Stereo USB) and 16 outputs offer tremendous
signal management flexibility for a wide range
of applications.

TouchMix “Pro” Features

version of the TouchMix-8 and TouchMix-16,
The TouchMix-30 Pro offers a host of
additional, new “Pro” features including:

• Large (10-inch) multi-touch touchscreen
offers more on-screen information while
also providing greater hands-on control

• Anti-Feedback and Room Tuning Wizards
simplify complex equalization tasks

• Two real-time analyzers (RTA) provide
instantaneous display of channel tonal
balance and room response

“multing” and rearrangement of inputs

• Eight sub-groups with 6-band full
parametric EQ, variable high- and
low-pass filters and limiter may be linked
for stereo

• 32-channel direct-to-hard drive
record/playback capture and recall
performances without the need for a
computer

• 32-Channel DAW interface with Mac

®

computers allows for bidirectional I/O with
popular workstation software

• MP3 playback direct from USB

Additionally, the TouchMix-30 Pro offers even
more of what you would expect and demand
from a TouchMix Series mixer:

• 24 class-A microphone preamps deliver
pristine, studio-quality audio

• Over 120 live instrument, microphone and
other audio source presets created in live
environments provide mix-ready channel
settings

• All outputs feature 1/3 octave graphic
equalization and 6-band parametric EQ
plus limiters, delay and 12-band notch
filters

• 14 mono mixes may be paired for stereo
while two pairs of Auxes can drive wired
in-ear monitors (IEM) directly

• Six stereo effects processors plus
pitch-correct offer studio-grade signal
enhancements, without sacrificing Auxes
or additional channels

Audio Quality

With professional-grade, class-A microphone
preamps, top quality converters and attention
to design detail throughout the signal path, the
TouchMix-30 Pro delivers pristine audio quality
that rivals mixers at several times its cost.

Usability

Modern digital mixing consoles are all fully
featured — sometimes to the point of being
nearly incomprehensible to all but the most exper­ienced operator. The TouchMix design team
set out from the start to create a mixer with an
intuitive workflow and straightforward naviga­tion that is understandable for the less exper­ienced user and fast for the professional — all
without sacrificing features or capabilities. As a
result, the mixer is extremely easy to learn and
operate. Many TouchMix functions such as
EQ, compressors, gates and limiters offer a
choice of Advanced Mode operation with total
control over all parameters or Simple Mode
that presents only the most essential controls.

Presets

The TouchMix-30 Pro contains a comprehensive
library of Channel Presets. These are not typical,
generic, one-size-fits-all settings developed in a
recording studio. Experienced, live sound
engineers spent months in live venues working
with musicians, all manner of instruments,
popular microphones and pickups and multiple
speaker systems to develop a library of settings
that are specifically designed for live sound
reinforcement of music and speech. Even the
most experienced operators will find that these
presets let them get a great mix together in
record time.

Wizards

An Anti-Feedback Wizard helps the operator
“ring out” a system using the 12 adjustable
notch filters which are available on all 16
outputs. A Room Tuning Wizard assists the
operator in adjusting equalization and fine
tuning a loudspeaker system to an acoustical
space. An Effects Wizard guides the user
through the selection and assignment of
appropriate effects from the six onboard effects
processors — each carefully built and tuned to
deliver the character and quality of sound live
sound engineers depend on. Finally, the Gain
Wizard continuously monitors and displays
input clipping indicators along with providing
guidance on properly setting gain trim.

Real Time Analyzers (RTA)

There are two real time analyzers (RTA) on board
the mixer. One RTA may be displayed along with
the equalizer of any currently selected input or
output channel. A second, independent RTA may
be assigned to display the audio signal of any
output, the Cue buss or the Talkback microphone
input. Both analyzers may be displayed on the
mixer’s screen or on an external tablet device.

Abundant, Flexible Aux Mixes

Performers are increasingly demanding when it
comes to monitor mixes. Not only do individual
musicians want their own mix, but the use of
in-ear monitors (IEM) is increasing, driving a
need for stereo Aux mixes. To meet this require­ment, the TouchMix-30 Pro offers 14 Aux
busses. All Aux busses may be linked for
stereo operation and mixes 11/12 and 13/14
include additional outputs that can drive wired
in-ear monitors directly.

Multi-Track Recording

The TouchMix-30 Pro is capable of recording 32
tracks of audio directly to an external USB hard
drive – no computer required. All inputs plus a
stereo mix are created in 32-bit Broadcast Wave
format. Tracks can be played back and mixed
down on the mixer or imported into most DAW
software for over-dubs and post production.

Compact and Complete

Because of its unique and powerful touch
screen user interface, the TouchMix-30 Pro is
a complete, fully-featured digital mixing console
small enough to be carry-on luggage or rack
mounted (with optional accessory kit). The
multi-touch, graphic, color touchscreen provides
display of and access to mix parameters. Mixer
parameters may be adjusted on the screen or
via the physical rotary encoder. Frequently used
functions can be accessed or controlled using
hardware buttons.

TouchMix-30 Pro Control App

Full wireless, remote mixer control from iOS and
Android tablet devices over Wi-Fi is supported.
Multiple devices can be deployed simultaneously
to duplicate the mixer’s features and allow
control of all functions. If desired, the operator
may limit a given device to control only specific
mixes. Personal monitor mixing using iOS and
Android smartphones is also supported, with
app controls limited to mix levels only and, as
with the tablet app, a device may be limited to
specific mixes by the mixer operator.

The TouchMix-30 Pro’s Anti-Feedback Wizard is just one of its many powerful time-saving tools

Copy and Paste

A Copy And Paste function makes it easy to
copy the settings of an EQ, compressor, gate, a
complete channel or even a complete mix and
paste it where you want it as easily as you would
in your favorite word processor.

Groups

The TouchMix-30 Pro includes eight DCA and
eight Mute groups as well as eight subgroups
with Parametric EQ and compressors. Eight of
the Aux busses can also function as mix-matri-
ces with the main output and subgroups
available in addition to the input channels.

Scenes

User scenes may be stored or recalled from
either internal or USB memory and at the user’s
option, scenes may include or omit main and
auxiliary mix levels.

DAW Interface

The TouchMix-30 Pro supports Core Audio and
is capable of providing audio input and output to
most DAW software running on Mac

®

computers.
