The SM-FX500 Ultima Professional Mixing Desk 

 

The new SM-FX500 Ultima is a 4-Channel 19” Rack mixer with a built-in DSP. Its compact 5U design houses 
features that you would normally only find in much higher priced units. Designed with both small installations 
and mobile DJ’s in mind it also has a few little extras to protect your system and maintain a high quality sound 
production. 
 
The SM-FX500 Ultima has 3 microphone inputs, two of which are controlled with the dedicated Mic channel and 
one assigned to the 4

th

 channel as a switchable option. Mic’s 1 & 2 share a 3-band EQ and Mic override system. 

Each of the 4 music channels has an individual gain control and 3-band EQ of10dB of Boost and –30dB 
of Kill. Each channel is also easily assignable to the crossfader A or B. 
 
The unit has a built in digital signal processor offering 8 effects which are assignable to each music channel, 
microphone channel, master or crossfade A or B. The effects are linked to the mixers built in BPM counter to 
allow the DJ to ‘Beat-Sync’ the effects at the touch of a button, Alternatively the effects can be manually 
adjusted using the independent parameter time control and the parameter ratio control. The SM-FX500 Ultima 
also has effects specifically for the crossfade, when selected 3 different effects can be activated and controlled 
by moving the crossfade from A-B using the effects to mix from one channel to the next. 
 
The crossfade on the SM-FX500 Ultima is VCA controlled as well as being able to assign effects the user can 
adjust the curve of the fader from a smooth mix to sharp mix. It also has fader start, this will start a compatible 
CD-Player and also stop it return it to the Cue point, this can be a very creative tool when combined with the 
effects. 
 
The SM-FX500 Ultima also has a few installer friendly options. The user can easily replace the channel faders 
and crossfader by removing just a few screws.  For the outputs there is a choice of balanced XLR or 
Unbalanced Phono, the unit also offers a booth output, record output and digital output all recessed into the rear 
of the unit. There is also a master trim level on the rear; this allows the installer to set the maximum output of 
the mixer.
