SX-1LE Digital Production Environment
* Estimated Street Price
T he SX-1LE is a full-featured
digital workstation designed for
musicians and recording profession-
als. Based on the SX-1, it provides
professional features like 24-bit re-
cording, 40-input surround mixing,
touch-sensitive moving faders, a VGA
output and 128-track MIDI sequenc-
ing for under $3,000*.
Despite its professional quality
and fl exibility, the SX-1LE retains
the ease-of-use that musicians de-
mand. The recording section is de-
channels of digital or analog I/O through
expansion cards. The SX-1LE provides a
fl exible signal routing system controlled
by a powerful user interface.
The 128-track MIDI sequencer adds
even more recording capability. With
four MIDI outputs, your arrangements
have access to 64 MIDI channels. The SX-
1
LE’s SMPTE and MIDI timecode inputs
allow synchronization with sequencers,
DAWs or video playback.
A sophisticated 40-input digital
mixing console is integrated with the
SX-1LE’s recording section
for seamless operation
and stunning audio
quality. Each of the
32 channel inputs
has powerful
processing
f e a t u r e s
like 3-band
parametric EQ and dynamics, and
can be routed to the 8 buss outputs or
stereo outs. Four stereo effects returns are
provided for the four realtime DSP plug-
ins. The SX-1LE can mix in 5.1 surround,
and even has a dedicated 6-channel stem
recorder to capture your mixes.
Each component of the SX-1LE was
carefully designed to offer world-class
operation on its own. But with its in-
tuitive design and natural user experi-
ence, the SX-1LE is much more than the
sum of its parts. Its user interface was
designed to function as a seamlessly
integrated unit. Audio professionals and
songwriters alike will feel comfortable
relying on the SX-1LE for their most im-
portant projects.
signed so that you can begin recording
music after only four button presses.
Its 16-track, 24-bit hard disk recorder
is based on our best-selling MX-2424
recorders for world-class sound qual-
ity and reliability. Virtual tracks, up
to 999, mean that you don’t need to
record over a take to try it again. The
LCD display and VGA monitor output
make it simple to see what you’ve re-
corded and, along with the included
mouse and keyboard, provide an edit-
ing interface to rival high-end digital
workstations.
The SX-1LE has a generous amount
of inputs and outputs for large record-
ing sessions. Sixteen great-sounding
XLR microphone inputs with phantom
power are within easy reach. 16 bal-
anced W" line inputs, ADAT optical
digital and much more I/O is also
available. You can add up to 24 more
