Phonic Helix 24 Universal 24 Channel USB/FireWire Mixer is part of
Phonic´s popular HelixBoard series of FireWire-enabled Mixers. Stream
up to 18 independent channels of audio to the computer individually and
return two channels to the mixer for monitoring - all with zero latency
thanks to the 96 KHz FireWire Interface. Pre/post Buttons allow each
channel´s EQ and fader (among other controls) to affect the channel´s
outgoing FireWire signal, allowing more versatile use. Digital S/PDIF
output is also provided for direct connection to recording devices like
DAT decks. 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. Mono
channels have an AUX 5/6 shift button, expanding the number of outputs
available. 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. The I/O pod rotates out of the way to save
space in your rack. The built-in 32/40-bit digital effect processor has
100 popular programs, tap-delay, test tones (pink noise, 1kHz, etc),
and footswitch jacks. Low cut filters eliminate P-pops, stage rumble
and wind noise.
Top it off with a subwoofer output, four true subgroups and
individual phantom power switches on every channel, and you´ve got a
perfect medium-sized rack-mountable mixer for live events or studio
recording. Steinberg´s Cubase LE digital audio workstation software
also included!
