Galaxy Audio AXS-18 Overview

The AXS-18 from Galaxy Audio is an 18-input analog audio mixer featuring premium-quality mic preamps, stereo line inputs, compressors, EQs, a 24-bit multi-effects processor, and an integrated USB audio interface.

Inputs 1-8 on the AXS-18 provide a 1/4" line input or XLR microphone preamp with phantom power (+48V), a compressor, a 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid, a gain-trim knob, and a high-pass filter. Inputs 9-12 offer either a XLR mic input with phantom power or mono/stereo 1/4" line inputs, a gain-trim knob, a high-pass filter, and a 4-band fixed frequency EQ. Inputs 13-16 feature mono/stereo 1/4" line inputs, a gain-trim knob, and a 4-band fixed frequency EQ.

All channels feature 60mm logarithmic faders, pan, mute, four Aux sends with stereo returns, switchable solo/pre-fader listen (PFL) buttons, and routing options for stereo main outputs and four sub outputs.

The multi-effects processor features 24-bit AD/DA converters and offers 16 presets producing professional-quality reverb, delay, and modulation effects. The on-board switch-mode power supply provides an optimum current supply regardless of input voltage and offers higher efficiency when compared to conventional power supplies. The AXS-18 ships with a standard IEC power cord.
