STEREO MAIN AND 6 AUX OUTPUTS
The six XLR and two Combo connectors that are present on the M 18’s rear panel provide 8 mic preamp inputs, which are designed to lay the foundations for a transparent, warm and dynamic sound.
Line inputs have been developed with the same focus. The 10 TS jacks from 9 to 18 provide the line inputs of the M 18. Two of them, 9 and 10, are switchable to Hi-Z – High Impedance input (1MΩ) – and allow direct connection of passive or low-level instruments directly, without the need for an adapter. This is the ideal solution for acoustic or electric or bass guitars with passive pickups.
The remote-controlled Mic Gain allows the user to control the Mic Preamps and Line input Gain even at high distance from the M 18 box. All the settings are stored in the snapshot memories and can be recalled according to the user’s needs.
Six +22 dB balanced AUX Outputs are on hand to connect stage monitors or external effect processors, in case the M 18’s internal processing is not sufficient for the user’s needs.
The +22 dB balanced MAIN MIX outputs are supported by a pair of male XLR.

CHANNEL STRIPS
Channels that feature a high-end MIC preamp are equipped with a gain digital remote control. A gate, a dynamic compressor and a four-band parametric equalizer are present on all input channels.
In the M 18 model each of them has three auxiliary sends dedicated to feeding the three internal effects processors and six AUX sends for stage monitors or external effects.
All the input channels feature a four band parametric EQ, offering three intervention methods enabling different sound timbres.

The M 18 digital mixer can provide up to 19 simultaneous effects. Three of them are defined as “SEND EFFECTS” and are fed by dedicated FX SENDS.
FX1 is a particularly deep and transparent reverb, providing a realistic simulation of large ambients, such as halls, or rooms and plates.
FX2 is a professional delay with a tap time up to 2500 ms and dedicated filters on the feedback signal, thus creating interesting sounds and complex tapping effects.
FX3 is an assignable multi-effect with several choices: chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, among the others.

Two realistic Amp modeling channels
Designed for musicians. Two line inputs can be switched to a Hi-Z mode and host several realistic amp modeling simulators.
Guitar and bass players can count on as many as 11 simulators specifically created for them: Darkface ‘65 (US), JazzC (JP), Rock ‘64 (UK), Rock 800 (UK) Crunch, Rock 900 (UK) Lead, Top30 (UK), Modern (US), BassMate (US), BassAmp (DE), Markbass Little Mark III (IT), Markbass TTE 500 (IT). Combine each amp with many different cabinets and explore various sound possibilities, emulating three types of microphone and three distinct positions: Near on axis, Near off axis, and Far from cabinet (1 m).
The wide range of integrated sound options will allow every musician to re-create his own personal familiar sound without the need to transport heavy and bulky amplifiers and cabinets.
Model of a notable 2×12” American guitar amp, perfect for both clean or distorted sounds. It faithfully reproduces all the nuances and is referable to the original amplifier when associated with its own cabinet
