Description
The NewHank Drivemate FX is a compact 12-channel analogue mixer designed for professional AV, live sound, studio and fixed installation use. Built into a 19" rack-mountable 3U chassis, it is ideal for systems where a reliable mixer needs to be installed neatly into an equipment rack, mobile audio rack or control position.
With 8 mono mic/line channels and 2 stereo line channels, the Drivemate FX provides a practical input layout for microphones, instruments, playback devices, media players, keyboards and other line-level sources. Each channel is laid out clearly for straightforward operation, making it suitable for users who need hands-on control without the complexity of a digital mixing console.
The onboard 24-bit digital effects processor includes 16 selectable FX presets, covering useful options such as reverb, delay, chorus, flanger and combined effects. Dedicated FX routing allows channels to be sent to the effects section as required, while the footswitch mute input is useful for live performance or presentation environments where effects may need to be switched off quickly.
The mixer also includes an AUX send for monitor mixes or external effects, a stereo AUX return, balanced XLR main outputs, headphone monitoring with independent level control and switchable +48V phantom power for condenser microphones. LED metering provides visual feedback of signal level, helping support reliable setup and day-to-day operation.
The NewHank Drivemate FX is a strong choice for schools, venues, houses of worship, rehearsal rooms, AV installations, small live sound systems and rack-based audio setups. Its combination of rackmount format, multiple microphone inputs, stereo line inputs and built-in effects makes it a practical mixer for a wide range of professional audio applications.
