Frequently Asked Questions
GainFinder automatically adjusts input gain to optimal levels, preventing clipping and ensuring consistent signal strength across all channels, drastically cutting down on initial setup time.
Motorized faders allow for scene recall and automation, ensuring consistent levels and mixes across songs or set changes, a huge time-saver for live engineers.
