Preamps |
 The
microphone preamps provided on the two mono channels and two of the
four stereo channels would be worth the price of the entire mixer if
packaged separately. These are highperformance head amplifiers that
will bring out the best in any dynamic or condenser microphone.

studio condenser microphones, all four high-performance mic preamps feature
switchable phantom power. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all
four channels.

processing to individual channels as required.

provided on all input channels are one more sonic tool you can use to create
clean, professional mixes. All mono microphone input channels also feature a
switchable high-pass filter that can be used to cut out unwanted low-frequency
noise.
