The Compact Recording Console (CRC) builds on the original EZTubeMixer design by incorporation many of the cost reduction techniques developed for the Mark 3 mixer. In particular, the mechanical design is considerably simplified. First, the enclosure construction is based on standard 19 inch rack mounting sub-racks fitted into a custom designed wooden 19 inch rack. Secondly, all the electronics for a channel is contained on a single 6U PCB instead of the two separate ones used in the EZTubeMixer design. This considerably simplifies interconnections. And thirdly, the rigid module construction of the Mark 3 mixer is employed which provides a low cost means of combining mechanical integrity with built in modules screening. The only limitations of the CRC are it can only have a maximum of 6 channels, two main buses and a single 3 band EQ type (REDD PLUS)

Future versions will replace the rotary monitor select switch with a PFL system
