Ashly MX-206 Rackmount 6-Channel Stereo Microphone Mixer

6 Input Stereo Microphone Mixer

Designed to be used by itself or as a supplement to larger mixing consoles, the MX-206 from Ashly provides superior audio performance in a single rack-space package. Equally at home in either fixed or portable installations, the MX-206 may be used anywhere where additional microphone inputs are needed. Typical applications include live sound reinforcement, broadcast, recording, and film/video production.

The Ashly MX-206 is a rack-mountable six input channel stereo microphone mixer offering up to 84 dB of gain for distant mic placements or extremely low-level signals. Ultra low-noise, studio-grade integrated mic preamps are utilized. Each channel has a switchable 20 dB pad, a three-position sensitivity switch to handle microphones with different input sensitivities, and 48 V phantom power may be switched in for use by condenser mics. Every input has its own peak LED indicator. A separate Aux In volume control adjusts line level sources, such as a CD player or tape deck connected to rear-panel RCA inputs. Since plenty of headroom has been designed into the MX-206, even the loudest signals can be handled without distortion.

Output is monitored via two 5-segment, multi-colored LED meters, along with separate Peak Clip Indicators. The transformer-isolated XLR balanced mono output is capable of driving +24dBu into 600 ohms, and a separate TRS 1/4" output may be used either balanced or unbalanced. An Aux output appears on RCA jacks.

The MX-206 provides superior audio performance in a rugged and durable package. Backed by Ashly's exclusive Five Year Worry-Free Warranty, the MX-206 is designed to provide many years of trouble-free operation.
