Sentinel PRIME
The Sentinel PRIME is a built-to-order amplifier management / audio distribution matrix, designed for the professional studio Guitar and Bass session player. An MW1 on steroids with incredible audio specs, the Sentinel PRIME has two input modules and from 2 to 16 audio splits for tracking, reamping and managing multiple guitars and amps. Built for the studio, but at home on the road, the Sentinel PRIME was designed with live performance use in mind. The Sentinel Prime is also ideally suited for duty in fixed building installations, such as theaters, houses of worship, hotels or convention centers needing to feed audio to a combination of as many as 16 mono or 8 stereo zones. Two or more Sentinel PRIME systems can be daisy chained together for additional zones as required.
Two inputs make it simple to manage a stereo signal, two musicians or for switching to a back-up guitar in live situations. The front panel instrument inputs take priority to facilitate patching in a guest guitarist on the fly. Each input can switch between instrument (for tracking) and line (for reamping or audio distribution). The instrument inputs have variable input impedance and the line inputs have -30 to +6dBu of attenuation. They have insert points for FX pedals, the inserts can be switched out of circuit. The Insert sends are always live so they can be used for additional clean feed outputs. The input modules also have balanced Line Level DI outputs with -6 to +24dBu of gain for recording clean signals for reamping later. The DI's can be pre or post the insert points so you can send FX to the amps but record a clean DI. The inputs have a master mute with optional footswitch and a pre-mute tuner out so you can silence all the amps while tuning - the tuner out is a sum of both inputs and is balanced so you can use it as an additional clean unity gain DI output.
The Sentinel PRIME has room for 8 dual output modules so you can start with two and then expand to 16 outputs. Each output can be routed from either one or both inputs. They have -6 to +24dBu of gain, a phase switch, a variable output impedance and individual mute switch. There is also an isolation switch so you can go transformerless or transformer isolated to break-up unruly ground loops. Aside from great spec's the Sentinel PRIME output introduces our new Zero Tone Loss Transformer technology making the specs going through the transformer every bit as good as going transformerless.
Optionally, each output can be specially ordered to include an output path insert point. All the mutes and inserts can be ordered custom wired to a foot controller or general purpose interface (GPI) for the ability to remotely control the outputs (for example to switch on and off different amplifiers or to insert FX loops during a performance).
The Sentinel is built to order; as such we request a 50% deposit at the time of order and expect delivery in appx. 4 to 6 weeks…
