RCF F 12XR - 12-Channel Mixing Console with Multi-FX and Recording in Black Finish

The RCF F 12XR is a 12-channel professional mixing console designed to offer top-tier sound quality and versatility for musicians, sound engineers, and live sound enthusiasts. Part of RCF's next-generation F Series, the F 12XR builds upon the legacy of the E Series with a focus on precision, durability, and user-friendly features. This powerful mixer is equipped with a complete balanced audio path from input to output, ensuring high-quality signal transmission and minimal distortion throughout the system. Designed and engineered in Italy, the F 12XR stands out for its robust metal chassis, internal universal power supply, and advanced digital signal processing (DSP) features.

With 16 onboard professional PRO DSP effects, the F 12XR offers a wide range of creative tools, including reverb (Halls, Rooms, Plates, Spring), delays (Mono, Stereo, Multitap), chorus, flangers, and echoes. These effects are essential for live performances, studio work, and sound design, providing users with real-time control over their sound. In addition, the F 12XR features an integrated USB audio interface that enables stereo recording and playback, making it ideal for computer-based DAW applications. The ability to connect the mixer to a digital audio workstation streamlines the recording process, providing flexibility in both live and studio environments.

The mixer's input section includes 6 microphone inputs, 4 mono line inputs, and 4 stereo line inputs, providing ample connectivity options for diverse sound sources. Each mic input is equipped with +48V phantom power and a low cut filter at 80 Hz, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones. The line inputs, including a HI-Z input for instruments, offer flexibility for various audio sources, from vocals to electric guitars. The channels also feature comprehensive EQ controls, with 3-band EQ for mono channels and 2-band EQ for stereo channels, allowing precise tonal shaping for any mix.

For dynamic control, the F 12XR includes four single-control compressors on channels 1 to 4, providing effective dynamics management for both live sound and studio recordings. The compressors help smooth out variations in signal levels, ensuring a consistent and professional sound. Additionally, the F 12XR features auxiliary sends for routing audio to external effects or monitors, as well as FX and AUX outputs for further flexibility in routing the mix to other devices.

With multiple output options, including main mix, group, and control room outputs, the F 12XR is adaptable to a variety of setups. The main output level is set at 28 dBu, ensuring optimal signal strength, while the AUX outputs and Group Out provide additional flexibility for multi-zone or multi-room installations. The mixer also includes a headphone output with a 150-ohm impedance, offering convenient monitoring options for the sound engineer.

The F 12XR is designed for easy use with an intuitive interface. It features a footswitch input for hands-free control and offers 1 PRE/POST AUX send and 1 POST FX send, providing full control over the signal path. The internal effects section includes a single FX send, giving users the ability to add complex effects to their mix with ease. The mixer is also CE compliant, ensuring it meets safety standards for professional use.

In terms of connectivity, the F 12XR's USB audio interface (type B) supports playback and recording at 44.1 and 48.0 kHz sample rates, making it suitable for a variety of digital audio tasks. Whether you're recording a live performance, creating a studio mix, or integrating the console into a larger audio setup, the F 12XR is built to deliver the high-quality performance you need.
