A versatile complement of inputs and outputs enables the L2404FX-USB to accept signals from virtually any analog source. The mono channels feature XLR microphone inputs, balanced ¼-inch line inputs, and insert points. Stereo channels 9/10 and 11/12 include balanced XLR mic and ¼-inch line inputs, while channels 13/14 and 15/16 offer ¼-inch line inputs and unbalanced RCA inputs for connection to a media player or external recording device. The main L/R outputs are on XLR connectors. You also get eight ¼-inch direct outputs.

Each channel includes an input-gain trim, a dedicated 60 mm fader, pan/balance, mute, and solo, with globally switchable AFL/PFL solo. Signal processing is generous, including a single-knob compressor with LED indicator, a high-pass filter (set at 75 Hz), and 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange on every mono channel. Each stereo channel is equipped with a 4-band, fixed-frequency EQ with variable level, and two of the stereo channels include a high-pass filter. You also get a studio-grade, 24-bit stereo digital effects processor on the main L/R mix, with Parameter Edit, Tap Tempo, and optional footswitch control.

Routing and recording are also strengths. The L2404FX-USB provides four subgroup buses with dedicated faders, two post-fader aux buses, two aux buses that are switchable pre/post fader, and four aux returns. Control room outputs let you easily integrate the L2404FX-USB into your studio, and a USB port enables recording the main L/R mix to a computer. You’ll have no problem monitoring your levels, thanks to a pair of 15-segment LED ladders for the main L/R mix and Clip and Mute LEDs on each channel.

Whether tracking a drum set, playing local clubs, rehearsing, or mixing your latest masterpiece, the L2404FX-USB mixer has the flexibility and audio tools to handle the job with aplomb.
