Creative Tools

• Connect two microphones through the high-quality GSPre microphone preamps, providing clean and low-noise amplification for vocals, acoustic instruments, presentations and spoken-word applications.
• Plug guitars, basses and other pickup-equipped instruments directly into the two switchable high-impedance inputs without requiring separate DI boxes.
• Connect keyboards, drum machines, media players and other stereo equipment through the two stereo line-input channels, allowing several different sound sources to be combined in one compact system.
• Add reverb, delay and modulation effects using the integrated ZED FX multi-model processor, with independent effects-send control available on every input channel.
• Synchronise compatible delay effects with a performance using the dedicated Tap Tempo button, and adjust editable effect parameters directly from the mixer.
• Power condenser microphones and compatible active DI boxes using global +48 V phantom power across the two XLR microphone inputs.
• Reduce handling noise, stage rumble, vocal popping and proximity effect using the 100 Hz high-pass filter provided on each mono input channel.
• Shape the tonal balance of microphones, instruments and stereo sources using the two-band EQ, with controls centred at 80 Hz for low frequencies and 12 kHz for high frequencies.
• Check individual channels before adding them to the main mix using PFL monitoring through the headphone output and the stereo LED level meters.
• Connect the balanced XLR main outputs directly to powered loudspeakers, a PA system or recording equipment for live performances, rehearsals and small production setups.
• Use the FX output to feed an external effects processor or powered monitor, or connect a compatible latching footswitch to mute the internal effects during a performance.
