The ARC-15 is a powerful, general-purpose 15-channel console that easily handles most On Air radio and radio production studio applications.

It offers a dedicated high performance mic channel plus four channels that can be internally selected as either mic or stereo line inputs, as well as seven dedicated stereo line input channels, a phone input channel for interfacing to an external hybrid for live callers (or an off-line contest call) and a sound card channel that can be configured with a Windows PC USB interface for use with On Air, automation, and production software.

It also features a comprehensive cue-talkback system, LED lighted switches, long life faders, electronic switching of all audio signal paths and real VU meters for low fatigue monitoring. And with its XLR, RCA phono jack and balanced RJ45 connections, the ARC-15 is easy to install with off the shelf cables.

Its main Program Output is both balanced and unbalanced for long signal runs to other rooms. The console Program output is provided on a +4dBu, balanced, XLR connector. For local connection to unbalanced consumer equipment, the console Program output also features a (-)10dBu RCA jack output. Audition and Mono Mix outputs are unbalanced (-)10dBu RCA jack outputs.
