in excellent audio quality.
NEOMIX
The
Series mixing consoles are equipped with a state-
of-the-art switched-mode power supply (
SMPS
). Unlike con-
ventional circuitry an SMPS provides an optimum supply current
regardless of the input voltage. And thanks to its considerably
higher efficiency a switched-mode power supply uses less energy
than conventional power supplies.
NEOMIX
The USB interface supplied with the unit is a perfect match for
the NEOMIX Series and serves as a powerful recording interface
to you PC or MAC. It supports the digital transmission of signals
on up to four channel with max 48 kHz and extremely low latency.
When wired to the CD/TAPE INPUT and OUTPUT connectors, t he in-
terface transfers the stereo mix from the console directly to a
computer. Both the recording signals and the playback signal from the
computer can be monitored at the same time.
I n this way, you can use several recording runs to produce complete
multi-track recordings.
