M2 Models and Options

M2 Models and Options

modelsThere are 3 basic M2 models.

Each model has identical monitoring facilities, but a different number of inputs and record inserts. As the number of inputs and inserts grow, some extra features become available and the size of the control panels also increases.

Between these 3 models, we can accommodate the vast majority of your mastering needs.

The three models are:
  • M2-8XP (M2 with a 8x8 digital crosspoint)
  • M2-16XP (M2 with a 16x16 digital crosspoint)
  • M2-24XP (M2 with a 24x24 digital crosspoint)
