Introduction The CFX™ Series mixers are comprised of three com-pact mixers, each having a stereo graphic equalizer and digital effects built in. The EMAC™ 32-bit digital effects processor was custom designed by our digital engineers and rivals the sound of many high-quality outboard processors. Like all of Mackie Designs’ mixers, the CFX Series mix-ers are designed for rugged, day-in and day-out road use. Their sturdy-yet-light steel monocoque construction houses rugged, double-sided SMT-plated fi berglass cir-cuit boards, and 60 mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals for keeping out dust and other contaminants. Impact-resistant knobs are mounted so they “ride” just above the steel chassis––they absorb impact without trouble. Furthermore, they’re designed to last, thanks to co-mold-ed potentiometers that do not get brittle and crack up. Metal stand-offs are used at regular intervals to mount thick fi berglass circuit boards inside the mixer. These are extremely fl exible mixers, not only because of their multi-ple input/output confi gurations, but also because of their 4 subgroups, 9-band graphic EQ, and built-in digital effects. The CFX•12 has eight mic/line channels and two stereo line input channels, the CFX•16 has 12 mic/line channels and two stereo line input channels, and the CFX•20 has 16 mic/line channels and two stereo line input chan-nels. All mic/line channels have unbalanced inserts. Each channel strip has one external and one internal/external effects send plus two aux sends, pan, mute, solo (PFL), bus assigns, and 60 mm log-taper fader. The mic/line channels also have input trim controls with individual Zero Level LEDs, 3-band EQ with swept midrange, and 100 Hz low cut fi lters. Two separate stage monitor mixes can be created with their own effects levels. The CFX Series is a true 4-bus mixer, with four sub bus faders and master ganged Left/Right fader. Outputs include XLR and TRS balanced/unbalanced main outputs, a 75 Hz low-pass subwoofer XLR output, extra TRS (continued on page 3)

Utility outputs that are independent of the master gain control, and tape and sub bus outputs. The EMAC Digital Effects section includes four con-trols at the top. EFX 2 regulates the signal level being sent to the EMAC effects processor from an individual channels strip’s EFX 2 aux send. The overall level is monitored by the CLIP LED to prevent overload. TO MAIN MIX controls the amount of effects sent to your main mix. The two EFFECTS TO MONITOR knobs let you

(continued from page 1)

add effects to stage monitor mixes independently of the EFX levels added to the main mix. Below the level controls is the preset selector for picking which effect you want. The characteristics of these presets can be changed with the TIME/RATE and DAMPING/DEPTH knobs. Between these controls are a BYPASS SWITCH and an EFX WIDE control. Wide adds psychoacoustic “width” or “depth” to all effects except delay and phaser. The Stereo Graphic Equalizer is nine bands with +15 dB of gain and centers at 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, and 16 kHz. This EQ is exceptionally low-noise, low-distortion, and free of phase distortion. Trim Controls have 50 dB of mic gain, +30 dB of line-level gain, and a full 15 dB of attenuation to “pad” hot signals. Each channel also includes a Zero Level Set LED for easy level setting. All mic channels have a 100 Hz low cut fi lter to reduce stage vibra-tion, mic stand rumble, and wind noise. Each channel includes a Pre-Fader Solo switch. Channel EQs are as follows: 12 kHz shelving HIGH frequency EQ, sweepable peaking Midrange EQ (only on mono input channels), with a 100 Hz to 8 kHz bandwidth. Stereo channels employ a 2-stage fi xed-frequency MID EQ, HI-MID is centered at 3 kHz; LOW-MID is centered at 400 Hz; and a LOW EQ that is shelved at 80 Hz. Log-taper 60 mm faders deliver a consistent fade throughout the fader’s throw. These faders have a co-polymer membrane that provides a continuously sealed barrier against dust and liquids without inter-fering with fader travel. Similarly, the fader’s long-wearing contact material (fi rst designed for use in exterior automotive sensors) means longer fader life and improved resistance to the elements. The CFX Series mixers are designed for continuous, hassle-free use in any sound reinforcement instal-lation. And they’re packed with useful features and practical routing capabilities. Simply stated, these mixers offer more features, more peace of mind, and more possibilities than any other mixers in their class. And they're Mackies.
