The
Helix Board 12 FireWire is one of Phonic's newest mixers that sounds
great and works hard both in and out of the studio. It features a 96
KHz FireWire interface that lets you individually stream up to 10
independent channels of audio to the computer and return two channels
to the mixer for monitoring - all with near-zero latency. An onboard
24-bit digital multi-effect processor provides 16 popular programs plus
one main parameter control, tap control and a foot switch jack. Four
extremely low noise Mic/Line preamps, each with 75 Hz low cut filters,
inserts and phantom power, and two stereo Line channels offer a variety
of input options. Each channel has a 3-band EQ and an option to send
the signal to the ALT 3-4 stereo bus, where several inputs can be
grouped and controlled together. And tracking individual inputs is easy
with the stereo Aux cue. Mini stereo and stereo RCA inputs and outputs
make the addition of digital and analog playback and recording devices
effortless, while trim control makes record out level matching
trouble-free. Additional features include two Aux sends, two stereo Aux
returns, balanced stereo Main Outs, master Aux section with EFX to
monitor, Control Room/Phones source matrix and Steinberg's Cubase LE
workstation software.
