M20 Models and Options

M20 Models and Options

modelsThere are 3 basic M20 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:
  • M20-16XP (M20 with 16x16 crosspoint router)
  • M20-24XP (M20 with 24x24 crosspoint router)
  • M20-32XP (M20 with 32x32 crosspoint router

This table shows you the difference between the 3 basic models:
