(Click for a close-up)

Crest Audio announced the HP-Eight professional mixing console at Winter NAMM. The HP-Eight is available in 24-channel and 32-channel frames, as well as installation-size 40, 48 and 56-channel frames, making this console suitable for a variety of medium-capacity live performance venues and houses of worship.

The HP-Eight mixing console packs in features such as four-band, double-swept mid EQ; eight analog subgroups; two-channel matrix; full talkback and monitor systems; and four-channel scene mute. This quality console also includes 10 aux sends on each mono input channel for use as a monitor mixer, plus five stereo line input channels with EQ, assignment and aux sends.

The internal switching power supply on the HP-Eight is designed to work on worldwide voltages at 50 or 60 Hz, and a DC connector allows attachment to an optional, external backup supply for worry-free, redundant operation. This console is made in the U.S.A. and backed by the same five-year warranty that covers Crest's larger consoles.

The HP-Eight is now available from Authorized Crest Audio Dealers.
