Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Rack processor that sits between mixer and amps for EQ and loudspeaker control. For anyone running a fixed PA or a portable live rig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small clubs or houses of worship with a permanent PA
- Portable rigs wanting one box for EQ and output routing
- Tuning a room with a measurement mic instead of by ear
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio monitoring — this is built for live loudspeaker management
- Powered speakers whose onboard DSP already does this job
- Rigs needing more than six outputs or two inputs
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
XLR connections
Balanced only. You need XLR cables or adapters if your amps take TRS or RCA.
Detail 03
RTA mic input with +15 VDC phantom
Powers a measurement mic directly, so you can measure the room without borrowing a mixer channel.
Detail 04
+22 dBu maximum output
Enough headroom to drive pro amp inputs hard without the processor clipping first.
Detail 05
20 Hz–20 kHz, ±0.5 dB
Flat across the audible band, so any tonal change you hear comes from your settings.
Detail 06
48 kHz sample rate
One fixed rate. Fine for live sound, but there is no high-rate mode for studio work.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a rack space and XLR cables to your amps; none included
- 02A measurement mic for RTA tuning is a separate purchase
- 03Input jumpers set headroom — check them before feeding a hot console
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need a mixer?
Yes. This handles EQ and loudspeaker control after the mix. It has two line inputs, so a console still does the actual mixing.
02Can it feed more than one speaker zone?
Six outputs are available, so you can drive several amp channels from the two inputs. How you split them is down to your routing.
03Does it power a measurement mic?
Yes. The RTA mic input supplies +15 VDC phantom, enough for a measurement mic. No external phantom supply needed.
04Will it work with powered speakers?
Yes, if they accept balanced XLR line input. Max output is +22 dBu, well above what a powered speaker expects to see.
