Mixing Console 5MT - the Master Sections
The Master Sections can be used with all versions of the 5MT mixing console but the Series MR. Four stereo master sections are available. In addition, there are master sections for 4 channel surround sound systems, 5.1 and 7.1 format and the R-MST recall master section for the Series MR consoles.
Stereo Effect Returns
The master sections for stereo format, E2-MST, S-MST and AT-MST are fully compatible. These master sections include 5 to 8 stereo effect return input that increase the channel count of the mixing console without additional cost. In addition to the effect returns that are integrated in the 5 or 6 master modules, stereo return modules are availabe.
Compatibility
The master sections E2-MST, S-MST and AT-MST are module compatible. It is not only possible to exchange the entire master section in a mixing console but to mix the modules of these three master sections in one console. This offers the opportunity to configure the feature set of the master block individually, module for module. You can use an extensive mix master section in combination with modules of the E2-MST that include all necessary functions at an affordable price.
