DIGIMIX18

The digiMIX18 is a digital mixing soluon that maintains

all key features of the digiMIX24 in a more compact, rack-mountable model. The digiMIX18 gives you 18 inputs and 12 output buses (18x12) and maintains the

same powerful real-me live control that give users instant access to all major funcons. You have the ex-

ibility to accommodate instruments, voices and signals from various sources. Also equipped with Class-A mic pre's designed exclusively by Ashly, so you know great sound is always a standard feature!

With its tradional analog feel, the Live Control Surface allows opmum control with real knobs and a live fader when selecng important funcons, while oering con-

veniences of a responsive touchscreen, USB interfacing, and companion Apple iPad® App. Together, it's the ideal mixing experience.

Modular expandability via oponal Dante® and USB

cards which provide 18 digital inputs and up to 30 digital

outputs. Selectable Digital Audio Channel-Insert points allow you to record, process in nave mode, and/or playback from your favorite DAW using our USB-3018 opon card. Useful for capturing or enhancing your live

performance.
