ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An electronic machine functioning as an audio interface or a sound mixer (so-called ‘mixer-converter analogue/digital pre-amplifier device’), with dimensions of approximately 48 × 18 × 9 cm. It consists of sound and effects processors, an analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converter and a microphone amplifier, in a housing with operating and display elements and various analogue, optical and digital inputs and outputs as well as FireWire ports. It has the following main technical features: — hybrid FireWire/USB2 connectivity (capability to be connected to an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine), — 28-input mixer with digital signal processing effects; — special mixing software, — separate front-panel headphone jacks, each with independent volume control, and — front panel LED status clock. The machine is designed for use in digital music productions in sound studios or live on stage. It can operate in two modes: in conjunction with an ADP machine or in a stand-alone mode. When the machine is used in conjunction with an ADP machine, it serves for converting and processing audio signals supplied from external audio sources and for the pre-amplification of microphone signals. In stand-alone mode, the machine can be used as a mixer with integrated effects. 8543 70 90 Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 5(E) to Chapter 84 and by the wording of CN codes 8543 , 8543 70 and 8543 70 90 . As the machine performs a specific function other than data processing (sound pre-amplification and mixing) it is to be classified in the heading appropriate to its respective function or, failing that, in a residual heading. The function of the machine is not covered more specifically by any heading of Chapter 85. The machine is to be considered a mixing unit covered by heading 8543 (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8543 , fourth paragraph, (4)). The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 70 90 as other machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.
