The digital signal processor has a 4-band parametric EQ, a high-pass filter, a noise gate, and compression controls, in other words, everything you'll need for your studio. The D元2R features a USB 2.0 interface that can be used to record directly to a USB drive or to send your signal to a Mac or PC for editing. The 'cutting edge' portion comes in because, while the connections are analog, the mixer itself is digital, allowing you to manage your signal wirelessly from anywhere using an iPad.
If you've ever looked for studio recording gear, you'll know that the pricing shown above is fairly affordable for a 32-channel mixing board. You might be thinking that this mixer is out of your price range. Their objective is to create professional mixers that are both adaptable and cheap, while still being on the bleeding edge of technology in the industry—and the D元2R does just that. Since the company's founding thirty years ago, Mackie has been a leader in the audio mixing market.
