ALLEN&HEATH PA12CP
‘Walk up and go’ is a perfect description for the PA Series mixer – all the controls you expect are logically placed so that you stay in control under the pressure of any performance. The 4 band EQ on inputs and outputs and clever output routing are unique and will ensure you get the best out of the system, while features such as individual phantom power switches and SPDIF recording output add professional finishing touches. Add sparkling clarity to your performance with the superior sound quality of a PA Series mixer.
PA12CP High Performance Preamp
The mic preamp is probably the most important stage in the console’s signal path and its performance is often the measure of the quality of the console. The PA Series uses a high grade dual stage design, developed from our top-end range of ML and GL consoles. This ensures optimum matching and very low noise when connecting mic or line sources.
PA12CP Parametric Output EQ
A 4 band equalizer with swept frequency on each band provides more precise optimization of the speaker system and control of feedback than the typical fixed frequency graphic type EQ found on similar consoles.

PA12CP Filter
Each mono input channel is equipped with a 100Hz high-pass filter, an invaluable tool for cleaning up the mix. The majority of live sound sources have very little content below 100Hz, and modern microphones have wide frequency response and can pick up bleed from nearby low frequency sources such as bass and kick drums. The filter can be used: on vocal channels to reduce mic handling noise and close proximity ‘popping’; on drum overhead mic’s to reduce kick and bass pick up; on higher frequency instruments such as flute and acoustic guitar; and on stage mic’s to reduce foot noise.
PA12CP Recording Outputs
There is a digital SPDIF 2-track output available from a RCA phono socket for recording direct to digital media, such as PC soundcards, DAT and digital audio processors. The recording send can be switched pre-fade if desired. An analogue recording output is also available.
PA12CP 4 Band Channel EQ
Another design innovation taken from ALLEN&HEATH’s flagship range, the 4 band input EQ is every bit a pro tool. The low [60Hz] and high [12kHz] bands have shelving response, while the high-midrange band is sweepable from 350Hz to 6 kHz. Low-midrange EQ has a bell response at 250Hz - a frequency chosen to provide reduction of ‘muddy’ sounds and enhance ‘warmth’.
