• 24-track hard disk recorder/editor offers non-compressed 16/24-bit linear operation at 32/44.1/48/96kHz sampling
rates with non-destructive multi-track real-time editing (cut, copy, paste, insert, move, etc.).
• 46-channel digital mixer with 8 groups, phantom power (inputs 1-4), multi-channel digital I/O, stereo digital I/O,
talkback, 2-track input, stereo AUX input and internal digital patchbay.
• 100mm long throw touch sensitive, motorised faders.
• Inputs and disk tracks have 3-band semi-parametric EQ and dynamics processing (compressor, gate) per channel.
• Inputs and disk tracks have 4 pre/post sends switchable to Internal effects or AUX sends per channel.
• Over 50 real-time effects (x 4 channels) which include delay, chorus, flanger, phase shifter, reverb, pitch shifter,
auto-pan, auto/touch-wah, rotary speaker simulation, distortion, EQ, noise gate, compressor/limiter, enhancer
and real-time pitch corrector.
