The VGM14 is a compact analog mixer with onboard effects that builds on the PGM8 by offering more channels, more features, and a built-in 2-channel USB audio interface. It’s an all-in-one solution for live sound, installations, and presentations that require up to fourteen input channels (ten mono, two stereo).
It offers extended connectivity with twelve XLR mic inputs, ten mono 1/4" inputs, and two stereo 1/4" inputs. Hi-Z switches on channels 9 and 10 enable the direct connection of instrument-level signals such as a guitar or bass without requiring an external DI. Each channel has a switchable high-pass filter, mute and solo buttons, clip indicator, and 60 mm fader. Mono channels feature a 3-band EQ with a sweepable midrange frequency, and stereo channels feature 4-band EQ.
The 24-bit DSP engine has sixteen stereo effects including reverb, delay, modulation, and more. Channels 1 through 10 offer built-in compression and insert points, and a 9-band graphic EQ on the main output lets you fine-tune the total mix.
The VGM14 also includes multi-segment VU metering, phantom power, RCA connections to easily integrate consumer AV equipment, footswitch support to mute the onboard effects, a convenient global mute for input channels, a dedicated zone / subwoofer output, LED lamp connector, and independent control of main, monitor, and headphone levels.
Packed with features and intuitive to operate, we like to think the VGM14 is a very good mixer.
