RCF Introduces M18 Tablet-Controlled Digital Mixer

Designed as a practical fader-free portable self- contained enclosure the M18 features an on-board WiFi access-point with integrated internal antenna, enabling all the functions to be controlled wirelessly.

Entering the digital mixers world was a natural step in expanding RCF’s complete solution to the professional audio market. Taking advantage of the new available technologies that allow the ability to incorporate in a small machine incredibly advanced tools, that few years ago where only available for high level touring consoles. Thanks to the RCF M Series machines the musicians and sound engineers have now a complete range of on-board plug-ins and professional effects to completely manage the act.

The new tablet mixer also sports a full suite of plug-in algorithms and effects, including several equalizer types and classic emulations of guitar and bass amplifiers, as developed by the well-known plug-in developer Overloud.

This product is a tool for musicians and small combos and sound engineers in particular, and guitarists and bass players will favor it as two lines can be put into high-impedance mode, and a full range of appropriate effects are available.

The RCF Digital Audio Division design team has developed all M’s PCB boards and circuits, DSP codes, EQ and reverb algorithms.

The 4-band EQs on each channel feature three different modes: Standard, Vintage and Smooth, allowing a wide range of EQ sounds and tweaking capabilities. Up to 15 simultaneous insert effects can be inserted on the inputs, providing a flexible sound sculpting environment, without the need to bring along additional equipment.

The M18’s real engine is the back panel, which is populated with eight Mic inputs (with six XLR’s and two combos), 10 Line inputs, six Aux Out, Headphones Out and two XLR for Main Out. In addition to the six Aux busses for stage monitoring or any other external effects, three separate aux busses are available to feed the internal effects.

A footswitch socket for internal FX mute or program change, as well as MIDI In/Out, complement the control options.

A USB host port enables the use of external mass storage, such as hard drives and USB sticks, for the internal two-track player and recorder, while an Ethernet port is provided for computer connection when required.
