have created a variety of mixers fantastic in style and
that previous Phonic products have shown; with the
addition of such innovative features as FireWire and USB

ranges, amazingly low distortion levels, and incredibly
wide dynamic ranges - just showing the dominance these
small machines will have in the mixing World.
The FireWire and USB interface of the Helix Board 18
Universal allows users to stream up to 16 individual
channels to any PC or Mac, allowing for recording, editing,
tweaking and deletion of all tracks at will. Then, when all
