SoundLink Mixers feature

 Unique hybrid analog-digital-analog signal

path gives you the Simplicity of Analog + the

Complete Power of Digital.

 Classic, natural, analog sound from Peter

Watts, one of the original designers of legendary

80’s Trident recording studio consoles.

 Greg Mackie’s practical design structure and

ingenious features that make mixing unpre-

dictable live performances easy for even novices

including.

 True 8-bus conﬁ guration with Group Outputs

makes SoundLink perfect for recording as well as

live mixing.

 Warm, natural mic preamps with the Peter Watts

touch, and the most headroom of any compara-

bly-priced analog or digital mixer… delivered from

16.5V internal voltage — on mono and stereo

channels.

 Best Automatic Feedback Control of any

compact mixer. This design really works!

 Only mixer in its class with Mute Groups for

ﬂ exible input combinations at the touch of a

button.

 Recording-console-quality compression

with one knob instead of complicated settings.

 Unique Paragraphic Equalizer gives access to 31

frequency bands with just 9 controls.

 Special Musician Monitor Section with

“Musician’s Phones” control feature.

 Korg’s renowned 32-bit digital eﬀ ects — 10

at once! Few manufacturers have spent as much

time perfecting realistic digital eﬀ ects as Korg.

In fact, we’re famous for them.

 Velvet Sound brand A/D & D/A converters.

Ranked by “golden ear” audio aﬁ cionados as

among the most preferred converters for me-

ga-expensive DACs, Velvet Sound gives Sound-

Link natural purity and very low .% (!)

distortion.

 Premium internal components including

silky-smooth, long-life ALPS faders and rotary

controls.
