Heritage Audio FRAME 8 8-Channel Neve Frame
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the FRAME 8. Heritage Audio is dedicated to bringing you ´the sound of yesterday for tomorrow´. We specialize in capturing that unique, enticing sound that everybody has fallen in love with. For years engineers, producers and musicians have been yearning for that classic vibe. Usually the only option is to search for old, used original equipment that is almost always in a questionable state of operation. This brings with it a whole lot of other issues, making the experience less than desirable. Not to mention the very high prices asked for this equipment, which makes them virtually unobtainable for the great majority. Now it´s possible to obtain that same sound with a brand new piece that will give you all the problem- free, heavy-duty use you´ll need for years of music making history.

DESCRIPTION
Our FRAME 8 is handmade in the EU employing the same exact ISEP mechanical
components used in the Series 80 consoles with aluminium rails, guides, etc.
This will ensure your original vintage modules, as well as any of the
currently made modules, will fit like a glove.
Every channel has its own output control to attenuate the signal before the
output transformer as well as an illuminated phantom switch to provide 48 V.
The FRAME 8 is also ready for linking up to eight 2264E (Legacy Product)
compressors.
The back panel features Neutrik gold plated XLR connectors for MIC and LINE
inputs, as well as LINE outputs for connecting equipment.
External Power Supply Unit is connected by a Neutrik gold plated 4-pin XLR. It
is configurable for 220-240 V or 110 V. The power supply is included
.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
| PROBLEMS | SOLUTIONS |
|---|
There doesn´t seem to be any power feeding the
FRAME 8.
| Make sure it has been connected to its power supply. It is configurable for
220-240 V or 110 V
I´m trying to use a condenser microphone but it doesn´t seem to recognise it.|
Make sure you have activated the 48 V button for the corresponding channel.
I´m getting too much signal at my DAW.| Try reducing the OUTPUT with the red
knob on the right.
I´d like to change the Impedance from 1200 to 300 Ω but don´t know how.| There
is a switch on the back of the modules that will allow this. You will have to
remove the module first to access it.
