CFX Series MIXERS CFX™ Series CFX SERIES 12-, 16-, and 20-Channel Mic/Line Mixers Introduction  The CFX™ Series mixers are comprised of three com- pact mixers, each having a stereo graphic equalizer and digital effects built in. The EMAC™ 32-bit digital effects processor was custom designed by our digital engineers and rivals the sound of many high-quality outboard processors.  Like all Mackie mixers, the CFX Series mixers are designed for rugged, day-in and day-out road use. Their sturdy-yet-light steel monocoque construction houses rugged, double-sided SMT-plated fiberglass circuit boards, and 60 mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals for keeping out dust and other contaminants. Impactresistant knobs are mounted so they "ride" just above the steel chassis--they absorb impact without trouble. Furthermore, they're designed to last, thanks to co-molded potentiometers that do not get brittle and crack up. Metal stand-offs are used at regular intervals to mount thick fiberglass circuit boards inside the mixer. These are extremely flexible mixers, not only because of their multiple input/output configurations, but also because of their 4 subgroups, 9-band graphic EQ, and built-in digital effects.  The CFX•12 has eight mic/line channels and two stereo line input channels, the CFX•16 has 12 mic/line channels and two stereo line input channels, and the CFX•20 has 16 mic/line channels and two stereo line input channels. All mic/line channels have unbalanced inserts. Each channel strip has one external and one internal/external effects send plus two aux sends, pan, mute, solo (PFL), bus assigns, and 60 mm log-taper fader. The mic/line channels also have input trim controls with individual Zero Level LEDs, 3-band EQ with swept midrange, and 100 Hz low cut filters. Two separate stage monitor mixes can be created with their own effects levels.  The CFX Series is a true 4-bus mixer, with four sub bus faders and master ganged Left/Right fader. Outputs include XLR and TRS balanced/unbalanced main outputs, a 75 Hz low-pass subwoofer XLR output, extra TRS (continued on page 3) RELATED PRODUCTS SRM350/SRM450 Active Loudspeaker, SR1530 Threeway Active Loudspeaker, SWA 1501 and SWA 1801 Active Subwoofers, M•800, M•1400, M•1400i Power Amplifiers, C200/C300z Passive 2-Way Loudspeakers Features  High headroom mic preamps  CFX•12 channels (8 mic/line mono, 2 stereo line)  CFX•16 channels (12 mic/line mono, 2 stereo line)  CFX•20 channels (16 mic/line mono, 2 stereo line)  32-bit EMAC digital effects  External and internal EFX sends  EFX to Monitor control  9-band stereo graphic equalizer  Inserts on all mic channels and main mix  True 4-bus design with direct sub outs and L/R assign  2 Pre/Post aux sends and internal/external FX level sends  3-band EQ with swept mid (100 Hz to 8 kHz) on mic/line  4-band EQ on stereo line channels  Pan, Mute, PFL solo on each channel  100 Hz low-cut filters on all mic/line channels  Subwoofer output from built-in 18 dB/octave, 75 Hz crossover  Break switch mutes all channels  Headphone output with level control  Tape/CD inputs with level control assignable to Main Mix via Break switch  Logarithmic taper 60 mm faders  48 V phantom power  12 V BNC lamp jack Applications  Live sound mixing for churches, clubs, schools, conference centers, tradeshows, presentations  Keyboard, drum machine, and DJ mixing  A/V presentations, multimedia 1 OF 8 PAGES
