Overview:
Building upon the classic AM-Series mixers, the updated Phonic AM14GE Gold Edition is a 14-input, 10-channel mixer equipped with forward thinking features such as digital effects, wireless Bluetooth streaming, a stereo USB audio interface, and an integrated TF recorder. The mixer is well-suited for podcasters, web conferencing, project studios, and live sound reinforcement.
All channels feature a pan control, a fader level control, and three aux sends. Aux 1 sends on a dedicated monitor fader and Aux 2 is switchable between pre/post. Aux 3 sends via the Effect fader to the integrated digital effects and to a dedicated output. What's more, Aux 1/2 feature dedicated stereo returns. Channels 1-6 provide combo XLR-1/4" inputs, each with a -20 dB pad, a gain trim, a 3-band EQ, a single-knob compressor, and global +48V phantom power for utilizing condenser microphones, while channels 7/8 and 9/10 offer stereo mic/line inputs with a mono XLR input, stereo 1/4" inputs, a mic/line gain trim, and a 4-band EQ. Channels 11/12 and 13/14 provide stereo 1/4" inputs with a +4/-10 switch for interfacing with a variety of signals, as well as a 4-band EQ. Additionally, channels 13/14 double as the 2.4 GHz Bluetooth and TF recorder playback channel. The stereo USB audio interface can send 24-bit / 48 kHz audio to and from any Windows or Mac computer, allows for professional-quality recordings, plus a user-assignable "loopback" return signal for monitoring or music playback.
The ultra-low-noise microphone preamps ensures high-quality sound for project studios or in sound reinforcement applications. The master section offers dual 20-segment LED level meters and main L/R fader control. The mixer also makes monitoring the mix easy with its EFX to monitor control and high-volume headphone output. Additionally, the mixer includes a second stereo bus output (Group 1-2), which is available on each channel via push button. The Phonic AM14GE Gold Edition ships with a power cable.
