[NAMM] Line 6 StageScape M20d

Featuring a touchscreen visual mixing environment, StageScape M20d features multi-channel recording and remote control capabilities via one or more iPad devices.

A visual mixing system replaces the traditional mixer channel strip with touchscreen control. In Perform Mode, a graphic display of the stage setup uses icons to represent each performer or input. Colour-coded encoders provide access to level control. A touch on a performer’s icon is designed to give access to all parameters relating to that channel, “from basic tweaks through deep effects editing, ” according to Line 6.

The audio signal chain can be controlled via an X-Y tweak pad. You can drag a finger toward common sound descriptors like “bright” or “dark” and multiple parameters are designed to adjust simultaneously. Deep Edit mode is designed to give experienced operators access to effect parameters via a familiar plug-in style interface.

StageScape M20d features an auto-sensing mic and line inputs and outputs that can detect when a connection is made and automatically configure the channel gain, EQ, effects and routing.
