HELIX BOARD 12FW MKII 



12ch Analog Mixer  



with Firewire Interface

DESCRIPTION

The Helix Board 12 FireWire MKII is part of the new generation of Phonic's popular Helix Board mixers. It features a 96 KHz FireWire interface that lets you individually stream up to 10 independent channels of audio to the computer and return two channels to the mixer for monitoring - all with zerolatency. Pre/Post switches on each input channel allow users to adjust the outgoing FireWire signal between a pre-EQ, pre-fader, pre-low cut, to a "post" signal. An onboard 32/40-bit digital multi-effect processor provides 100 popular programs, tap delay and a foot switch jack. Four extremely low noise Mic/Line preamps, each with 75 Hzlow cut filters, inserts and phantom power, and two stereo Line channels offer a variety of input options. Each channel has a 3-band EQ and an option to send the signal to the ALT 3-4 stereo bus, where several inputs can be grouped and controlled together. And trackingindividual inputs is easy with the stereo Aux cue. Stereo RCA inputs and outputs make the addition of digital and analog playback and recording devices effortless. Additional features include two Aux sends, two stereo Aux returns, balanced stereo Main Outs, master Aux section with EFX to monitor, Control Room/Phones source matrix and Steinberg's Cubase LE digital audio workstation software.
