Carvin C1644 Mixer Review

CONCERT 44 SERIES Never before have so many features been packed into such a rugged, compact, American made mixer. The best feature of the Concert 44 Series is the sound. Sound that is pure and quiet enough for your digital recording studio! Everything is logically laid out making the powerful features simple to use and the compact size makes it a breeze to carry. The knobs are not micro size, making adjustments quick and easy - and the visible pointers show you the status of your mix at a glance. The C844, C1644, C2444 and C3244 feature 8 to 32 channels with true 4-bus performance. TRUE 4-BUS DESIGN The Concert 44 Series offers increased mixing flexibility over standard stereo consoles by letting you assign channels to one of the 4 sub groups or L/R. This allows you to mix the entire drum, horn, choir section, etc. into one sub group fader, which feeds the L/R faders. This is an easy way to control the volume of grouped mics or inputs. If you don’t need subgrouping, you can depress the L/R channel button and the channel goes directly into the L/R output like a standard stereo console. All 4 sub group outputs have balanced outputs for long cable runs. TWO EFFECT SENDS / TWO 24-BIT EFFECT PROCESSORS Two built-in 24-Bit effects, each offering 256 stereo effects, is a first in a 4-bus mixing console. Since there are two, you no longer have to choose between that great vocal reverb with delay and that awesome guitar chorus - you can have both! Each processor offers lush REVERBS, rich CHORUSES, thick textured FLANGING and pristine ECHOES with fully adjustable parameters for damping, decay, depth, speed, time and regeneration. Both processors can be sent back into the monitor mix so the performers can hear exactly what the audience is hearing.
