Each output includes inserts, dynamics, and either a 6-band parametric EQ or 31-band graphic EQ. Take control of your mix from anywhere in the room using the free iOS, Android, and PC apps. Manipulate all the parameters of your mix, while performers have the same freedom to dial-in their personal monitor mixes. The MR18 includes a pair of rack ears (3 RU) and a power cord.
