    Four mix output buses, four mix-minus buses, and individual fader bus minus with talkback are some of the standard features. The E-5 also has event recall, three monitor outputs, and pan, mode, and phase reverse for each channel. It supports multiple arrays of programmable input channel and master panel switches for customized functions like phone, intercom, salvos, or machine commands.
