MLX2842

28-Input 6-Bus Premium Live Mixer with 24-bit PROFEX digital effects and USB interface

MLX2842 is a large format mixer combining a large number of channels with a full set of features designed to fit any professional sound reinforcement application.The 20 MONO input channels feature ultra-low noise, high-headroom preamps, able to capture the full range of any instrument. The 4-band EQ with two sweep mids has a great response for tweaking your sound in the most musical way, while the EQ ON/OFF switch allows instant comparison. Each model includes two STEREO channels with 4-band EQ. The 6 AUX sends can be set pre- or post-fader in pairs. AUX sends 1 to 4, with 60mm faders and 3-band EQ, provide effective control of the stage monitoring. AUX sends 5&6 can be routed to the two internal effects, to external outboard or used as two additional monitor sends. Two STEREO RETURNS with full routing allow to connect external outboard or two additional stereo instruments.All the channels together with the four GROUPS and the MAIN MIX feature 100mm long-wearing high-quality faders for the most accurate level control.The MLX mixers include two 24-bit PROFEX digital effects able to provide 256 studio-grade gig-ready effect algorithms: this allows to enhance your mix with natural high-resolution reverb or delay effects without the need of external outboard. The effects can be selected thru a convenient LCD display and they can be freely routed to the monitor sends, the groups and the main mix.The MLX series features a built-in USB interface to get CD quality audio to and from your computer: thru the USB interface you can play audio files from the PC or record your live performance directly on hard-disk. The MLX USB interface offers the possibility to route the INPUT signal directly to the MAIN MIX or to STEREO channel 2 and to get the OUTPUT signal from the MAIN MIX or from GROUPS 1&2.The MLX MASTER section offers plenty of services and useful features, such as a MAIN MUTE switch, a TALKBACK section and separate PHONES and MONITOR level controls. Two USB sockets are available for connecting 5V USB LAMPS.The intuitive control surface layout and the color-coded ergonomic knobs of MLX mixers allow to locate easily each function and makes them extremely easy to use. Both models are hosted in a rugged and road-proof metal chassis.
