The ASL "Mobile Audio Control Cabin" has been ergonomically designed for maximum efficiency. Complete control and overview of the console, signal processing and video monitors is possible from the mix position. The main patch bay system is centrally located in the control cabin. Side audio/video panels can interface additional ASL or guest mic-pre's, mixers, processing, etc. The rear audio panel connects dual 48 or 24 track multitrack machine operation to the system. The front audio panel under the console interfaces the main console connections. Three separate air conditioners provide cooling to equipment and people individually.
The outside rear "Audio/Video/Power Interface Area" is equipped with an awning for weatherproof crew operations during work or stand by. The lower bi-folding inventory doors provide easy access to stowed equipment in tight quarters. When the lift gate is not in use, it acts as the work platform for the A/V/P Interface Area. Five "Belly Bins" mounted beneath the control cabin provide storage for stands, snake/mults, feeder cable, truck supplies, etc.
The "Control Cabin" rides on a Navistar International turbo charged Diesel truck with four door "Comfort Zone" travel crew cab and air ride suspension.
Jethro requires 50 amperes of Single Phase 208 Volts AC power.
A Camlok AC input panel is located in the rear A/V/P Interface Area.
Outside truck dimensions: 30' 6" long X 8' 0" wide X 11' 6" high.
Control cabin dimensions: 17' 0" long X 7' 5" wide X 7' 10" high.
The "Comfort Zone crew cab" provides an audio/video tie line interconnect box for interfaces to the main patch bay system. Color TV/monitors, stereo system, CB, PA and cellular phone surround the swiveling captain's chair. A switch panel controls outside scene and stair lighting.
172+ EXTERIOR MIC AND/OR LINE LEVEL TIE LINES SHOW UP ON THE TRUCK'S PATCH BAY.
200+ INTERIOR TIE LINES ARE AVAILABLE TO AUGMENT OUR STANDARD TRUCK PACKAGE.
