The Model 12 Serial is housed in a 3U, 19-inch rackmount chassis, weighing approximately 8.2 kg (18 lbs). Its signature aesthetic is a brushed aluminum faceplate with deep-red anodized trim.
The heart of the unit is a 12-position serial backplane. Each of the 12 channels functions as an independent bi-directional "lane." A lane can be configured in one of three modes per port: visual audio splitter amp- joiner 12 serial
The "12 Serial" designation means all 12 lanes can operate simultaneously, but they can also be cascaded internally: Lane 1’s output can feed into Lane 2’s joiner, creating complex routing matrices. The Model 12 Serial is housed in a
To understand the product, we must break its verbose name down into functional blocks. The "12 Serial" designation means all 12 lanes
Set all toggles to THRU. Set each Join Gain pot progressively (e.g., Stage 1: +3dB, Stage 2: +4dB, etc.). The signal cascades through all 12 stages. If final Master Volume is at 0dB, the final output is the product of all gains: Total Gain (dB) = Σ (Join Gain N). With max gain per stage (+20dB), the theoretical total is +240dB—though in practice, noise and oscillation become extreme after +60dB. The visual LEDs saturate red by Stage 9.
