The MW series USB Mixing Studios are high-level analogue mixing desks with an integrated USB interface to transfer digital audio data to and from a Windows or Mac PC. Since Steinberg's DAW software Cubase AI4 is included in the MW package you'll get the basic elements of a powerful Computer Music Production System that's easy to set up and easy to handle.

Connect the MW mixing desks with your computer using the included USB cable to transfer stereo audio data in both ways - from the mixing desk to the computer and vice versa - via the USB connection (16 bit with either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency). You don't have to install any proprietary drivers, because the MW-System uses the standard drivers of the computers OS.

The MW series comes with four models to satisfy different mixing needs.

The MW12c offers 12 audio inputs. The first four channels are equipped with XLR, phone jacks, and inserts. Right behind the gain and a switchable highpas-filter these channels feature a newly designed compressor ("1-knob analog compressor") to boost the loudness of the signal in a simple and intuitive way. A 3-band EQ, two Aux sends (Aux 1 pre/post switchable), panorama, mute- and PFL-switch and the 60mm fader complete the channel strip. Using the routing switches the channels can be routed to the recording bus and/or the stereo bus; the recording bus can function as a subgroup. The next two channels can be used as mono-channels (XLR/phone jack) or as stereo- channels (phone jack) - but without the compressor. The last two channels are line- level stereo-channels featuring a 2-band-EQ (phone jack/RCA). One stereo-aux-return and the 2-track-in (RCA or via USB) make the audio-inputs complete. On the output side there are the stereo-main-out (XLR/phone jack) and a monitor-out (phone jack), rec out (phone jack/RCA), Aux send 1 and 2, and a phones jack on board.

The MW12cx expands the concept with an integrated digital effect unit which replaces the [...]
