Mackie CFX16-MKII
16 CHANNELS OF MACKIE MIXING WITH SUPERB BUILT-IN EFFECTS
Designed to take the hassle out of mixing live performances, Mackie's CFX.mkII Series
compact live sound mixers feature genuine Mackie mic preamps, four subgroups, precise
nine-band stereo graphic equalizers for greater sonic control, and onboard EMAC"!
32-bit digital effects eliminating the need for outboard effects processors and cables.
Combined with Mackie Active loudspeakers, the CFX.mkII mixers are part of a complete,
easy-to-use Mackie sound system.
What's new in CFX.mkII? New impact-resisting rubber side panels for better durability.
New ergonomic updates including sturdier, more precise Onyx Series knobs. And new
graphics, for better visibility in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. Best of all,
the new CFX.mkII mixers come at a suggested retail price significantly lower than
the original CFX Series.
THE FEATURES YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE All CFX.mkII mic/line channels feature
genuine Mackie mic preamps, renowned for their high-headroom, low-noise operation.
Additional channel features include unbalanced inserts and input Trim controls with
individual Zero Level LEDs,
3-band EQ with swept midrange, and 100Hz low cut filters for eliminating mic rumble.
Each channel strip has a 60mm log-taper fader, one external, and one internal/external
effects send; plus two Aux sends, pan, mute, solo (PFL), and bus assigns. The mixers
also offer phase-accurate 9-band stereo graphic EQ for easy tonal shaping (and feedback
supression). All three models allow two separate stage monitor mixes to be created
with their own effects levels. See how its done here. (JPG or PDF)
Sweet touches abound on the CFX.mkII Series like a simple, yet utterly handy Break
Switch, that lets you mute all the channels, and instantly play any souce you've
plugged into the Tape inputs. (Perfect for those moments when you have to take care
of business offstage, and don't want some overzealous fan grabbing a mic to belt
out "Free Bird.")
NOT JUST ANY OLD EFFECTS
Thanks to our massive digital R&D efforts of the past seven years, we've developed
sophisticated 32-bit digital effects that rival dedicated outboard processors. Our
EMAC effects sound clean and realistic especially compared to the crude, jangling
16-bit effects on most of the other "effects" mixers on the market.
TOUGH ENOUGH FOR LIVE
Like all Mackie mixers, the CFX.mkII Series is 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 60mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals
for keeping out contaminants. Onyx mixer-style knobs are mounted so they "ride" just
above the steel chassis and absorb impacts without transferring damage to the internal
components. And like all Mackie mixers, the CFX.mkII feature co-molded potentiometers
that don't get brittle and scratchy sounding with age.
