But that’s not all: the mixer features a dual-position input/output (I/O) pod that lets you use it as a desktop mixer or convert for rack mounting. Mono channels have an AUX 5/6 shift button, expanding the number of outputs available. The 3-band EQ with swept mids, insert points for connection to external processors, 6 AUX send mixing bus (2 AUX sends with pre/post buttons), and direct outputs for multi-track recording allow users incredible flexibility with mix control and signal routing. Digital S/PDIF output is also provided for direct connection to recording devices like DAT decks.

Pre/post buttons, located underneath the console, allow each channel’s EQ and fader (among other controls) to affect the channel’s outgoing USB/FireWire signal, allowing more versatile use. It features 96 KHz USB and FireWire interfaces that let you individually stream up to 18 independent channels of audio to the computer and return two channels to the mixer for monitoring – all with near-zero latency.
