of digital audio devices, while a BNC-connector for
word clock input and output allows precise
synchronization with other digital equipment.
Powerful DSP Mixer (dspMixFx)
A DSP mixer that can mix up to 24 input channels to
four stereo outputs is built in. Two of those stereo
mixes can be independently assigned to separate
headphone outputs. It is also possible to directly
