Soldiers: A History

Choices UK Product Information
A magisterial new history of the British soldier - a man famously described by the Duke of Wellington as 'the scum of the earth'. From battlefield to barrack-room, this book is stuffed to the brim with anecdotes and stories of soldiers from the army of Charles II, through Empire and two World Wars to modern times. The British soldier forms a core component of British history. In this scholarly but gossipy book, Richard Holmes presents a rich social history of the man (and now more frequently woman) who have been at the heart of his writing for decades. Technological, political and social changes have all made their mark on the development of warfare, but have the attitudes of the soldier shifted as much we might think? For Holmes, the soldier is part of a unique tribe -- and the qualities of loyalty and heroism have continued to grow amongst these men. And while today the army constitutes the smallest proportion of the population since the first decade of its existence (regular soldiers make up just 0.087%), the social organisation of the men has hardly changed; the major combat arms, infantry, cavalry and artillery, have retained much of the forms that men who fought at Blenheim, Waterloo and the Somme would readily grasp. Regiments remain an enduring feature of the army and Lieutenant Colonels have lost nothing of their importance in military hierarchy; the death of Lieutenant Colonel Rupert Thorneloe in Afghanistan in 2009 shows just how high the risks are that these men continue to face. Filled to the brim with stories from all over the world and spanning across history, this magisterial book conveys how soldiers from as far back as the seventeenth century and soldiers today are united by their common experiences. Richard Holmes died suddenly, soon after completing this book. It is his last word on the British soldier -- about which he knew and wrote so much.

Yamaha Mg206c Mixer

Yamaha Mg206c Mixer

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Lightweight Portable Designs -Designing a lightweight mixer is not too difficult but designing a lightweight compact mixer that delivers serious performance is another matter. The Yamaha design team went to extraordinary lengths in the MG series including in-depth material and structural analysis to bring you maximum manageability and maximum performance in the same packages. The result is that you can easily pop the smallest models into your briefcase or shoulder bag and take with you anywhere. Even the larger models can be tucked under an arm and carried around quite easily. But the performance youll get at the studio club hall or anywhere you choose to use these fine mixers is far from lightweight. Every one of the MG series mixers provides significant space savings along with huge performance benefits.Versatile Connectivity and Pro-class Connectors - Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. All models feature high-quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors on mono microphone/line channels and XLR-equipped stereo channels. These professional-class connectors were subjected to extensive testing by the Yamaha design team and were chosen for the MG mixers for their superior reliability and sonic qualities. The XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo channels provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of sources. Mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separate pinjack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the output from a CD player or similar stereo source.Built-in Channel Compressors - This advanced feature can be a tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound as well as to refine the sound of bass guitar and other sources. You wont find built-in channel compression on too many other mixers in this class but in the new MG mixers you have Yamahas innovative one-knob compression feature on several of the mono input channels. Conventional audio compressors with their threshold ratio knee makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time consuming to set appropriately for a given source. Yamahas one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree with a single control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want.High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power - Microphone preamplifiers are critical in any mixer and a performance bottleneck in many. Thats why pros often spend thousands of dollars on just a single channel of microphone pre-amplification. The microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit technology from Yamahas top-line professional consoles and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. Gain trim covers a wide - 60d B ~ -16d B range for microphones (-34d B ~ +10d B for line input) so youll be able to achieve optimum level matching with just about any source. All microphone preamps also feature switchable phantom power so you can take advantage of the natural extended response of high-quality condenser microphones.3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filters - Building a truly useful musical-sounding channel equalizer is no easy task but Yamaha has decades of experience in building pro consoles to draw on. You reap the benefits in the MG series mixers: all mono channels feature 3-band equalizers with LOW MID and HIGH controls. Depending on the model some of all of the stereo channels have 2-band EQ for smooth equalization of stereo sources. Although not directly related to the equalizer circuitry all inputs also feature 80 Hz low-pass filters that can be used to eliminate subsonic noise that is outside the equalizers range.Aux/Effect Sends - All models except the MG82CX have from one to three AUX sends for convenient to processing and monitor systems. Master send controls are also provided as are RETURN level controls for the AUX and STEREO busses. "CX" models have EFFECT send controls on all channels that adjust the level of the signal sent from the corresponding channel to the mixers internal multi-effect system. The same signal can also be sent to external effect processors via the mixers EFFECT SEND jack.Six Buses (Stereo and Group) - The smallest models in the lineup - the MG82CX and MG102C - have a single stereo bus (i.e. two mono buses). All other models additionally feature one or two stereo group buses and outputs that can be used for convenient channel grouping. Assign switches for the stereo and group buses are located next to each channel fader.Smooth 60-millimeter Faders & Illuminated Channel ON Switches - While the MG82CX and MG102C feature rotary faders channel and master level control on all other models is accomplished via reliable highperformance... Small Mixers with improved utility - Whether you have a mixing applications that involves only a few channels or up to 32 inputs with substantial signal routing versatility Yamahas MG-series offers a console that will give you the capacity control and performance you deserve. All models are remarkably compact and lightweight for superior handling and portability but absolutely no compromises have been made in terms of features performance or durability. The MG mixers offer an extraordinary blend of technology: some inherited from professional Yamaha mixing consoles youre likely to see in distinguished halls throughout the world and some developed specifically to deliver optimum performance in the MG-console format. In either case these performance-packed mixers are founded on a world-spanning network of human and technological resources that crystallize to deliver features that really matter and sound that is undeniably superior.
