Phonic Helix Board 12 Plus USB 2.0 12-Channel Mixer

The Helix Board 12 Plus is part of the new generation of Phonic's popular Helix Board mixers. It features a 192 KHz USB 2.0 interface that lets you individually stream up to 8 independent channels of audio to the computer and return two channels to the mixer for monitoring - all with near-zero latency. An additional stereo stream of audio is available at sampling rates lower than 192 kHz, with users able to utilize the main mix, ALT 3/4 and AUX 1 & AUX 2 signal for recording.

Features
- USB 2.0 interface for streaming all input channels independently to computer with near-zero latency

- Sampling rate selectable up to 192 kHz in 24-bit resolution

- Pre/post setting for swapping signals sent to computer from pre-low cut, -EQ to post-EQ, post-fader

- 2 channels of monitoring available from computer via USB interface

- 100+Tap 32/40-bit high-definition digital multi-effects

- 12 inputs, balanced stereo main out plus additional ALT 3-4 stereo bus

- Steinberg Cubase LE 4 digital audio workstation software included

Pre/Post switches on each input channel allow users to adjust the outgoing USB 2.0 signal between a pre-EQ, pre-fader, pre-low cut, to a "post" signal. An onboard 32/40-bit digital multi-effect processor provides 100 popular programs, tap delay and a foot switch jack. Four extremely low noise Mic/Line preamps, each with 75 Hz low cut filters, inserts and phantom power, and two stereo Line channels offer a variety of input options.

Each channel has a 3-band EQ and an option to send the signal to the ALT 3-4 stereo bus, where several inputs can be grouped and controlled together. Tracking individual inputs is easy with the stereo AUX cue. Stereo RCA inputs and outputs make the addition of digital and analog playback and recording devices effortless. Additional features include two AUX sends, two stereo AUX returns, balanced stereo main outs, master AUX section with EFX to monitor, control room/phones source matrix and Steinberg's Cubase LE 4 digital audio workstation software.
