Crest Tactus.FOH Live Sound Digital Audio Mixing Network Server

Presented by Crest Audio, in concert with Waves®, the Tactus™.FOH (Front of house) is the brains of the Tactus digital mixing system, a professional mixing platform built on rock-solid hardware and the state-of-the-art software mix engine WAVES eMOTION LV1 that delivers studio-grade sound quality and effects. You'll need at least one Tactus.FOH unit, then just simply connect it to your PC. With local inputs and outputs, this is enough for a small event.

Housing the SoundGrid Server Extreme (SGS), which performs all the digital signal processing for the Crest Tactus/Waves LV1 mix system, the Tactus.FOH unit's 8 microphone/line inputs and 8 balanced line-level outputs provide the high-quality analog I/O so often needed for front of house mixing. The digitally-controlled preamplifiers' gain can be adjusted in 1 dB steps over a 68 dB range to accept the Mic and line-level signals. Its 8 outputs are available on a combination of XLR and TRS ¼" connectors.

The Tactus Digital Mixing System

A modular digital mixing system that can cope with virtually any type of live event and recording situation, using a modular approach so you can build your systems to meet your exact requirements. With this system, you get the most flexible—and powerful—professional audio mixing solution available. System control can range from a single touch-screen computer on up to multiple screens with Tactus.control, moving fader, or user-control surfaces.
