Korg has collaborated with the legendary mixer design team of Greg Mackie and Peter Watts to create hybrid/analog mixing consoles that make creative mixing easy. Both the 24- and 16-channel models give you instant analog control for live mixing with stunning sound quality and more musician-friendly features than the competition paired with the power of high-quality digital where it counts.
Use a SoundLink and you discover all the typical Greg Mackie features and ideas that make you think “why don’t other mixers have that?; hear your first live mix and discover why Peter Watts helped design legendary Trident consoles and then hundreds of high-end studio processors and preamps. Besides designing mixers, Greg Mackie has been mixing on them for over 40 years. Lets just say, hes picked up a few ideas over that time. Many of which are incorporated into SoundLink.
When you listen to the White Album, Rhiannas Rated R and Loud, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and literally hundreds of other familiar albums, youre listening to the legendary Trident mixing console sound. Peter Watts had an important role in Trident technology; he brings the same rich, warm preamp, EQ and dynamics quality to the products he designs today. HiVolt mic preamps give you the most headroom of any comparably-priced analog or digital mixer (16.5V internal voltage, even on stereo channels where other mixers skimp). They sound warm and musical.
Its is the only small mixer that has Mute Groups. They let you instantly call up different combinations of channels for various groups on stage, different songs, sound checks, a solo acoustic number, a drum solo or different parts of a church service (choir, praise band, pastor. You get four Group options, each easily programmable and recallable.
Some musicians want to hear more of their own instrument or voice in their in-ear or floor monitor, a process that is complicated to change on other mixers. SoundLinks Musicians Phone feature provides one-knob boost of the complete left/right mix into the musicians individual track. Instead of having to change main mix settings or take up a bus, you have dedicated knobs for two Musicians monitor mixes. A SoundLink exclusive!
Instead of a generic digital effects processor chip, SoundLink mixers use a high-quality proprietary Korg custom chip that builds on all of Korgs multi-decade expertise: twenty four ultra-realistic digital effects. For example, all six reverb effects include an alternate WARM version a touch veteran Korg users will tell you is very useful. Parameters of all effects can be tweaked, saved and recalled, and activated by an optional footswitch. Plus, you get test tone generators for use with the built-in 24-band Spectrum Analyzer thats another SoundLink exclusive in a mixer in this price range.
Digital processing and effects are frustrating if theyre buried in some long, scrolling menu inside a menu. For EQ and other control features, and a row of individual L/R, AUX 1 and Aux 2 assign buttons for both Equalization and Dynamics makes mixing easier. SoundLinks Limiter, Compressor, Noise Gate are both effective without being harsh or exaggerated. Each has tweakable, recallable parameters. Coupled with a 31-band Spectrum Analyzer, our super-practical 31-band/9-band ParaGraphic EQ solves acoustical problems other small mixers cant handle.
