Akai, a recognized leader in the design and manufacture of innovative
audio products, introduced a new line of powered mixers at the January
NAMM show.
The Akai AMX6 and AMX10 set a new standard in powered mixer technology
offering a revolutionary design and a wide range of features -- at an
unprecedented price point.
Both powered mixers feature Class D amplifier technology, combining high
power handling in a lightweight, compact format. Ideal for portable sound
reinforcement, public address systems and nightclub and church installations,
the new powered mixers combine high quality amplification, signal processing
and mixing capabilities into an easy to carry unit weighing less than
17 pounds.
Regardless of the application -- from coffeehouses to home recording
studios, the Akai AMX6 and AMX10 can be set up in minutes and provide
excellent audio quality. With output power at 200 watts X 2 into 4 ohms,
they also deliver the power to fill nearly any size venue with clean,
full-bandwidth sound.
The AMX6 is a dual mono powered mixer featuring six electronically balanced
Mic/Line inputs, with 3-band channel EQ. The dual amplifiers can be configured
for three separate modes of operation (Main + Main, Main + Monitor, Bridged)
and each amplifier channel is equipped with a 7-band graphic EQ.
The AMX10 is a stereo powered mixer with six electronically balanced
Mic/Line inputs and four balanced/unbalanced Line inputs. A user-selectable
amplifier mode switch allows Stereo, Main + Monitor, or Bridged output
and a 7-band graphic equalizer is available for each amplifier channel.
Both units are housed in high-impact molded flight cases with integral
locking covers and side handles for lightweight, durable transportation.
Back connection panels are recessed. Graphic display includes AC Power
LED indicator, 5-point signal level LED indicator and Phantom Power LED
indicator.
The Akai Powered Mixers will be available in January, 1999. The AMX6
carries a suggested retail price of $759.00 and the AMX10's suggested
retail price is $906.00 For more information, visit Akai at www.akai.com. |
