This mixer is suitable for installations in medium to large venues, with an extensive range of useful features for more demanding applications. The mixer offers 8 input channels and 4 zone outputs. The user can choose what input source is sent to each zone output. Line inputs 1-4 have jack inputs for line in and XLR inputs for the microphones. Inputs 1-2 have phantom power switchable. Inputs 5-8 have stereo line inputs via RCA and mono balanced line inputs via jacks. All inputs have gain controls on the back panel, this is to prevent unwanted increase in volume. All outputs are connected via euro blocks, each have an independent mute facility and can be connected to an external input panel(sold separately) via an RJ45 cable. From the front panel, control is easy; Tone controls can be pre set and then simply left alone. Each zone output has a volume control and mute function. The inputs have volume control and 4 switches allowing that input to be sent to any or all of the zone outputs. A paging microphone or input connection panel( both sold separately) can be connected to this mixer via and RJ45 cable.
