tching between sources.
Each Zone has Left and Right Balanced
XLR outputs, with dual LED meters show-
ing output levels for each zone.
Universal AC Power
AC power is a universal 100 to 120V or
220 to 240V, and is connected to the unit
via a removable power lead and standard
3 pin IEC connector, with built in fuse and
voltage selection switch.
The intuitive layout and precise control
offered by the ARX BarMIX make it the
ideal choice for any Zone mixing installa-
tion application.
The ARX BarMIX is a unique user-friendly
Zoner/Mixer, enabling a choice of four ste-
reo audio sources to be routed to each of
two zones.
Intuitive Layout
The linear ergonomic flow of the front pan-
el controls, coupled with the visual feed-
back of level settings and source selection
makes using the BarMIX totally intuitive,
even for casual staff with no prior experi-
ence.
Up to four stereo sources can be connect-
ed to the BarMix, such as: Tape/cassette/
DVD/CD decks, TV/Satellite/video audio,
Juke Box/Karaoke systems. Interlocking
switches for each source ensure that there
is no risk of accidentally selecting two sourc-
es for the one zone.
Each switch has an associated status LED
for easy at-a-glance confirmation of which
program source is active, and numbered
panels above each switch let you label each
source.
The BarMIX has provision for connecting a
microphone, to allow announcements to
made in the zones. There is comprehen-
sive 3 way EQ and an individual level con-
trol for the microphone on the front panel,
as well as a Gain trim control on the rear.
A front panel switch assigns the microphone
to either or both zones, and there is also
provision to connect a push-to-talk signal
for priority/evac override.
Control Options
Each of the two output zones has the op-
tion of being controlled Locally from the
control on the unit itself, or Remotely with
the optional BM-1 Remote VCA Level Con-
trol. A front panel LED indicates which op-

The signal processor shall be mounted in a
steel chassis six inches deep and one rack
unit high. The unit shall be a Zoner/Mixer,
i.e, it shall accept inputs from four separate
stereo sources as well as a microphone, and
send them to two separate zones. A switch
on the rear panel shall switch the output of
the two zones to either stereo (Left and
Right), or Mono. An LED shall indicate which
mode is active.
The microphone input shall have a level con-
trol and three way Equalisation controls. The
microphone connector shall be a balanced
XLR input with an Input impedance of 4 K
Ohms. There shall also be an input for a duck-
er control to attenuate line inputs by 20 dB,
and LEDs to indicate microphone status. The
microphone shall be able to be routed to ei-
ther or both output zones.
Each Line source shall have High Z Left and
Right phono (RCA type) connectors, with as-
sociated
