MIXER WITH FIREWIRE
Onyx 1620i
The Onyx 1620i features eight full mono mic/line channels
(each with 4-band dual sweep Perkins EQ), four stereo channels (each with 3-band Perkins EQ), four aux sends on
all channels with pre/post capability and a powerful master
section.
The Onyx 1620i is equipped with 16x2 FireWire capability,
allowing all channels, aux sends and main L/R to be routed
to any desired DAW, including Pro Tools® 9 and M-Powered™
8. The FireWire output from the computer may be brought
back straight into a channel strip for easy mix integration.
FireWire aggregation allows multiple Onyx 1620i mixers to
be connected.
Each mono channel has an Onyx mic preamp, phantom
power, an input Gain control with 60 dB of gain, a sharp 18
dB/octave, 75 Hz Low Cut filter, Pan, Mute, Solo, a 60mm
fader and a Channel Insert jack for connecting an external
processor.
FEATURES:
■ 16-channel premium analog mixer with integrated 24-bit / 96 kHz FireWire I/O
■ Eight Onyx boutique quality mic preamps
There are built-in DIs on the first two channels for direct connection of guitars or bass and a dedicated talkback section for easy communication with band members on
stage or during recording sessions.
■ 4-band Perkins EQ with sweepable mids on mic/line channels
Other features include a stereo tape input and output, a 1/4-inch stereo headphone jack, stereo 12-segment LED
meters and XLR and TRS stereo output jacks.
