The MX-206 is designed to be used by itself or as a supplement to larger mixing consoles, the MX-206 provides superior audio performance in a single rack-space package. Equally at home in either fixed or portable installations, the MX-206 may be used anywhere where additional microphone inputs are needed. Typical applications include live sound reinforcement, broadcast, recording, and film/video production.

The MX-206 is a rack-mountable six input channel stereo microphone mixer offering up to 84dB of gain for distant mic placements or extremely low-level signals. Ultra low-noise, studio-grade discrete mic preamps are utilized. Each channel has a switchable 20dB pad, a 3-position mic gain switch input level and pan controls, and clip LED indicators, 48V phantom power may be switched in for use with condenser mics. A separate Stereo Line In volume control adjusts line level sources, such as a CD or MP3 player, connected to rear-panel RCA inputs or portable audio source connected to the 3.5mm jack located on the front panel. Since plenty of headroom has been designed into the MX-206, even the loudest signals can be handled without distortion.
