Studiomaster's C6-XS16 is the mixer choice for clients looking for an easy to use mixing console with a familiar, easy to use analog control surface.
It's versatility makes it ideal for event and rehearsal spaces, touring bands and artists, live sound and AV pros/freelancers, and schools and churches.
We've put together a handy features diagram to illustrate the console's features.
Enough Inputs for Most Applications.
The C6-XS16 has 8 mono mic line inputs, 2 mono mic/stereo line inputs, plus an additional 2 stereo line input channels. That's enough for a lot of applications with room to grow.
You have enough mic inputs for most gigging bands, with a modest drum microphone setup, or for church group sound, rehearsal spaces and AV/sound pros and freelancers.
'Big Mixer' Look and Feel.
With a 'raked' design that slopes down towards the user, the C6-XS16 has the ergonomics of a 'big desk'. It has a separate connector board with all the inputs and outputs on the rear for a neat uncluttered appearance during use.
Powerful Channel EQ.
The main input channels of the C6-XS16 feature powerful semi-parametric EQ with a 'swept-mid' that lets you really focus on those frequencies you want to cut or boost, such as the vocal area.
Powerful Aux Section.
The C6-XS16 features 4 auxilliary sends for stage monitors and the built in or external effects processors. Sends 1/2 are fixed pre fade for stage monitors, send 3 is switchable pre/post fade and send 4 is fixed post fade for the in-built effects or an external effects processor. This means that you can have up to 3 stage monitor sends, say, maybe 2 for the front of the stage and one at the rear for drums, etc.
Built-In Digital Effects.
You don't need an external effects processor with 16 built in digital effects programs.
On-Board 'One-Knob' Compressors.
Each of the 8 mono mic channels has a built in 'easy to use' compressor circuit which squeezes the dynamic range of the input signal. This can help really make your vocals stand out or your snare-drum 'crack'.
Subgroups.
Like bigger mixing consoles, the C6-XS16 has subgroups. This lets you control the level of a group of input channels. So you can, for example, control the level of the whole drum kit, horn section, or backing vocals from a single subgroup fader.
All these features inside an enclosure weighing only 7.2kgs and less than 60cms wide, so it doesn't take up too much space and is easily portable with a flight case or even a decent quality mixer gig bag.
So if you're looking for a high quality, easy to use, mixing console with a familiar analog control interface, but more features than most compact mixers, then check out the CX-XS16 at our online store.
