  1. As bass players we often have to mix our own gigs from the stage, and such users are the prime market for the M20D , although it's perfectly capable of acting as a front-of-house mixer, or being put to use in installations, as long as the input channel count is sufficient.

    Line 6's aim was to produce a fully featured digital mixer where most of the clever stuff was looked after either automatically, or via source-specific presets, so that musicians with less mixing experience than a dedicated FOH engineer could still achieve good results. All the tools that professional sound engineers are used to are also here, though, and can be accessed via channel presets, simplified 'Quick Tweak' adjustments, or full-on 'Deep Tweaking'.

    Cosmetically, the M20D is rather unconventional, with its massively thick metal front panel, two rows of six variable-colour, illuminated push encoders and a seven-inch resistive colour touchscreen. There are no faders and very few physical buttons: five mode buttons occupy the space to the left of the screen, with just two to the right. Below and to the right of the screen is a large rotary control.

    12 'combi' mic/line inputs (with phantom power switchable in banks of six), four jack inputs, XLR outputs for the main stereo outputs and the four monitor feeds, and a headphone outlet with its own volume control. There's also an auxiliary stereo mini-jack input, two footswitch jacks, an XLR for the L6 Link, a USB port for a memory stick, hard drive or Wi-Fi adaptor (for controlling the mixer wirelessly from an iPad), an SD card slot, and a further mini USB port for PC connection. Power is delivered via a standard IEC socket and, being universal, the internal PSU will adapt to all common 50/60Hz mains voltages.

     

    Very clever desk for the muso and only for sale as we now hire PA's with engineers, the real attraction was the ability to record direct and also the 20 second hard drive record facility to allow mixing without everyone hanging around and getting stressed !!!!
