Soundcraft FX16ii 16-Channel Analog Mixer

Great sound quality, professional build quality, flexible 4-bus architecture and a space-saving sixteen mic inputs and direct outputs in a rack-mounting frame made the original Soundcraft FX16 popular in both live and recording applications. Now the pro’s choice gets even better with a new 24-bit Lexicon on-board effects section and universal internal power supply.

A comprehensive feature set includes 16 mic/line inputs and 26 inputs to mix in total (including stereo returns and tape return to mix). In addition to the mix outputs, 2 buses allow groups of instruments to be sent to additional speakers, or sub-grouped to mix. 16 Direct Outputs are individually switchable pre or post fader, making them equally useful for multitrack recording or live use. Both Solo In Place and PFL solo are available, for studio monitoring and channel gain set-up applications respectively.
