Introduction
The Fusion is a compact, versatile mixer packed with all the features the modern musician and DJ demands. As the
name suggests Fusion is the combination of three major sound elements. The first is professional mic channels with
smooth and musical E.Q. The second is a high quality DSP processor with studio quality effects to produce
stunning vocals. The third and the most unique feature is the music/D.J. inputs geared to modern club mixing.
Easy to use, incredibly flexible and backed up by quiet studio quality electronics. It can be used free standing or rack
mounted and the host of internal options make the Fusion adaptable to any situation.
Despite the sophistication behind the control panel, the Fusion is very easy to use, though to get the best from your

Club mixer
-
The 4 stereo channels have all the latest features a DJ needs, including -36dB "kill" controls, with a
flexible Booth output (with selectable mic mute), the VCA cross fader is internally adjustable for cross mix, beat mix,
and cut mix. A separate CUE bus bargraph makes beat and level matching with the main outputs easy.
Night club/entertainment venue - The flexible input arrangement can accommodate all types of performer. Small
bands, background music, disco or a simple announcement/PA system can all be easily handled by the Fusion.
Install - The main outputs are on balanced XLR connectors with level adjustment, mic inputs are on the front panel for
easy access. A 20Hz, 18dB/Octave filter on the main outputs reduces out of band signal (from CDs, records and
instruments) reducing power loss and promoting tighter bass in the sound system.
