GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MDR10 is a ten-channel mixer, with ten low noise microphone pre-amps, four output buses and a built-in 24 BIT DSP effects processor. The MDR10 features six mono Mic/Line input channel strips with a three-band, mid-sweep equalizer plus a low cut filter for setting just the right tone on your microphones or instruments. These channels also offer two auxiliary sends that can be used for creating a monitor mix and for routing your signals to effects processors. The mono channels also feature a pan control for creating a stereo image, bus output assign switches and a 60mm fader for setting the level. In addition to the mono inputs, there are four channels set up as Stereo/Dual mono inputs with two-band equalizer, switchable aux send, balance, a utility mic input and 60 mm faders for controlling the level. Clean, clear sound reproduction with dazzling digital effects including Delay, Chorus and lush Reverb, packaged in a rugged enclosure, will ensure reliable high quality sound from performance to performance. Optimized for recording, live sound reinforcement and commercial installations; the MDR10 is an ideal mixer solution offering big sound in a compact package
