The third Urei
mixer in the 1601 series from Soundcraft, the 1601E, boasts all the
same pro features as the
1601 but also includes a comprehensive built-in digital effects section
with serious sonic capabilities.
With a powerful bpm analysis engine the 1601E automatically synchronizes
the effects to the source music so
it is simply a case of choosing your effect and flicking a fader
to get professional results. There are manual
parameter controls as well for more complicated effect adjustment
and of course the Urei/ Soundcraft professional
sound quality is second to none!
