Soundcraft FX16II 16-mono 4-stereo Rtn Console
Overview
Description
The Soundcraft FX16II 16-mono 4-stereo Rtn Console has 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 (see right).
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 fader pre-post switchable making them equally useful for multitrack recording or live use and both Solo In Place and PFL solo are available, for studio monitoring and channel gain set-up applications respectively.
All 16 mic/line inputs are equipped with high quality UltraMic preamps while a ‘truly British’ 3-band EQ with swept mid benefits from custom designed pots which give greater control across carefully chosen frequencies. There are 4 Auxiliary Sends, including a dedicated effects send, 1 prefade send and 2 pre/post-fader selectable sends which are equally useful as extra foldback sends or as effects sends in studio mixdown situations. In addition, there are 4 Stereo returns, a separate Mono Sum Output and 2 Subgroup Outputs.
A truly professional feature set is completed by 100mm faders for precision mixing control, and the FX16ii fits all of these features into a rugged, compact frame which can be optionally rackmounted into a 10U space. Cables can be conveniently located behind the rack by simply rotating the connector pod.
