Pyle Pro PMX1609 Overview

The PMX1609 16-Channel Professional Digital (DSP) Console Stereo Mixer from Pyle Pro combines ease of operation with support for multiple usage environments, and is suitable for SR setups, installed systems, and many other such applications. It provides 16 input channels and mixes the signals into stereo and group outputs.

With built-in, high-quality digital effects, the PM1609 can deliver a wide range of sound variations even when used on its own. It includes an effect send jack that can be used to connect an external effector. It also includes dual Aux send jacks and a single return jack. Phantom power supply enables easy connection to condenser microphones that run on external power.

The PM1609 provides channel-specific insert I/O jacks for input channels 1 to 8. These jacks make it possible to insert different effectors into different channels. Input channels 1 to 8, 9/10, and 11/12 are each equipped with both XLR mic input jack and a TRS phone-type line jack. Input channels 13/14 and 15/16 are each equipped with both a TRS line input jack and an RCA line input jack. This wide assortment of connectors enables connections to many different devices, from microphones to line-level devices to stereo-output synthesizers.
