No longer available at zZounds
Steinberg Cubase LE digital audio workstation software is included.
The Helix Board 18 Universal is part of the new generation of USB / FireWire mixers from Phonic. The Universal mixer features a FireWire and USB 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 zero latency. Pre/post switches on each input channel ensure users can adjust the outgoing USB/FireWire signal between a pre fader and post fader signal with the utmost of ease.
An onboard 32/40-bit digital multi-effect processor provides 100 popular programs, tap-delay, test tones (pink noise, 1 kHz, etc) 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. Stereo RCA inputs and outputs make the addition of digital and analog playback and recording devices effortless.
Additional features include three AUX sends, two stereo Aux returns, input and output solo, two true subgroups and a rack mounting kit. Steinberg Cubase LE 4 digital audio workstation software included.

"It finally worked!"
For as long as it works, I'll keep it
Sound
sounds great, no noise, get vocals through a condenser mic clean
Features
Has a firewire and usb interface to stream 14 channels to DAW and returns 2 channels for monitoring. Mine came with interface dead. After several emails to support and trials I had to send it back for repair. That meant loss of time and money in shipping costs! I finally got it back and its in good shape. Managed to install the firewire drivers in seconds and Audition 3.0 recognized it immediately. I havent tried USB yet
Ease of Use
If you can use a mixer, then you can use this one.
Quality
Doenst look so robust to me. But it works and so long as u dont drop it or pour liquids on it, you shouldn't have any problem
Value
I guess its worth its price
Manufacturer Support
They responded to all my mails. So if that's anything then its good support
The Wow Factor
Its a mixer. sound is of the greatest concern
