Sublimely Musical British EQ
The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – without them the
British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy
of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on your UFX1604 mixer is based
on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed
musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and
superb audio quality.
Mono channels on the UFX1604 bene t from our highly musical “British” 4-band EQ with
semi-parametric Low-Mid and High-Mid controls, allowing you to dial in the ideal frequency
centers on each, and boost or cut by as much as 15 dB – for incredibly-accurate tonal optimization.
All mic channels also feature individually-switchable, true +48 V phantom power, so you can use top-
of-the-line studio condenser microphones – a feature virtually unheard of on a mixer in this class!
One-Knob Compression
Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the
majority response will be virtually unanimous – dynamic compression. What is compression?
We’re glad you asked. Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level
of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a
delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs  nd challenging. Our “one-knob”
compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users.
With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments
and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for products
in this class – but standard on the XENYX UFX1604 mixer.
