Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for compact live and studio systems, the MG12XU combines twelve channels of analog mixing with USB audio and onboard SPX processing. Its six mono MIC/LINE channels and three stereo LINE channels give a straightforward layout for combining microphones and stereo sources. The mono channels include phantom power, a PAD, one-knob compression, three-band EQ, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter. When recording, the USB connection sends the main mix to a DAW at up to 192 kHz/24-bit.
Strong match
Who this is for
