Utility outputs that are independent of the master gain
control, and tape and sub bus outputs.
The EMAC Digital Effects section includes four con-
trols at the top. EFX 2 regulates the signal level being
sent to the EMAC effects processor from an individual
channels strip’s EFX 2 aux send. The overall level is
monitored by the CLIP LED to prevent overload. TO
MAIN MIX controls the amount of effects sent to your
main mix. The two EFFECTS TO MONITOR knobs let you
(continued from page 1)
add effects to stage monitor mixes independently of
the EFX levels added to the main mix. Below the level
controls is the preset selector for picking which effect
you want. The characteristics of these presets can be
changed with the TIME/RATE and DAMPING/DEPTH
knobs. Between these controls are a BYPASS SWITCH
and an EFX WIDE control. Wide adds psychoacoustic
“width” or “depth” to all effects except delay and
phaser.
The Stereo Graphic Equalizer is nine bands with
+15 dB of gain and centers at 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz,
500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, and 16 kHz. This
EQ is exceptionally low-noise, low-distortion, and free
of phase distortion.
Trim Controls have 50 dB of mic gain, +30 dB of
line-level gain, and a full 15 dB of attenuation to
“pad” hot signals. Each channel also includes a Zero
Level Set LED for easy level setting. All mic channels
have a 100 Hz low cut filter to reduce stage vibra-
tion, mic stand rumble, and wind noise. Each channel
includes a Pre-Fader Solo switch.
Channel EQs are as follows: 12 kHz shelving HIGH
frequency EQ, sweepable peaking Midrange EQ
(only on mono input channels), with a 100 Hz to 8
kHz bandwidth. Stereo channels employ a 2-stage
fixed-frequency MID EQ, HI-MID is centered at 3 kHz;
LOW-MID is centered at 400 Hz; and a LOW EQ that is
shelved at 80 Hz.
Log-taper 60 mm faders deliver a consistent fade
throughout the fader’s throw. These faders have a
co-polymer membrane that provides a continuously
sealed barrier against dust and liquids without inter-
fering with fader travel. Similarly, the fader’s long-
wearing contact material (first designed for use in
exterior automotive sensors) means longer fader life
and improved resistance to the elements.
The CFX Series mixers are designed for continuous,
hassle-free use in any sound reinforcement instal-
lation. And they’re packed with useful features and
practical routing capabilities. Simply stated, these
mixers offer more features, more peace of mind, and
more possibilities than any other mixers in their class.
And they're Mackies.
