Model: CFX20.mkII
20-Channel Live Sound Mixer w/ Effects
Designed to
take the hassle out of mixing live performances, Mackie's CFX.mkII
Series compact live sound mixers feature genuine Mackie mic
preamps, four subgroups, precise nine-band stereo graphic
equalizers for greater sonic control, and onboard EMAC™
32-bit digital effects—eliminating the need for outboard
effects processors and cables. Combined with Mackie Active
loudspeakers, the CFX.mkII mixers are part of a complete,
easy-to-use Mackie sound system.
What's new in CFX.mkII? New impact-resisting rubber side panels for
better durability. New ergonomic updates including sturdier, more
precise Onyx Series knobs. And new graphics, for better visibility
in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. Best of all, the new
CFX.mkII mixers come at a suggested retail price significantly
lower than the original CFX Series.

THE FEATURES YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB
DONE
All CFX.mkII mic/line channels feature genuine Mackie mic preamps,
renowned for their high-headroom, low-noise operation. Additional
channel features include unbalanced inserts and input Trim controls
with individual Zero Level LEDs,
3-band EQ with swept midrange, and 100Hz low cut filters for
eliminating mic rumble. Each channel strip has a 60mm log-taper
fader, one external, and one internal/external effects send; plus
two Aux sends, pan, mute, solo (PFL), and bus assigns. The mixers
also offer phase-accurate 9-band stereo graphic EQ for easy tonal
shaping (and feedback supression). All three models allow two
separate stage monitor mixes to be created with their own effects
levels. See how its done here.
Sweet touches abound on the CFX.mkII Series — like a simple,
yet utterly handy Break Switch, that lets you mute all the
channels, and instantly play any souce you've plugged into the Tape
inputs. (Perfect for those moments when you have to take care of
business offstage, and don't want some overzealous fan grabbing a
mic to belt out "Free Bird.")
NOT
JUST ANY OLD EFFECTS
Thanks to our massive digital R&D efforts of the past seven
years, we've developed sophisticated 32-bit digital effects that
rival dedicated outboard processors. Our EMAC effects sound clean
and realistic — especially compared to the crude, jangling
16-bit effects on most of the other "effects" mixers on the
market.
TOUGH
ENOUGH FOR LIVE
Like all Mackie mixers, the CFX.mkII Series is designed for rugged,
day-in and day-out road use. Their sturdy-yet-light steel monocoque
construction houses rugged, double-sided SMT-plated fiberglass
circuit boards, and 60mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals for
keeping out contaminants. Onyx mixer-style knobs are mounted so
they "ride" just above the steel chassis and absorb impacts without
transferring damage to the internal components. And like all Mackie
mixers, the CFX.mkII feature co-molded potentiometers that don't
get brittle and scratchy sounding with age.
