SWAMP S12-MK2 12 CH Mixing Desk - 6 Preamps - 2 AUX - Onboard FX - USB Audio
SWAMP S12-MK2 Mixing Desk - 6 XLR Mic Preamp Inputs - USB Audio Interface
SWAMP impressed the market with original S series analog USB mixing consoles and now follow up with the S-MK2 series, featuring improved knobs and faders, robust design and 19inch rack rails included as standard.
The S-MK2 Series mixers combine excellent build quality, stunning sound performance and a remarkable price to offer unbeatable value. On-board Compressor, EQ, AUX and effects options makes the S12 perfect for performing musicians and small bands. A high quality Stereo USB output enables the S12 to be used with confidence, as a home studio audio interface.
Quality V+Z Preamps
Critical to the performance of any decent audio mixer are the in-built microphone preamps. Featuring carefully designed V+Z preamps that offer undistorted, noise-free gain with plenty of headroom, usually reserved for costly outboard preamps units.
In-Built Compressors
Each of the first four XLR mic channels (1-4) features an in-built, 1-knob compressor that has intuitive threshold, ratio, attack and release presets. Increasing the compression on a channel will lower the dynamic range of the signal and increases it perceived loudness. The loud peaks are squashed down and the quiet sections are boosted. Use the compressor simultaneously with the gain knob for best results.
19" Rack Mountable - Rack Rails Included
The entire S-MK2 mixing desk series are 19" rack mountable, with the rack rails required included with every model. The rack rails simply attach to the side of the mixer with 3 screws already present on the mixer, then it is ready to be placed into any 19 inch rack case or frame.
7-Band Equalizer - with Feedback Detection!
A 7-band EQ enables the S12 to be tweaked for particulars rooms and venues. The EQ can be placed over the "Main" outputs, or alternatively over the "Monitor" output. Equipped with a state of the art FBQ feedback detection option, that will light up the LED on each of the 7 EQ controls when excess signal in the frequency range is detected. This gives the sound technician a visual guide as to what frequency band should be dropped to reduce the chance of feedback occurring.
AUX / Monitor Sends
Equipped with a monitor (AUX) send, that allows an additional "mix" of channels to be sent from the mixing console to foldback speakers or outboard effects. Ideal for creating foldback mixes for on stage performers. The FX channel can also be used as a 2nd AUX send.
In-Built Effects
Each channel has an FX control knob that will send the signal to the in-built stereo effects processor. Includes all the classic preset "mixing effects"; reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, etc. Main volume controls for the FX send and return enable you mix the "dry" and "wet" (effected) signals together for optimal results.
3 Band EQ Strip
Standard 3-band EQ with Bass, Mid and High controls. 15dB of level control each way gives the audio engineer plenty to work with.
Voice Cancellation - Great for Karaoke
Here you have a filter circuitry that lets you almost entirely remove the vocal portion of a recording. The filter is constructed in such a way that voice frequencies are targeted without greatly affecting the rest of the signal. Additionally, the filter seizes only the middle of the stereo image, exactly where the vocals are typically located.
Possible applications for the Voice Canceler are obvious: you can very simply stage background music for Karaoke events. Of course, you can also do this at home or at your rehearsal room before you hit the stage. Singers with their own band can practice singing difficult parts using a complete playback from a iPod / CD, thus minimising band rehearsal time.
USB Audio Interface Functionality
The S-series mixing consoles feature a USB input/output with quality A/D, D/A converters for 16-bit, 48kHz recording quality. The audio sent to the computer from the mixer is identical to the stereo MAIN MIX output signal. Audio from the computer can also be routed back into the mixer signal path for playback. It should be noted that the USB circuit cannot be used to record and playback signal simultaneously.
