Helix Board 12 mkII & Cubase 5 description:

The Phonic Helix Board 12 mkII & Cubase 5 bundle includes the 12-Channel Firewire Mixer with Cubase LE plus Steinberg Cubase 5 (Full Version) Upgrade from LE and a Steinberg Key.

The Phonic HELIX BOARD 12 Firewire interface. 12-input small-format analog mixer with extremely low noise circuitry, DFX and Firewire Interface.

The Phonic HELIX BOARD 12 Firewire is one of Phonic's newest mixers that sounds great and works hard both in and out of the studio. It features a 96 KHz FireWire interface that lets you individually stream up to 10 independent channels of audio to the computer and return two channels to the mixer for monitoring - all with near-zero latency.

Onboard the Phonic HELIX BOARD 12 Firewire a 24-bit digital multi-effect processor provides 16 popular programs plus one main parameter control, tap control and a foot switch jack. Four extremely low noise Mic/Line preamps, each with 75 Hz low cut filters, inserts and phantom power, and two stereo Line channels offer a variety of input options. Each channel has a 3-band EQ and an option to send the signal to the ALT 3-4 stereo bus, where several inputs can be grouped and controlled together. And tracking individual inputs is easy with the stereo Aux cue.

Mini stereo and stereo RCA inputs and outputs make the addition of digital and analog playback and recording devices effortless, while trim control makes record out level matching trouble-free. Additional Phonic HELIX BOARD 12 Firewire features include two Aux sends, two stereo Aux returns, balanced stereo Main Outs, master Aux section with EFX to monitor, Control Room/Phones source matrix and Steinberg's Cubase LE workstation software.
