...about the Built-in EMAC Digital Effects

Built-in effects don't have to mean compromised sound quality. Thanks to our massive Digital 8•Bus R&D effort, we've developed sophisticated 32-bit digital effects that rival any outboard processor.

EMAC (TM) effects sound clean and realistic - especially compared to the crude, jangling 16-bit effects on most of the other "effects" mixers.

No wonder EMAC effects sound so natural. We started with proprietary reverb, delay and modulation algorithms that previously have only been available on expensive, name brand outboard studio gear. Then we added 32-bit internal processing just like on our Digital 8•Bus.

EMAC stands for Extended Multiplication and Accumulation. In non-geek terms that means no loss of internal precision during audio processing. You"ll hear the difference.
