[. . . ] MULTI PURPOSE MIXERS FX16ii THE PROFESSIONAL'S CHOICE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, NOW THE FX16 GETS STUNNING 24-BIT LEXICON EFFECTS. Great sound quality, professional build quality, flexible 4-bus architecture and a space-saving sixteen mic inputs and direct outputs in a rack-mounting frame made the original Soundcraft FX16 popular in both live and recording applications. Now the pro's choice gets even better with a new 24-bit Lexicon on-board effects section and universal internal power supply (see right). A comprehensive feature set includes 16 mic/line inputs and 26 inputs to mix in total (including stereo returns and tape return to mix). In addition to the mix outputs, 2 buses allow groups of instruments to be sent to additional speakers, or sub-grouped to mix. [. . . ] FX Send (MFXi only) For sending signal to the internal 24-bit Lexicon effects. Pan, Muting, PFL and Routing The Pan control positions each channel's signal across the stereo image, with an illuminated Mute switch to cut the signal completely. A PFL button solos the signal for monitoring. The mono channels can be routed to either the main Mix outputs or the Sub Groups via the Mix/Grp switch. Faders and Metering Each mono channel features a smooth 60mm fader, along with Signal Present and Peak level indicator LEDs, which are located just above the fader for easy viewing of signal status. STEREO INPUT CHANNEL Input Connectors The stereo inputs are connected via balanced 1/4" jack inputs, delivering optimum performance with other professional audio equipment. EQ Section There are three fixed shelving controls, adjusting HF signals at 8kHz by ±15db, MF signals at 720Hz by ±15db and LF signals at 60Hz by ±15dB. Auxiliary Section With 2 (MFXi) or 3 (MPM) Axum sends on the stereo input channels, the signal can be sent pre-fade (Aux 1), pre or post-fade (Aux 2) or post-fade (Aux 3/FX). Aux 2 is switchable pre or post-fade on the Master section. FX Send (MFXi only) For sending signal to the internal 24-bit Lexicon effects. Bal, Muting, PFL and Routing The balance control adjusts the amount of the signal sent to the left and right busses. Mute and PFL buttons operate as on the mono input channels, cutting or soloing the stereo channel. With PFL pressed, the prefade signal is fed to the headphones, control room output and meters. The stereo input channels can be routed to either the main Mix outputs or the Sub Groups via the Mix/Grp switch. Faders and Metering Each stereo channel features a smooth 60mm fader, and a peak level LED indicating signal levels in excess of +17dBu. MASTER SECTION Effects (MFXi only) A rotary control selects the effect program, with three rotary controls for effect parameters and two to control the effects level sent to Auxes 1 and 2. Buttons for PFL, Mute, Store (user effect set-up) and Tap Tempo (for time/speed-based effects such as delays). The FX return fader has both Signal present and Peak LEDs for easy viewing of signal status. The FX master has AFL switching to check the level of the signal being sent to the FX section (or external processor). +48V Phantom Power Global control over professional +48V phantom power is offered via a push button. 2-Track Inputs and Outputs 2-track recorder playback inputs and record sends are on unbalanced RCA phono connectors. The Playback to Mix control routes the signal directly to the main mix, replacing the signal that is present. Monitor Switching Monitor outputs are selectable from 2-Track input, and Mix or Sub outputs. Monitor Outputs Available on balanced 1/4" jacks, the Headphone and Control Room monitor outputs feature independent level control.
