Multi-effects processor
Additionally, your XENYX mixing console has an effects processor with
(SMPS). Unlike conventional circuitry an SMPS provides an optimum supply current regardless of
the input voltage. And thanks to its considerably higher efficiency a
FBQ Feedback Detection System
The FBQ Feedback Detection System integrated into the graphic EQ of your 1832FX is one of this mixer’s most outstanding features.
This ingenious circuitry lets you immediately recognize and eliminate feedback frequencies. The FBQ Feedback Detection System uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders of the graphic EQ to indicate the critical frequencies.
Voice Canceller
We have added another useful feature to theXENYX 1832FX: the Voice Canceller.The Voice Canceller is a filter circuitry that filters out vocal portions from a track. Therefore, this mixing console is ideally suited for use as a karaoke machine. This feature is also an optimal solution for singers who need accompanying music for their rehearsals.
USB/Audio interface
The USB interface supplied with the unit is a perfect match for the XENYX Series and serves as a powerful recording interface to your PC or MAC®. It supports the digital transmission of signals on up to four channels with max. 48 kHz and extremely low latency.When wired to the CD/TAPE INPUT and OUTPUT connectors, the interface transfers the stereo mix from the console directly to a computer. Both the recording signal and the playback signal from the computer can be monitored at the same time. In this way, you can use several recording runs to produce complete
