The compact MX1804X offers six mono channels with many of the same professional features as the MX3242X, including INVISIBLE MIC PREAMPS, inserts, 3-band EQ with sweepable mids and switch-able low-cut filter, plus four stereo channels with 4-band EQ. Additional features include two aux paths with stereo returns, an extra 2-channel bus (Alt 3-4) and inserts for main and Alt 3 - 4 busses. The built-in effects section sports a stereo input, allowing it to be used separately. The 7-band graphic EQ in the master sections enables quick overall sound correction.
