TouchMix Series

Compact Digital Mixer

TouchMix-16

The TouchMix Series offers musicians, production professionals and live performance venues the power and capability of a large format console in a highly portable, fully integrated, affordable and easy to use product.

Just as digital cameras offer advanced features to meet the needs of skilled professional photographers combined with “point and shoot” features to assist novice users in achieving optimum results, the

TouchMix-8 (12 input channels) and

TouchMix-16 (20 input channels) provide the user a choice of Advanced Mode operation that offers total control over all parameters or

Simple Mode that provides only the most essential controls.

“Big Mixer” Features and Specifications

TouchMix Series “no asterisk” specifications include 4-band, fully parametric

EQ with variable hi-and lo-pass filters, as well as comprehensive dynamics processing on each input channel. Four mix busses feed four internal, professional, digital effects processors. Comprehensive dynamics, graphic EQ, hi-pass, lo-pass and notch filters and delay are available on both the main and aux outputs and there are 8 DCA groups with mutes as well as 8 mute groups.

Mixers 5

TouchMix-16 TouchMix-8

With four (TouchMix-8) or ten (TouchMix-16) auxiliary output channels,

TouchMix also has ample stage monitor mixing capability. Both models have the ability to drive, wired stereo in-ear monitors directly.

Fast, Professional Results

TouchMix features a comprehensive library of Channel Presets, created specifically for the unique requirements of live sound reinforcement.

Designed by veteran live sound engineers utilizing all types of instruments, popular microphones and pickups as well as multiple types of speaker systems, these presets help the user achieve great results quickly. The mixers’ onboard Effects Wizard guides the user through the selection and assignment of appropriate effects while the Gain Wizard continuously monitors and displays input clipping. TouchMix also comes with a comprehensive library of complete Mixer Scenes, and all user parameters of any mix can be saved, both internally and via USB drive.

Compact and Complete

The TouchMix Series models are completely self-contained and require no external PC or video display. The graphic, color touch-screen provides access to all mix parameters along with a physical rotary encoder and hardware buttons. The available Remote Control App for iOS

*

phones and tablets controls all mixer parameters and the included USB Wi-Fi adapter creates the network connection between the mixer and the hand-held device. While no additional hardware is required, wired or wireless connection to an external or infrastructure router is also supported. The mixer is also capable of direct, multi-track recording to an external USB hard drive in 32-bit broadcast wave format. Tracks can be mixed down or played back on the mixer or imported into most DAW software for over-dubs and post-production. TouchMix Models also come complete with their own padded carrying case, for transport and protection.
