Getting analog and digital technology to work together can feel like fitting circles into squares. Not anymore. Now the Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK mixer accomplishes seamless integration of analog components with digital technology like no mixer has before. Using the integrated 14-in/12-out USB interface you can add any compatible plug in as an insert on your input channels. Its that simple. As well as flawless DAW integration the Signature 12 inherits a legacy of stunning analog components which Soundcraft have been building for decades. Designing mixers isnt just Soundcrafts job. Its their craft. Make mixing great music yours. MTK stands for multitrack and rightly so. It is the perfect mixer for multitrack recording. With a high spec audio interface integrated inside the mixer and an included copy of Ableton Live Lite recording your mixes to a computer is as easy as can be. Ultra low-noise preamps The included Ghost preamps are aptly named. They are so low noise you might not even notice they are there. The result? Immaculate sound time and time again. Such high quality preamps on such a small mixer almost have to be heard to be believed – but these are ghosts you should believe in. Classic character EQ doesnt have to just be a corrective tool. Soundcraft’s Sapphyre Assymetric EQ helps to give your sound a musicality and character which other equalisers cant achieve. Give your mix the character it deserves. The Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK doesnt compromise by limiting the EQ to one or two channels either – you can add the classic British EQ to every single input. Flexible monitoring for any application Each of the three AUX buses is switchable from pre to post fader. Each input channel can be routed to the master out and the two available sub-groups. This gives you total control of your monitoring or external effects sends. Theres no need to be limited to one monitor mix. Ensembles of any size will benefit from the flexibility of the Signature 12 MTKs routing. Versatile operation The mixer also includes a wide variety of built-in Lexicon® studio-grade reverb chorus modulation and other effects and dbx® limiters on the input channels. Its onboard multi-track USB audio interface offers pristine ultra-low latency recording to your DAW of choice and also allows you to insert any VST/AU/AAX/TDM/RTAS plug-ins on any input channel effortlessly integrating studio plug-ins with live performances. The console offers XLR and switchable Hi-Z inputs that enable guitars basses and other instruments to be directly connected. Accompanying the console are free downloads of the Lexicon® MPX-L native plug-in and Ableton® Live 9 Lite.
