INTRODUCTION
FXMASTER is an 8-band equalizer with an adjustable noise gate and reverb. This device has the ability to interface any type of studio microphone from different brands and switch it to 2 radios. The high audio quality allows you to transform even new/old radios to make hifiSSB. The audio can be perfectly amplified and equalized to adapt it to any type of microphone. It handles dynamic studio condenser microphones or ICOM, YAESU, KENWOOD, and other commercial microphones. All microphones can be connected directly without having to make new connections or adapters. FX MASTER has an internal switch to be able to use 2 radios at the same time. A lead allows indicating an overflow of the bf signal. It has two XLR studio microphone jack inputs. Through a standard jack / XLR cable it is possible to connect dynamic and condenser studio microphones with phantom power. The +48V phantom voltage is generated by an internal card that can be purchased as an option.
