A clever monitoring system lets you listen to aux outputs in mono or in stereo pairs. Auxes 1-2 are routed pre-fade for monitors; auxes 3-4 are switchable pre or post-fade for monitors, FX or additional recording or zone feeds; and auxes 5-6 are routed post-fader for FX and aux-fed sub. These pre/post settings can be changed via internal jumpers.
QCC
Fits Anywhere
Our unique QCC (Quick Change Connectors) system lets you swiftly change the position of the connector panel to suit desktop, rack or flightcase mounting. The hard plastic side trims can also be removed to reveal the integral rack ears.

Dual Engine Effects

The FX interface has also been upgraded, with a 7-segment LED display, tap tempo and an encoder to adjust FX parameters. The FX algorithms were developed by the same in-house team that created the highly respected FX suite for our digital touring mixers.
