... another AM1 Spin-Off in the 500 format ...

AM1 – our state-of-the-art pure analog mixing console – does not only stand for superb sound quality but also for elaborate functionality.
The essence of AM1 Insert- and Stereo-stages has been extracted and then supplemented to form a unique stand- alone unit.

IM1 has been designed for setting up a high end analog signal chain in conjunction with other analog equipment.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS

• The missing link for studios focused on their digital workstation but with a range of high performance analog equipment for special “tasks”. IM1 is the perfect bridge between ADDA- converters and analogue outboard equipment.
• New variety of stereo processing functionality when used in Group- or Master-Inserts in a classical mixing console set-up
• Extended functionality in set-ups where dedicated analog gear (Preamps, EQs, Dynamics) is used as high quality front-end to recording systems.

IM1 is a 2-slot 500 series unit with a Stereo I/O (2 in/2 out) and a Stereo Insert (2 out/2 in).
As the API 500 standard provides one balanced I/O per slot only, IM1 exceeds this standard.

An additional Breakout panel with 4 XLR connectors – enclosed in the scope of delivery – can be used to operate it in any 500 rack.

For set-up check the manual link below.
When operating IM1 in a Zähl Rack 500 the Breakout panel is not needed.

A dedicated rear panel provides all connectors.
