If you want classic analog handling but can’t skimp on superior digital effects and studio-grade mic preamps, the SX3242FX is your new best friend. This mixer’s 24 microphone inputs, 8 stereo inputs and 4 buses give you enough leeway to handle anything from a graduation speech to a 5-piece band to a whole church service with praise band and choir.

Classic control, state-of-the-art sound

Each of the SX3242FX’s 24 mic inputs connects to our world-famous, studio-grade XENYX mic preamps. They are legendary for their high headroom, warm natural timbre and utter lack of background noise. Plug in a large-diaphragm condenser mic and track a vocal to hear XENYX’s rich detail and spaciousness. Plug in a dynamic mic and stick it inside a bass drum to appreciate the whopping headroom.

You may experience side-FX…

Whether you need to add a dab of reverb or delay to a live vocalist’s mic or warp a hard day’s studio session into psychedelic quicksand, the SX3242FX has you covered. We gave this mixer two independent studiograde 24-bit stereo FX processors with 99 awesome presets to provide the perfect sonic garnish. “Sure they’re great for live sound, but I have a lot of cool plug-ins for recording,” we can hear some of you saying. Truth be told, you never have too many effects. And when you hear the quality of the SX3242FX’s FX, you may want to give your overworked CPU a rest.

Naturally we gave you a whole palette of creative effects like reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and pitch shifter tones, as well as mind-bending multi effects to take your sound out of this world. But you also get problem solving workhorses like compression and gating plus final effects such as Ultramizer, Ultrabass and Exciter that can put a PA or studio mix over the top. And because there are two processors, you can cue two separate effects, then apply one or both to channels 1 through 28 — compression for the vocalist, reverb for the vocalist and snare drum, for example.

• Awesomely complete I/O – everything from bus inserts to mono output

Finally, “And now for something completely similar.”

If you’ve read this product sheet and loved everything about the SX3242FX except it seemed like a bit too much mixer for your current needs, we have good news for you. It has a little brother, the SX2442! Sixteen mono channels each with superb XENYX mic preamps. And of course every other feature you’ve just read about. But in a smaller form factor and lower price.
