The new CFX Series are the first "effects" mixers that meet Greg Mackie's stringent standards for sound quality, low noise, and high headroom.
Mackie's Digital Engineering staff contributed sophisticated EMAC 32-bit digital effects that are the equal of outboard processors. They spent a ridiculous amount of time perfecting a graphic EQ section. And they packed the CFX Series mic/line mixers with extra features.
