The M-100FX is a 10-channel Audio
mixer with a number of useful Voice & Sound Processing effects. The
M-100FX features a direct USB connection to computer, a variety of
input types, including XLR/TRS, 1/4'”, & RCA inputs. The many
inputs allow the editor to record from most any source straight into the
computer without the added noise common with most internal sound cards.
The M-100FX also has phantom power for use with high-end condenser microphones
more suited to narration. Although the M-100FX is clearly targeting the
video market, the particular tool set will fit most any small computer-based
audio studio.

Details
The M-100FX offers 2 independently controlled
inputs and 4 stereo pairs of inputs that have a wide variety of connection
options, including Neutrik XLR/TRS connections with phantom power, _” &
RCA inputs. Channels 1 & 2 and each subsequent pair of channels has
its own Pan control, Volume slider, Hi & Low EQ and an Aux send. In
addition to the 10 channels, the M-100FX also offers separate Monitor,
Master, & Headphone outputs. There is a separate volume control for
audio returning to the -100FX through USB.
The effects section of the M-100FX offers
very intuitive control using only a few different controls. These include
an effect selector, two parameter controls, a wet/dry control, a reverb
type selector, and a reverb time control. This allows the M-100FX to be
both easy to use and powerful by offering only the basic controls needed
to get good sound and not drowning the video editor in excessive audio
parameter.
The most impressive feature of this 10-channel
mixer is the ability to send the Master out straight to the computer through
USB without going through another interface. This allows for a cleaner
signal and helps to conserve desktop real estate. Because the M-100FX performs
the A/D conversion away from the other components of the computer, the
audio signal will not suffer from as much electrical interference before
it becomes a digital signal. The M-100FX also allows the user to monitor
audio already captured to the computer. This is helpful for assembling
voice-overs and other important audio work for video editors.
