KORG MW-2408 SoundLink 24-Channel Hybrid Analog/Digital Mixer

The Korg MW-2408 is a 24-channel mixer with a true hybrid design. Developed in collaboration with Greg Mackie and Peter Watts, it’s packed with premium components. The MW-2408 features HiVolt mic preamps, Velvet Sound AD/DA, and ALPS faders. Other features, such as streamlined per-channel 3-band EQs and single-knob compressors make mixing a breeze. The MW-2408 is a powerful, versatile mixer, thanks to its 8-bus configuration. Built-in feedback suppression and spectrum analyzer give boost performance convenience.

Some musicians want to hear more of their own instrument or voice in their in-ear or floor monitor, a process that is complicated to change on other mixers. SoundLink’s Musician’s Phone feature built into the Korg MW-2408 provides one-knob boost of the complete left/right mix into the musician’s individual track. Instead of having to change main mix settings or take up a bus, you have dedicated knobs for two musician’s “more me” monitor mixes.

The Korg MW-2408 24-channel mixer uses use a high-quality proprietary custom chip that delivers 24 ultra-realistic digital effects, instead of a generic digital effects processor chip. For example, all six reverb effects include an alternate “WARM” version—a touch veteran Korg users will tell you is very useful. Parameters of all effects can be tweaked, saved and recalled, and activated by an optional footswitch. Plus, you get test tone generators for use with the built-in 24-band Spectrum Analyzer.

Digital processing and effects are frustrating if they’re buried in some long, scrolling menu inside a menu. For EQ and other control features, and a row of individual L/R, AUX 1 and Aux 2 assign buttons for both Equalization and Dynamics makes mixing easier. SoundLink’s Limiter, Compressor, Noise Gate are both effective without being harsh or exaggerated. Each has tweakable, recallable parameters. Coupled with a 31-band Spectrum Analyzer, our super-practical 31-band/9-band ParaGraphic EQ solves acoustical problems other small mixers can’t handle.
