OFFLINE Proel MQ12USB 12 Channel Analog Mixer

Full Description

Compact and professional

Perfect for running small live shows or doing affordable home recording, the MQ12USB delivers fantastic analog sound. Low-noise analog preamps add weight to your sounds while staying clean and clear. Then, an expansive 24-bit effects section with 100 presets let you add character and space to your mix. From subtle room reverbs to expansive halls, mono and stereo delays for custom echo, and flanger and chorus effects. The MQ12USB delivers a world of sound in a small, portable package.

Deep sound sculpting

You always want your mixer to provide you enough control to deliver a great sound, and that's exactly what the MQ12USB does. Instant one-knob compression on the mixer's mono channels makes it easy to balance or add some extra punch to a sound. Meanwhile three-band EQ on the four mic/line channels deliver the tone you need to make any sound shine.

Enhanced connectivity

The MQ12USB adds a few new routing options over the smaller models in the range. First and foremost, USB connectivity makes it quick and easy to use this mixer as an audio interface in its own right, connecting directly to your computer. This is perfect for home recording and project studios, as well as recording live sets. A monitor send makes it capable of connecting to a multi-channel headphone amp for in-ear monitoring, or speakers to check a mix. A stereo group bus allows you to route your instruments into one controllable bus, for separate processing and routing to the rest of a mix.
