It boasts 12 channels, 24 effects and an internal USB interface. With faders instead of knobs, the MG12XU is more visual and easier to control. Featuring the steel chassis that is impact resistant and powder coated, this mixer will take any bumps and scratches without sustaining damage. Its state of the art design allows for convection cooling, meaning your power unit will not overheat your unit after continuous use. Separating the power supply from the analog circuitry inside the mixer allows for near silent background noise, allowing for a serious and high quality output sound.
