Mishka & Grishka both feature a slim desktop remote control unit
plus a 9.5 inch wide, 1U rack unit.
Both devices can either be used as a stand alone unit or they can be attached to a monitor controller
to expand it's possibilities. In fact you can cascade as many Mishkas and Grishkas as you like to get
virtually unlimited inputs and outputs. You can even build a dedicated Four In/Four Out routing system
by simply attaching a Mishka directly to a Grishka.
Operation is simple: Mishka features four balanced stereo inputs and one balanced stereo output.
You select the desired input by pressing the according button on the remote control and
Mishka switches the internal relays to route the signal to the buffered output. You can
also activate the summing mode in which Mishka will not just select one out of four stereo
signals but instead sum up all the inputs you select via the remote.
Grishka on the other hand takes one balanced stereo input and routes it to any of four
balanced stereo outputs (all buffered to avoid any trouble with differing impedances of connected units).
On the remote control, you can also choose to program the
individual buttons so that when switching to a certain output, selected other outputs will
automatically become switched off. Thus, you may use Grishka e.g. to hook up
three stereo speaker sets plus one subwoofer, all connected to one single stereo output of for
example the Oktopussy monitor controller.
