Details
Controls: 3-band EQ derived from Series 80 (sweepable high 1k-15k, sweepable mid 200Hz-3k with adjustable bandwidth, sweepable low 40Hz-650Hz), 50Hz HPF, phantom switch, input reverse switch, LED meter bridge (VU optional)
I/O: DB-25 connections throughout, XLR for Master and Main outputs, 16 direct outputs (DB-25), 8 stereo FX returns, 2 stereo 2-track returns, onboard talkback, headphone output with gain
Notable use: Entry-level 8-bus desk in the Trident lineup; 3-band EQ derived from the classic Series 80
Notes: Preamp gain (65dB) and phantom/reverse switches confirmed, but page did not explicitly state discrete/Class-A circuit topology for this specific model (unlike the 88/78 pages) - topology and year_intro left blank rather than assumed. Trident's own History page timeline did not include a Trident 68 entry.
