M 18 Digital Mixer User’s Manual

M 18 features

Overview

The M 18 Digital Mixer is a feature-packed unit that includes several of the useful blocks required to arrange a good-

sounding live act.

Signal processing capabilities of the M 18 Digital Mixer

In addition to the usual essential processing blocks that are present in every mixer (equalizers, compressors), several

effects are available, arranged as follows:

 Three global stereo effects, each with a dedicated FX SEND buss

 Two 5-stage MultiFX blocks, dedicated to channels 9 and 10; in each of these two blocks, an amp simulator is

available

 Two 3-stage MultiFX blocks, dedicated to channels 5 and 6 or 9 and 10

 A highly musical Mastering Processor on the MAIN L & R output signals

 A 31-band stereo Graphic Equalizer on the MAIN L& R output signals, after the Mastering Processor

The MultiFX blocks can be managed independently from the mixer, with a set of memories (which we call PATCHES), to

allow the same flexibility which would be available with an external multieffect unit.

A total of 13 summing busses are present in the M 18 Digital Mixer:

 MAIN left & right buss

 FX SEND 1,2,3 buss

 AUX SEND 1,2,3,4,5,6 buss

 Stereo PHONES buss

Among these, the stereo personal monitor deserves special mention.
