The FX16ii from SoundCraft is a 16-channel analog mixer for live and recording applications. The second iteration of the popular FX16 analog mixer, the FX16ii boasts classic quality, legendary build, 4-bus architecture, and 16 mic inputs and direct outputs in a rack-mounting frame—as well as adds a 24-bit Lexicon onboard effects section and universal internal power supply. The FX16ii also features 16 mic/line inputs and 26 inputs to mix in total (including stereo returns and tape return to mix), 2 buses for sending groups of instruments to additional speakers (or sub-grouped to your mix), and 16 Direct Outputs that can be individually switchable pre or post fader (great for multitrack recording or live use). Other available features include Solo In Place for studio monitoring and PFL Solo for channel gain set-up.
