96 kHz FireWire interface for streaming 18 independent channels of audio to computer with near-zero latency S/PDIF digital output 16 Microphone preamps 16 high-definition digital multi-effects (32/40-bit DSP engine) Dual-directional I/O pod saves tabletop and rack space Steinberg Cubase LE workstation software included

The Helix Board 24 Firewire is one of Phonic's newest mixers that sounds great and works hard both in and out of the studio. It features a 96 KHz FireWire interface that lets you individually stream up to 18 independent channels of audio to the computer and return two channels to the mixer for monitoring - all with near-zero latency. Digital S/PDIF output is also provided for direct connection to recording devices like DAT decks. The 3-band EQ with swept mids, insert points for connection to external processors, 6 Aux send mixing bus (2 Aux sends with pre/post buttons), and direct outputs for multi-track recording allow users incredible flexibility with mix control and signal routing. Mono channels have an AUX 5/6 shift button, expanding the number of outputs available. But that's not all. The mixer features a dual-position input/output (I/O) pod that lets you use it as a desktop mixer or convert for rack mounting. The I/O pod rotates out of the way to save space in your rack. The built-in 32/40 bit digital effect processor has 16 awesome programs, main parameter control, footswitch control and tap delay. Low cut filters eliminate P-pops, stage rumble and wind noise. Top it off with a subwoofer output, four true subgroups and individual phantom power switches on every channel, and you've got a perfect medium-sized rack-mountable mixer for live events or studio recording. The Helix Board 24 Firewire also comes with a copy of Steinberg's Cubase LE workstation software.
