The same power amp structure as the 808M mono mixer -- but with stereo input/output capability and several other important additional features. Twin 500W FR Series amps deliver 1,000 real watts into four ohms and are switchable as mains or main/monitors. Eight mic/line channels feature master phantom power, inserts on channels 1 through 6. Stereo input on channels 7 and 8, stereo pan control on all eight channels, true stereo nine-band graphic EQ on mains, plus a nine-band for the monitors. It includes a 32-bit custom EMAC® digital effects processor with sixteen different effects and two controllable parameters per effect, a special EFX WIDE effects-enhancement switch, a way-cool Break Switch that mutes channels 1-6 during breaks. It also features Mackie's renowned discrete mic pre-amps, the best found on any powered mixer, and an amp routing switch that lets you assign power amps to mains only, or mains and monitors. An external effects section has separate sends and returns, plus a footswitch jack to override internal and external effects. Mixer line-out jack lets you add extra power amps. Eight mic/line channels feature master phantom power, inserts on channels 1 through 6, and dual line inputs on channels 7 & 8. Each channel is provided with three-band EQ and separate nine-band graphic EQs are provided for mains and monitors.
