features
When your professional live-sound reputation is on the line,
Crest Audio’s V12 becomes your secret-weapon: delivering
bullet-proof quality and reliability in a superlative front-of-house
or monitor console. V12 includes those features most-desired by
touring and permanent-installation engineers. Full-parametric eq
is provided on all input channels. A wealth of outputs are available
for unexpected situations. Gold-plated connectors and balanced-cir-
cuitry are provided, both internally and externally, for long-term
interference-free operation
sound fundamentals
The sonic performance of the V12 is sure to please discriminating
sound engineers and audiences alike, even when the console is
pushed hard in demanding applications. In order to maintain
high-headroom with low-noise,V12 circuits exclusively employ the
latest-generation of integrated circuits
(
operated on +/-20 volt rails
)
and studio-grade proprietary-design microphone pre-amplifiers.
Dual-VCA elements are the best available from THAT Corporation,
offering improved performance over single-element VCA designs.
Phase-shift has received special attention in the design, revealing less
than five-degrees of phase-shift on lower frequencies and less than
18-degrees on upper frequencies—better performance than that
observed in significantly more-expensive consoles.
wide range of configurations
V12 consoles are supplied with either 24, 32, 40, and 48 mono input
channels, plus four full-featured stereo mic/line input channels. Basic
configurations for all consoles include Master and Group modules,
plus four stereo-input modules that may be used as effect-returns.
All other inputs may be individually-ordered as mono-mic/line or
stereo-mic/line modules. An optional expansion-system enables the
addition of up to two 28-input side cars. Up to three V12 chassis
may also be linked together for single-console operation.
muting systems
Three-types of mute systems provide the appropriate mute
system for any application. Microprocessor based systems may be
disabled for total manual mute operation. The V12 microprocessor
mute system was co-developed with JL Cooper, insuring utmost
reliability and industry-standard operation methods.

V12 input expansion capabilities
The V12 console’s input capacity may be increased in a number of ways.
The first method is simple substitution of stereo modules for mono modules.
There is no restriction as to the quantity or location of any modules, except
for the 66-position frame, which is restricted to no-more-than 28 stereo-input
modules
(
including the four stereo modules that are provided as standard on
all V12 configurations
)
.
The second-method links multiple V12 chassis together, using the optional
internal-linking electronics and multi-way cable system. Up to three-chassis
may be linked together, making up to 156-inputs available. While all functions
link-together, specific functions may be selectively-isolated, including the very
important solo-functions where multiple operators may not wish to disturb
other members of the mixing team operating on master or slaved consoles.
This functionality is accomplished via a conveniently-located front-panel
solo-isolate switch.
The third-method employs the V12 expander-frame system. This is a 28
input-position frame that also includes a two-wide master section—delivered
with all mono input modules, but optionally configured with any number of
stereo modules. Up to two-sidecars can be connected to a master chassis,
making available up to 108 input-positions. When three 52-input V12 chassis
are linked with two 28-input side-cars, up to 212 input-module positions are
then available for use within this single-console system.
The inclusion of a master section allows a side-car to be used as a limited-
function stand-alone mixer or to allow the local-control of selected outputs,
such as effect sends, whose feeds may be isolated from the master console.
The side-car provides, in addition to master control from the main console,
four local-VCA group channels, eight local-aux outputs and local left/right/mono
outputs. These features are especially useful when the console is used as a
drum or orchestra mixer.

built to defy murphy’s law
V12 consoles are constructed to endure the rigors of the road.
A segmented mother-board system is employed, thoroughly shock-
mounted from the multi-walled chassis. Despite being extremely-rigid,
the V12 console is amazingly light. Gold-plated interconnects and con-
nectors are used throughout, delivering impeccable performance in
even the most harsh environments.
