8 Input Channels The MG8/2FX has two mono microphone/line inputs and three stereo line inputs, two with mono microphone input capability. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB ~ -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB ~ +10dB for line input. Four Low-noise, High-precision Mic Preamps The microphone preamps provided on the two mono channels and two of the four stereo channels would be worth the price of the entire mixer if packaged separately. These are high performance head amplifiers that will bring out the best in any dynamic or condenser microphone

A Variety of Input Connectors
Balanced XLR connectors are provided on both mono inputs and two of the stereo inputs (a total of four XLR connectors), in addition to phone jack connectors. Two of the stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo input on the MG8/2FX, features both phone jack and pin jack inputs for broad connectivity. A separate stereo 2TR input with pin-jack connectors is provided for independent input of signals from CD players or similar sources.

Phantom Power
So you can take advantage of the superior sonic quality of professional-class studio condenser microphones, all four high-performance mic preamps feature switchable phantom power. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all four channels.

Insert I/O
Mono input channels feature insert I/O patch points so you can add compressors or EQ for vocals, a noise gate on a guitar channel, or other extra signal processing to individual channels as required.

3-band Channel EQ & HPF
Designed for smooth, "musical" response, the 3-band equalizers provided on all input channels are one more sonic tool you can use to create clean, professional mixes. All mono microphone input channels also feature a switchable high-pass filter that can be used to cut out unwanted low-frequency noise.
