The Korg MW-2408 is a 24-channel hybrid mixer developed in partnership with Greg Mackie and Peter Watts.
Overview
The Korg MW-2408 features 16 mic preamps with 3-band EQ and an easy-one knob compression control on each channel as well as mute groups and a clever monitor section. The MW-2408 is equally at home in the studio or in live settings, thanks to its 8-buss configuration offering flexible routing. Additional features specifically tailored for live applications include feedback suppressor, built-in spectrum analyser and all-XLR speaker outputs. Furthermore, this hybrid mixer includes studio-quality Korg digital effects.
Designed by Peter Watts and Greg Mackie
The analogue circuitry is designed by Peter Watts of Trident mixing consoles fame, and include newly developed HiVolt mic preamps which offer warm and musical performance with an unmatched level of headroom for any small-format mixer in its class. Furthermore, Peter Watts also worked on the EQ section and dynamic section imparting a familiar sonic imprint.
Forward-thinking features also help set this mixer apart from the competition such as four mute groups which let you call up different combinations of channels or its ingenious one-knob “More Me” in the monitor mix. Despite all these clever features, the MW-2408 remains incredibly easy to use.
Korg Digital Effects
32-bit effects are provided courtesy of Korg’s studio-quality digital effects some taken directly from their powerful Kronos workstation. Effects include six reverbs with unique “warm” versions, as well as Chorus, Flanger exciter, Sub-bass booster, Multiband Compression, noise gate, paragraphic EQ and more. Another welcome feature is the spectrum analyser with test tone generators to tune the room directly from the mixer. Up to 10 effects can be used simultaneously giving you plenty of control to sculpt your mix.
A USB mixer also lets you record the stereo mix directly into your DAW.
