- Size19"
- Weight5.7 kg
If you need to run sound to two separate areas, like a shop floor and a back room, this mixer is a good fit for you. It has eight inputs, four of them balanced mic inputs on XLR, and it puts out 2 x 240 W RMS across its two zones. It mounts in a standard 19-inch rack, so it suits a fixed setup better than gear that gets loaded in and out every night.
Pros
- Two zones with separate outputs for two 100 V loudspeaker groups
- Eight input channels, including four balanced mic inputs on XLR
- Class D amplifier rated 2 x 240 W RMS, with 24 V phantom power on mic channels 1-4
Cons
- Weighs 5.7 kg and measures 482 x 320 x 88 mm, so it is not a light unit to carry

Pros
- Four zones let you run separate sound areas from one unit
- Four balanced XLR mic inputs with 24 V phantom power for mic channels 1 to 4
- Auto-talkover on channel 1 sends announcements to all zones
