The new digiMIX18 is a compact and road-worthy digital mixer. Designed so a novice or pro can easily mix a live band, high school musical, worship service, or corporate event without compromising flexibility or sound quality. Unlike other “touch-mixers”, digiMIX doesn’t rely on Wi-Fi to mix. The Live Control Surface allows quick access when selecting important functions, while offering a 7” LCD touchscreen, intelligent fader/meter bridge, and a FREE App for Apple iPad®. The single Alps® motorized fader allows fast access to each channel and recalled quickly. Six DCA groups allow easy adjustment of group levels for a drum kit, or a church choir, for example. Ashly’s renowned Class-A mic preamps assure that great sound is always a standard feature. Features include rack-rails, Ethernet and USB control ports and an expansion slot for Dante or USB 18-channel option cards.
