* CueMix DSP™ near-zero monitoring system.
* Front-panel control - access your entire mix, or any 828mkII setting, directly from the front panel.
* Stand-alone operation - program your mixes at the studio and then bring the 828mkII to your gig - no computer needed. Need to tweak the mix? Do it on site using the back-lit LCD and front-panel controls.
* Multiple CueMix DSP mixes - create different monitor mixes for the main outs and headphones. Add send/return loops for outboard gear - with no latency.
* Two mic pre-amps with switchable 48-volt phantom power, front-panel trim controls and pre-amplified sends.
* Mic/guitar instrument sends - add your favorite outboard EQ, preamp, reverb or other processor to the two mic/guitar inputs, before the signal goes digital.
* 20 inputs / 22 outputs - there's no channel sharing in the 828mkII; the mic inputs, S/PDIF I/O, headphone out and main outs are all handled as separate channels.
* 8 channels of 24-bit ADAT optical input/output. Eight channels at 44.1/48kHz. Four channels at 88.2/96kHz.
* Sample-accurate digital transfers between ADAT digital tape decks and the computer via the ADAT sync port.
* Sample-accurate MIDI - connect a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software.
* Expandable - add additional 828, 828mkII or 896 FireWire interfaces for additional I/O.
