Mixing console RCF E16

RCF E16

E 16 provides twelve studio-quality 54 dB gain range Mic preamps with combo connectors. Two line inputs are switchable to Hi-Z input. The input section also features two stereo line inputs and a stereo return. Input channels from 1 to 6 are equipped with a single-control compressor.

The twelve mono channels are provided with 4-band EQs, including shelving high and low bands and 2 semi-parametric mid-bands (mid-high and mid-low) with frequency selection and switchable Q choice, wide or narrow. The stereo input channels are provided with a three band EQ.

Features

• 12 Mic/line IN, 2 stereo line IN
• 1 Stereo return input
• 6 single-control dynamic compressors (ch.1 - ch.6)
• 4 Band semiparametric EQ
• 3 Band EQ on stereo inputs
• 6 Aux sends per channel
• 100 mm progressive faders with dust cover
• 2 Stereo groups
• 32-Bit floating-point Z.CORE DSP effects section

All consoles feature the newly-designed 32-bit floating-point Z.CORE DSP effects engine offering 80 predefined presets – 40 reverbs, 20 delays and 20 modulation effects – with two responsive parameters that can be freely modified to suit the needs of the mix and a Tap tempo button. Also, a storage bank of 20 user presets are available with quick recalls. The last preset used is recalled when turning on the mixer. All algorithms have been developed internally by RCF’s R&D Electronic Department, with the contribution of some of the most trusted sound engineers.

HIGH-GRADE PREAMPLIFIERS

Purpose-designed high-grade preamplifiers, based on modern solutions and accurately selected components, offer high dynamics and exceptional sound clarity. Re-designed single-control dynamic compressors on mic input channels adjust the dynamic behavior of any instrument and voice. Two onboard Hi-Z inputs solve the need for the D.I. Boxes.

EQ LIKE NO OTHERS

Shaping the sound is fast and precise, thanks to the ultra-musical four-band EQ, featuring two semi-parametric EQs with a narrow/wide Q selector and two shelving EQs. Theswitchable Q brings the accuracy of parametric EQ on the small form factor of the mixer.
