Product Overview
With fully balanced analog inputs and servo-balanced outputs, the DIGITOOL-MX16A ensures integrity throughout the signal path and full compatibility when driving balanced and properly connected unbalanced inputs. Designed for loudspeaker management, matrix mixing, room combining, and other audio processing, the MX16A is ideal for installed systems. The unit also features a stereo AES/EBU input that accepts AES3-encoded stereo digital audio that supports sample rates up to 192 kHz. An elegant full-color front panel LCD with companion rotary navigation buttons and 5-segment LEDs provide quick access to the processor's functions. The MX16A is also configurable using a Windows app via USB or Ethernet. Featuring 8 Euroblock mic/line inputs and 8 line outputs with 48V phantom power available per input the MX16A is ideal for both new installs and retrofit applications.
