Get more out of your mixer with Super Channel
Super Channel is a completely unique concept that takes this mixer to the next level. Super Channel easily handles four stereo sources at once and can integrate your consumer devices into the mix. It has inputs for RCA, 1/8″ stereo, and Bluetooth 5.0. This lets you play stereo audio from the onboard SD recorder or from a USB-connected Mac or Windows PC. And between acts at the venue, you can stream music wirelessly with Bluetooth 5.0 technology. With you at the controls, there’s really nothing that Super Channel can’t do.
