The new Artist Series MC Mix brings the unparalleled speed, resolution and DAW integration of Euphonix’ high-end professional consoles to your studio in a revolutionary ergonomic, slim-line design. The MC Mix easily fits into any studio, sitting perfectly between a computer keyboard and screen, and multiple units can be connected to create a larger, integrated control surface.
The MC Mix lets you effortlessly switch between multiple applications and even workstations at the touch of a button – the touch-sensitive knobs, motorized faders, and high-resolution OLED displays automatically set themselves to whatever application is in the foreground to provide immediate access to multi-format metering, plug-in parameters, EQ curves and much more.
Most importantly, Euphonix has worked closely with the world’s leading software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU, Apogee and others to deeply integrate native support for Euphonix’ EuCon control protocol into their DAWs to deliver an unmatched editing and mixing experience.
