Specifications:

Audio Quality
With professional-grade, class-A microphone preamps, top quality converters and attention to design detail throughout the signal path, the TouchMix-30 Pro delivers pristine audio quality that rivals mixers at several times its cost.

Usability
Modern digital mixing consoles are all fully featured — sometimes to the point of being nearly incomprehensible to all but  the most experienced operator. The TouchMix design team set out from the start to create a mixer with an intuitive  workflow and straightforward navigation that is understandable for the less experienced user and fast for the professional  — all without sacrificing features or capabilities. As a result, the mixer is extremely easy to learn and operate. Many  TouchMix functions such as EQ, compressors, gates and limiters offer a choice of Advanced Mode operation with total control over all parameters or Simple Mode that presents only the most essential controls.

Presets
The TouchMix-30 Pro contains a comprehensive library of Channel Presets. These are not typical, generic, one-size-fits-all settings developed in a recording studio. Experienced, live sound engineers spent months in live venues working with musicians, all manner of instruments, popular microphones and pickups and multiple speaker systems to develop a  library of settings that are specifically designed for live sound reinforcement of music and speech. Even the most  experienced operators will find that these presets let them get a great mix together in record time.

Wizards
An Anti-Feedback Wizard helps the operator “ring out” a system using the 12 adjustable notch filters which are available  on all 16 outputs. A Room Tuning Wizard assists the operator in adjusting equalization and fine tuning a loudspeaker  system to an acoustical space. An Effects Wizard guides the user through the selection and assignment of appropriate  effects from the six onboard effects processors — each carefully built and tuned to deliver the character and quality of  sound live sound engineers depend on. Finally, the Gain Wizard continuously monitors and displays input clipping  indicators along with providing guidance on properly setting gain trim.

Real Time Analyzers (RTA)
There are two real time analyzers (RTA) on board the mixer. One RTA may be displayed along with the equalizer of any  currently selected input or output channel. A second, independent RTA may be assigned to display the audio signal of  any output, the Cue buss or the Talkback microphone input. Both analyzers may be displayed on the mixer’s screen or  on an external tablet device.

Abundant, Flexible Aux Mixes
Performers are increasingly demanding when it comes to monitor mixes. Not only do individual musicians want their own  mix, but the use of in-ear monitors (IEM) is increasing, driving a need for stereo Aux mixes. To meet this requirement, the  TouchMix-30 Pro offers 14 Aux busses. All Aux busses may be linked for stereo operation and mixes 11/12 and 13/14 include additional outputs that can drive wired in-ear monitors directly.

Multi-Track Recording
The TouchMix-30 Pro is capable of recording 32 tracks of audio directly to an external USB hard drive – no computer  required. All inputs plus a stereo mix are created in 32-bit Broadcast Wave format. Tracks can be played back and mixed down on the mixer or imported into most DAW software for over-dubs and post production. Compact and Complete Because of its unique and powerful touch screen user interface, the TouchMix-30 Pro is a complete, fully-featured digital  mixing console small enough to be carry-on luggage or rack mounted (with optional accessory kit). The multi-touch,  graphic, color touchscreen provides display of and access to mix parameters. Mixer parameters may be adjusted on the  screen or via the physical rotary encoder. Frequently used functions can be accessed or controlled using hardware  buttons.

TouchMix-30 Pro Control App
Full wireless, remote mixer control from iOS and Android tablet devices over Wi-Fi is supported. Multiple devices can be  deployed simultaneously to duplicate the mixer’s features and allow control of all functions. If desired, the operator may  limit a given device to control only specific mixes. Personal monitor mixing using iOS and Android smartphones is also  supported, with app controls limited to mix levels only and, as with the tablet app, a device may be limited to specific  mixes by the mixer operator.

Copy and Paste
A Copy And Paste function makes it easy to copy the settings of an EQ, compressor, gate, a complete channel or even a  complete mix and paste it where you want it as easily as you would in your favorite word processor.

Scenes
User scenes may be stored or recalled from either internal or USB memory and at the user’s option, scenes may include  or omit main and auxiliary mix levels.

Groups
The TouchMix-30 Pro includes eight DCA  and eight Mute groups as well as eight subgroups with Parametric EQ and compressors. Eight of the Aux busses can also function as mix-matrices with the main output and subgroups available in addition to the input channels.

DAW Interface
The TouchMix-30 Pro supports Core Audio and is capable of providing audio input and output to most DAW software running on Mac® computers.
