HELIX BOARD 18 Firewire Mixer description:

The Phonic HELIX BOARD 18 FireWire 18 Channel Mixer. 18-input small-format analog mixer with extremely low noise circuitry and 96 kHz FireWire interface.

The Phonic HELIX BOARD 18 FireWire is one of Phonic's newest mixers that sound great and work hard both in and out of the studio. The mixer features a FireWire interface that can individually stream up to 16 independent channels of audio to the computer and return two tracks for monitoring, all at screaming fast transfer rates of up to 24-bit/96 kHz with a near-zero latency. The Phonic HELIX BOARD 18 has an onboard 24-bit digital multi-effect processor that provides 16 popular programs plus one main parameter control, tap delay and foot switch jacks. There are 8 extremely low noise Mic preamps, each with phantom power, spread across six mono Mic/Line channels with 75 Hz low cut filters, and four stereo Line channels. Each Mic channel has a 3-band EQ (six with swept mid), and two stereo channels have a 4-band EQ. A 10-band system graphic equalizer can be assigned to Main Outs or Aux 1. Mini stereo and stereo RCA inputs and outputs make the addition of digital and analog playback and recording devices effortless, while trim control makes record out level matching trouble-free. Additional Phonic HELIX BOARD 18 features include three Aux sends, two stereo Aux returns, input and output solo, two true subgroups and a rack mounting kit.
