MORE HEADROOM, LESS NOISE
Inspired by our E Series, our new F Series Mixers feature high-quality preamplifiers with phantom power, offering superior sound and dynamics. With a separate line input, line level signals are less noisy than other consoles. F-16XR and F-12XR models feature Hi-Z input level control for musical instruments such as acoustic instruments with piezo transducers, electric bass or guitars with stomp boxes.
SHAPE YOUR SOUND
The tonal balance is adjustable via the powerful F Series equalizer. The F-16XR EQ features a semi-parametric mid-band EQ with selectable frequency.
SINGLE CONTROL COMPRESSORS
The F Series compressor is completely transparent and limits the dynamic range of any instrument and voice. Simply plug in the instrument or microphone, set your gain, and shape the sound by adjusting a single knob. Incredibly ease to use, the end result is musical, without compromising your sound.
24 BIT EFFECTS
RCF has selected 16 studio-quality effects, designed for everyday use when you need great quality FX processing without the need of an external FX unit. The F Series feature a powerful 20/27 bit PRO DSP FX effects engine packed with 24-bit effects such as Reverbs (halls, rooms, plates, spring), Delays (mono, stereo and multi-tap), Chorus, Flangers and Echo.
