Cubase AI4 Digital Audio Workstation Supplied

The IM8 series consoles come supplied with Cubase AI4, which is an audio and music 
production workstation that offers audio recording and editing, MIDI sequencing, an 
entire suite of VST effects plug-ins and a HALionOne sample player featuring selected 
waves from the famed Yamaha Motif synthesizers and tone modules. Cubase AI4 will run 
on compatible Windows or Macintosh computers, and digital audio is transferred 
between the computer and console via a single standard USB cable. Live performances 
can be recorded and then edited and mastered for distribution using Cubase AI’s 
advanced audio production features.

Live Sound: One Console for FOH and Monitor

Where space is limited and/or only one experienced engineer is available to operate the sound system, running both front-of-house and 

monitor sound from a single mixing console is usually the most effective solution. Fortunately, the IM8 consoles are fully capable of handling 

both functions at once.

System Details & Features

For this application a 40-channel IM8-40 
console has been chosen to provide plenty 
of I/O capacity to handle both FOH and 
monitor functions while maintaining a 
surprisingly small footprint. Aux sends 1 
through 6 supply signals for the on-stage 
monitor wedges via Q2031B graphic 
equalizers and P5000S power amplifiers. 
Side fills are also provided for seamless 
monitor sound throughout the stage area. 
Solid FOH sound is delivered via dual left 
and right subwoofers and mains powered 
P7000S and P5000S amplifiers. Aux 7 and 8 
are connected to a pair of SPX2000 
multi-effect units for first-class ambience 
and delay processing. Dynamics are 
handled by the console’s onboard one-knob 
channel compressors, making it easy to 
achieve optimum sound while eliminating 
the need for outboard dynamics processors. 
BGM and sound effects are supplied via a 
compact audio player plugged into the 
console’s easily accessible front-panel 2TR 
IN connectors, and a computer running the 
supplied Cubase AI4 digital audio 
workstation software can be connected to 
the USB I/O port for recording and 
additional playback as required.

Live Sound: Separate Consoles for FOH and Monitor

When circumstances allow, providing separate front-of-house and monitor consoles and engineers makes it possible to 

respond more intimately and speedily to the performer’s monitoring requirements, while allowing the FOH engineer to concentrate fully on 

providing the best possible house sound.

System Details & Features

A 24-channel IM8-24 console is used for monitor sound in this example. Aux sends 1 through 6 on the monitor console feed the stage wedges, while matrix outs 1 through 4 are used 
for the fills. This arrangement allows particularly flexible monitor output control. A local monitor is also provided for the monitor engineer. The monitor console uses dual linked PW8 
power supply for failsafe reliability.

External Power Supply

The PW8 is a power supply unit that will deliver clean, stable 
power. The use of an external power supply unit means that 
components that could be a source of AC noise or heat are 
kept out of the console itself, thus contributing to superior 
sonic performance and stability. A second PW8 power supply 
unit can be connected via a single link cable for redundant 
failsafe operation.

• Two independent channels of graphic EQ with full 31-band 

control from 20Hz to 20kHz.

• Selectable ±6 dB or ±12 dB EQ ranges.
• Exceptionally quiet operation with less than 0.05% total 

harmonic distortion.

• Noise levels below -96 dB with a smooth, natural sound that 

is compatible with digital sources.

• Continuously variable high pass filters on both channels 

provide 12dB/octave roll-off below any
frequency from 20 Hz to 200 Hz.

• Ba4 dB 1/4" phone jacks and balanced XLR jacks 

for both input and output.

• Independent peak indicators for each channel light when 

the output signal reaches 3 dB below clipping.

• EQ ON/OFF switches provide one-touch EQ bypass and 

instant comparison.

• Rugged 19" rack mountable design.

• Superb sonic quality with 24-bit/96-kHz processing 

throughout.

• 106dB dynamic range and flat response from 20 Hz to 

40kHz at the 96-kHz sampling rate.

• 97 refined preset programs including the advanced 

"REV-X" reverb algorithm.

• The rugged aluminum front panel features 2 sets of intuitive 

cross-keys for easy navigation and editing.

• Five backlight color variations of the SPX2000 LCD for 

striking visual contrast and easy identification.

• Professional audio I/O and control connectors
• SPX2000 editor for Mac OS X and Windows available.
