The MX-1400 and MX-1400 DSP offer extreme ease of connectivity. Each includes two phono, four line and four aux inputs on the recessed back panel, enough to accommodate any DJ's complete setup of playback units - including turntables, CD players and even tape decks. In addition, three Mic inputs give the operator the ability to mix karaoke performances, rapping, emceeing and announcements. A front-panel RCA auxiliary input jack is designed to accept portable MP3 players and satellite radio receivers, so you can mix using virtually any audio source.
The MX-1400 DSP offers the added power of onboard digital signal processing. It includes eight onboard effects - echo, reverb, flanger, auto filter, manual filter, transform, pitch shifter and auto pan. Users can access and manipulate these professional-quality effects and assign them to any channel or Mic input. Time and depth parameter adjustments give the power to dial up the exact amount and duration of each effect used in the mix. Effects can also be overlaid on top of the music to produce a variety of creative sounds on the fly.
"This mixer is truly the flagship of the American Audio line," said Tom Freret, national sales manger for American Audio. "We have listened as professional club DJs, mobile DJs and remixers have told us what is missing from their mixers. We have put everything they need into the MX-1400 and MX-1400 DSP. Among the many useful features we have included are XLR booth outputs, Auto BPM Counter, Beat Synced Effects, Matrix Input and super long life faders. I sincerely feel that this mixer offers an amazing value for the dollar."
