Complete Range of Input Channels
This model is equipped with four mono input channels (channels 1 to 4) and four mono/stereo input channels (channels
5/6 to 11/12).
Up to eight microphones can be connected. Line-level devices such as keyboards and CD players can also be connected
to each channel. In addition, channel 4 can be used with Hi-Z inputs used to directly connect an instrument such as a
guitar or bass guitar.
Compressor
This product is equipped with the popular 1-knob COMP function used in MGP and MG series models. By simply
operating a single control, it is possible to get optimal compression for vocals and instruments.
Comprehensive, Professional Effects and Signal Processing
This product is equipped with a powerful, comprehensive DSP section that provides the following effects and proces-
sors:
• A total of 24 different effects that are in the same league as our famed SPX effect processor series used by profes-
sionals. (See page 11.)
• A feedback suppressor, which automatically prevents undesirable feedback noise. (See section @4 on page 13.)
• A Flex-type graphic equalizer (Flex9GEQ) that allows you to select up to nine bands out of a total of 31 for fine tun-
ing. (See page 19.)
• A speaker processor that allows the connected speakers to be used to their full performance potential. (See page 16.)

ume output while remaining relatively lightweight.
It also has a built-in overload protection function to improve reliability.
