MIXING CONSOLES
The elegant and reliable solution for any audio applications for live or fixed installations.
L-PAD STORY
Since 1949 RCF has produced components such as drivers and woofers used
by some of the world’s most prestigious speaker manufacturers. For more than
30 years RCF has produced its own speakers, that have become a standard
reference in sound reinforcement applications at all professional levels, from
one-man bands to major rock concerts, with audience up to 100,000 people.
RCF also has a major presence in thousands of civil and industrial installations
such as stadia, railway, airports and theme parks worldwide. This constant
presence in the world of speakers has led RCF on to new challenges in their
quest for a completion of its offer; from this research the RCF L-PAD line has
been born.
MAIN FEATURES
RCF L-PAD is a line of compact but high performance audio mixers with enhanced flexibility. The elegant and modern Italian design completes the appeal
of these indispensable tools in any live audio application — from the performance of a rock band or a jazz quartet, to supporting a conference room or a
media centre rather than a museum or library.
The L-PAD line includes 9 different models of mixer:
L-PAD6 - 6 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE
L-PAD6X - 6 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE WITH EFFECTS
L-PAD8C - 8 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE
L-PAD8CX - 8 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE WITH EFFECTS
L-PAD10C - 10 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE
L-PAD12C - 12 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE
L-PAD12CX - 12 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE WITH EFFECTS
L-PAD16CX USB - 16 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE WITH EFFECTS
L-PAD24CX USB - 24 CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE WITH EFFECTS
The models are distinguished by an uncompromising audio quality, by the presence of compressors in seven of the models and internal multi-effects in
five of the models, all in a compact layout with an accurate Italian design. Considerable research has been devoted to the design of warm–sounding and
transparent mic preamps. The compressors installed on the microphone channels of the RCF L-PAD mixer are highly intuitive, with a single knob that
controls the threshold and compression ratio at the same time. The compressors also have a very soft but effective action — the result of an accurate
study of the parameters. The three-band EQ (with selectable frequency on L-PAD 16CX USB and L-PAD 24CX USB) on mono channels and the two bands
on the stereo channels have a very effective intervention thanks to the right choice of frequency of intervention and allow the user to process the input
signal professionally. L-PAD8C - 8CX and 10C can rely on super-tested modular and 45mm faders while on models 12C, 12CX, 16CX USB and 24CX USB
60mm faders are present. A sophisticated DSP takes care of the management of the internal effects; 16 presets are available in the compact L-PAD6X while
L-PAD8CX, 12CX, 16CX USB and 24CX USB have a choice of 99 different presets.

THE PERFECT MATCH
WITH RCF ACTIVE SPEAKERS
TRANSPARENT SOUND
The L-PAD mixer series inherits the RCF concept of “Sound Culture”.
Extreme care in the design and realization of circuits provides L-PAD mixers with sonic transparency, combined with an accurate dynamic and extreme
versatility of use.
RELIABILITY
All mixers in the L-PAD series undergo four extensive instrumental quality tests during their
construction.
At the end of the production process they are tested once again, this time via a listening test, and
are given an aesthetic quality control test to look for the presence of defects such as scratches or
dents. All this is to guarantee a high level of reliability and to ensure the customer purchases a
high quality standard product.
DESIGN
The unique design of the L-PAD series mixers comes from the typically Italian flair and creativity of the RCF design offices.
The line project of the L-PAD mixer combines a modern and ergonomically-superior design. The side profile presents an original aesthetic, ensuring at the
same time that the mixer can be grabbed in an easy and secure way.
ACCESSORIES
Useful in any application. the L-PAD audio mixer line has the ability to
install an add-on board for the optional recording and playback of MP3
audio files.
Files can be collected in a USB pen size up to 32GB and managed by a
convenient, dedicated transport panel.
One further optional Bluetooth card allows connection of devices such as
smartphones or tablets to play music directly into the L-PAD mixer.
