Ashly digiMIX 18 18-Channel Digital Mixer
Ashly digiMIX 18
The digiMIX 18 from Ashly comes in a light and compact chassis and is designed as a versatile and user-friendly 18-channel digital console, ideal for mixing live sound in small performance spaces, as well as worship and educational facilities. It's also well suited for recording in project studios.
The unit combines the feel of traditional analog mixers with the convenience and flexibility of a recallable digital mixer. The live-control surface features real knobs, a single motorized 100mm fader which can be assigned to any individual channel, and an Intelligent Meter Bridge that displays signal levels and fader positions. Use the 7" color-LCD touchscreen to navigate sub menus and toggle various settings quickly and intuitively. The unit offers an EZ-Mode with simplified and secure control for non-technical users in schools or houses of worship, and a Normal Mode with the depth and flexibility expected by audio professionals.
The digiMix18 comes with 16 Class-A microphone preamps, 8 auxiliary channels with dedicated outputs, programmable 48V phantom power for all 16 mic pres with status LED button display, and a programmable automix mode for the 16 mic pre channels. DSP options abound, with dynamic and equalization processing, a 31-band graphic EQ, and two stereo effects processors with reverb, delay, chorus, and more. Other features include modular expandability via optional Dante and USB cards, which provide 18 digital inputs and up to 30 digital outputs. Selectable digital audio channel-insert points allow you to record, process in native mode, and/or playback from your favorite DAW using the optional USB-3018 card.
