Mackie HMX 56
6 channel headphone mixer
Discontinued
The Mackie HMX-56 6-Channel Headphone Matrix Mixer is a solid cure for
the headphone/monitor mix blues. This convenient tabletop matrix mixer
lets each performer dial their own customized mix and then send that perfect
mix to a pair of headphones, a floor wedge or an IEM (in ear monitor)
system. And in addition to delivering monitor mixes for up to six performers - the
HMX-56 delivers the goods at output levels far beyond your run-of-the-mill
headphone amps.
Power and Clarity
Competing amplifiers simply can't provide the clarity and output power
that the Mackie HMX-56 can. Its six low-noise, high-fidelity/high power
headphone amplifiers deliver crystal-clear audio at output levels. So
you can use the HMX-56 at full-on rock band rehearsals. And this unit
is built like a tank for years of touring and abuse.
Versatility
The HMX-56 is a cinch to use and easily connects to your current system.
Simply:
- Connect the main output from the main mixer to the main input on the
HMX-56.
- Connect up to four additional sources from either the main mixer,
even the preamp-out from a guitar/bass amp, to the source inputs on
the HMX-56. (All of these inputs accept either balanced or unbalanced
line level signals)
- Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
Add some headphones, and performers can now dial in their own monitor
mixes. In addition to recording studios, the HMX-56 also makes an excellent
live, on-stage monitor mixer for wedges and in-ear applications.
New-Found Freedom for Engineers
One of the best "features" of the HMX-56 is the freedom it brings
to the engineer. Put simply, when each performer takes responsibility
for their own individual headphone mixes, the recording or live sound
engineer can do what he or she does best - get good sounds and record
and mix the band.
Effects
When everyone is satisfied with their own personal monitor mixes, plug
in an external reverb or other high-quality effects device into the effects
loop. Each performer can now add reverb or another effect to the channels
they wish.
Magnetic Labels
The HMX-56 comes with a variety of printed magnetic labels to provide
easy identification of all source inputs. Spare labels can be stored on
the refrigerator door or on the underside of the unit so they're handy
when you need them.
