Schematic for S7 Master, booth and cue. Design targets and calculations, no measurements.

IN DEVELOPMENT · REV 2027.4 (DRAFT) · DESIGN TARGETS, NOT MEASUREMENTS

HUSH M4 is in development. This draft is published on zakkhutoretsky.com; it has no price and no ordering. Figures marked design target are goals for the finished product. Figures marked calculated come from the published formulas. No value on these pages was measured on a built unit. Interviews are cited as the design brief, not as an endorsement.

S7 Master, booth and cue

Master, booth and cueFour channel feeds sum in an inverting amplifier. The master isolator, FX loop and master fader follow, then balanced drivers for master and booth XLR outputs.

The sum node is a virtual earth, so crosstalk through the bus is low byconstruction; verify on a prototype.

ItemValue / formula
SumInverting summer: gain per input = −Rf/Rin = −10k/10k = −1
OutputImpedance-balanced driver: follower plus unity inverter, 47.5 Ω in each leg, Rout = 2 × 47.5 = 95 Ω
Level+28 dBu = 19.46 Vrms balanced, 13.76 V peak per leg. On ±18 V rails with 16.5 V usable swing per leg the balanced limit is about +29.6 dBu (1.6 dB above the +28 dBu design target). On ±15 V rails (13.5 V swing) it would be only +27.8 dBu: this is why the design uses ±18 V
CueChannel pre-fader taps into an inverting sum, then a cue / master blend pot into the headphone stage
