Introduction
The CFX
™
Series mixers are comprised of three com-
pact mixers, each having a stereo graphic equalizer and
digital effects built in. The EMAC
™
32-bit digital effects
processor was custom designed by our digital engineers
and rivals the sound of many high-quality
outboard processors.
Like all Mackie mixers, the CFX Series mixers are
designed for rugged, day-in and day-out road use. Their
sturdy-yet-light steel monocoque construction houses
rugged, double-sided SMT-plated fiberglass circuit
boards, and 60 mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals
for keeping out dust and other contaminants. Impact-
resistant knobs are mounted so they “ride” just above
the steel chassis––they absorb impact without trouble.
Furthermore, they’re designed to last, thanks to co-mold-
ed potentiometers that do not get brittle and crack up.
Metal stand-offs are used at regular intervals to mount
thick fiberglass circuit boards inside the mixer. These are
extremely flexible mixers, not only because of their multi-
ple input/output configurations, but also because of their
4 subgroups, 9-band graphic EQ, and built-in
digital effects.
The CFX
•
12 has eight mic/line channels and two stereo
line input channels, the CFX
•
16 has 12 mic/line channels
and two stereo line input channels, and the CFX
•
20 has
16 mic/line channels and two stereo line input chan-
nels. All mic/line channels have unbalanced inserts. Each
channel strip has one external and one internal/external
effects send plus two aux sends, pan, mute, solo (PFL),
bus assigns, and 60 mm log-taper fader. The mic/line
channels also have input trim controls with individual
Zero Level LEDs, 3-band EQ with swept midrange, and
100 Hz low cut filters. Two separate stage monitor mixes
can be created with their own effects levels.
The CFX Series is a true 4-bus mixer, with four sub
bus faders and master ganged Left/Right fader. Outputs
include XLR and TRS balanced/unbalanced main outputs,
a 75 Hz low-pass subwoofer XLR output, extra TRS
