More details from RCF (www.rcf.it):
The models are distinguished by an uncompromising audio quality, by the presence of compressors in seven of the models and internal multi-effects in five of the models, all in a compact layout with an accurate Italian design.
Considerable research has been devoted to the design of warm-sounding and transparent mic preamps. The compressors installed on the microphone channels of the RCF L-PAD mixer are highly intuitive, with a single knob that controls the threshold and compression ratio at the same time. The compressors also have a very soft but effective action – the result of an accurate study of the parameters. The three-band EQ (with selectable frequency on L-PAD 16CX USB and L-PAD 24CX USB) on mono channels and the two bands on the stereo channels have a very effectiv e intervention thanks to the right choice of frequency of intervention and allow the user to process the input signal professionally
L-PAD8C – 8CX and 10C can rely on super-tested modular and 45mm faders while on models 12C, 12CX, 16CX USB and 24CX USB 60mm faders are present. A sophisticated DSP takes care of the management of the internal effects; 16 presets are available in the compact L-PAD6X while L-PAD8CX, 12CX, 16CX USB and 24CX USB have a choice of 99 different presets.
