RCF is now shipping the M18, a digital mixer incorporating an onboard Wi-Fi access point with integrated antenna that enables all functions to be controlled wirelessly. It operates at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
All 18 input channels include gate, dynamic compressor, and 4-band parametric EQ that provides three different modes (standard, vintage and smooth).
Eight input channels also have discrete mic preamps offering 60 dB of gain range, controllable via the MixRemote app (available for iOS).
And, two (out of 10) line inputs can be switched to Hi-Z mode. Also onboard is a suite of plug-in algorithms and effects.
The back panel is populated with eight mic inputs (with six XLR and two combos), 10 line inputs, six aux outs, headphones out, and two XLR main outs. Three separate aux buses are also available to feed the internal effects.
A footswitch socket is supplied for internal FX mute or program change, as well as MIDI in/out. A USB port enables use of external storage for the internal two-track player and recorder, while an Ethernet port facilitates computer connection.
