Mackie CFX12 Mixer
Mackie are one of the biggest names in live sound, due to their tank-like build quality and superb sound. The Mackie CFX range of mixers keep up this tradition, with sterling features such as genuine high-headroom Mackie preamps, graphic EQ and clean, 32-bit effects. These mixers give you a lot for your money!
Here's what Mackie say about the CFX12
12 CHANNELS OF MACKIE MIXING WITH SUPERB BUILT-IN EFFECTS
Designed to take the hassle out of mixing live performances, Mackie's CFX.mkII Series compact live sound mixers feature genuine Mackie mic preamps, four subgroups, precise nine-band stereo graphic equalizers for greater sonic control, and onboard EMAC 32-bit digital effects—eliminating the need for outboard effects processors and cables. Combined with Mackie Active loudspeakers, the CFX.mkII mixers are part of a complete, easy-to-use Mackie sound system.
What's new in CFX.mkII? New impact-resisting rubber side panels for better durability. New ergonomic updates including sturdier, more precise Onyx Series knobs. And new graphics, for better visibility in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. Best of all, the new CFX.mkII mixers come at a suggested retail price significantly lower than the original CFX Series.
THE FEATURES YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE
All CFX.mkII mic/line channels feature genuine Mackie mic preamps, renowned for their high-headroom, low-noise operation. Additional channel features include unbalanced inserts and input Trim controls with individual Zero Level LEDs,
3-band EQ with swept midrange, and 100Hz low cut filters for eliminating mic rumble. Each channel strip has a 60mm log-taper fader, one external, and one internal/external effects send; plus two Aux sends, pan, mute, solo (PFL), and bus assigns. The mixers also offer phase-accurate 9-band stereo graphic EQ for easy tonal shaping (and feedback supression). All three models allow two separate stage monitor mixes to be created with their own effects levels.
Sweet touches abound on the CFX.mkII Series — like a simple, yet utterly handy Break Switch, that lets you mute all the channels, and instantly play any souce you've plugged into the Tape inputs. (Perfect for those moments when you have to take care of business offstage, and don't want some overzealous fan grabbing a mic to belt out "Free Bird.")
NOT JUST ANY OLD EFFECTS
Thanks to our massive digital R&D efforts of the past seven years, we've developed sophisticated 32-bit digital effects that rival dedicated outboard processors. Our EMAC effects sound clean and realistic — especially compared to the crude, jangling 16-bit effects on most of the other "effects" mixers on the market. Read more.
TOUGH ENOUGH FOR LIVE
Like all Mackie mixers, the CFX.mkII Series is designed for rugged, day-in and day-out road use. Their sturdy-yet-light steel monocoque construction houses rugged, double-sided SMT-plated fiberglass circuit boards, and 60mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals for keeping out contaminants. Onyx mixer-style knobs are mounted so they "ride" just above the steel chassis and absorb impacts without transferring damage to the internal components. And like all Mackie mixers, the CFX.mkII feature co-molded potentiometers that don't get brittle and scratchy sounding with age.
Mackie SRM450 Active PA Speaker
Here's what Mackie say about the SRM450...
We Worked Two Years To Get It Right
It doesn't matter if you're a DJ, church, or Iron Maiden tribute band, you need loudspeakers that won't crap out in the middle of a show, or distort when you turn them up past 3.
That's why we designed the SRM450, the first and only portable active 2-way loudspeaker with onboard bi-amplification, active crossovers, time-correction and renowned Mackie sound quality. Thanks to countless hours of R&D, and one very-hard-to-please Greg Mackie, the SRM450 delivers real, accurate bass down to 55Hz; midrange that's free from ear-fatiguing harshness; and detailed treble out to 20kHz. Better still, the SRM450 offers astonishingly wide dispersion that lets your whole audience hear clearly, whether they're in the front, back, or way out on the sides of the room. Above all, the SRM450s crank! Without a hint of distortion, they effortlessly achieve sound pressure levels beyond the legions of look-alike portable loudspeakers on the the market today.
Ultra-Wide Dispersion
Ever been to a show where the music sounds great in front, but craps out once you get to the back or sides of the room? We have, and that's why we gave the SRM450 a multi-cell horn throat aperture. Sure, it's hard to say, but what it does is allow for much wider and more even dispersion of high and mid frequencies, so the wallflowers get the same great listening experience as those up front.
Timing Is Everything
In most loudspeakers, the compression driver that reproduces mid and high-frequencies is located deep inside the enclosure, while the low-frequency driver is much closer to the front of the enclosure. With this setup, bass arrives at listeners' ears sooner than treble, muddying the sound. We remedied these unfortunate laws of physics with high-zoot electronics which allow precise alignment among the system components with zero signal degradation. Read more.
Better Than Your Average Box
Anyone with a factory can build a box and stick some speakers in it (and that's just what many do). But low-frequency transducers in square boxes can create resonances that reflect off the rear wall and pass through the woofer cone out of phase, and ready to mess up your sound. The SRM450 enclosure is an asymmetrical monocoque design with no parallel surfaces, causing mid and high frequency resonances to be reflected at angles into internal damping materials, instead of interfering with the woofer doing its thing. Read more.
Dual FR Series Amplifiers
Let's face it, 99 percent of the time compact PA speakers are cranked to the max. That's why the SRM450's beefy internal 400-watt amplifier section features dual FR series amps, one for each driver, both designed for extreme output. The amp section is built around a huge toroidial transformer, massive storage capacitors, and state-of-the-art output transistors, all adding up to superior sound, night after night. Read more.
Servo Feedback Controlled LF Transducer For Stunning Bass
Based on Mackie's award-winning HR824 studio monitor technology, the servo feedback damping electronic circuit within the SRM450 provides amazing results. The circuit "locks" the woofer in place with the positive and negative outputs of the amplifier in a way that no external amp and passive woofer can ever achieve. This creates a solid direct-coupling that delivers extremely deep bass from a small cabinet.
Superb Floor Monitor
When the first warranty cards came back, we noticed that a lot of folks were raving about what a great floor monitor the SRM450 made. Okay, it's super accurate. And it's designed to be tilted. But there had to be more reasons than that. Read more.
