CD players, iPods or any play-back devices as long as they are line level equipment.
You can add this option inside your mixer at a later time.
To do this, you can purchase the Bluetooth board from our webshop.
overview
The Airmate-12 is equipped with standard stereo faders, stereo Aux send and return, and a monitor master with "follow phones". It also has a headphones output with a split control function.
There is a balance control that allows you to adjust the volume between the main output and the stereo Cue signal continuously.
Moreover, there is a unique Radio On-air/production section that includes:
- Self-op switching that automatically cuts control room level when the D.J. mic is in use.
​
- A Clean feed output that can also drive an external Telephone Hybrid for talk shows and interviews in case you need more Hybrid channels than the 2 built-in ones.
​
- A special announcer output that normally follows the main output but can be switched so that the main output, or any cue signal that is selected, can be heard when in the "follow phones" mode.
​
A large Talkback switch activates the built-in electret talkback microphone for easy communication with the Clean-feed output, Aux output, and/or Announcer output.
