Description
The Citronic CMC-14 is a fully featured audio mixer built for live sound engineers, project studios and entertainment venue installations. It gives you mono mic/line channels alongside two stereo line inputs, a stereo Aux input and a further minijack stereo input, so you can bring together microphones, instruments and playback devices on one desk. Each mono channel has a combo XLR/jack input, a Gain control for matching the source and a low-cut switch to filter out rumble or handling noise. You also get High/Mid/Low EQ, Aux out level, FX level, Pan and a 60mm channel fader.
The onboard DSP effects engine holds 99 presets covering delay, reverb and modulation, and each preset can be shaped using two parameter controls. The effects section is foot-switchable, which is handy when you need hands-free control during a set. Phantom power runs at +48V and switches in pairs for the XLR inputs, so you can power condenser microphones where you need them. A PFL switch on each channel lets you check levels before they hit the mix, and the 3-band EQ gives ±15dB of cut and boost at 80Hz, 2.5kHz and 12kHz.
Playback and recording come from a Bluetooth v5.1 receiver with an illuminated pairing button and its own volume control, plus a top-panel USB type-A port. The USB port plays audio files, records the main outputs to a storage device, or works as an external audio device when connected to a laptop (also useful as aux power over USB). Main output runs via left and right XLR, with 6.3mm monitor and headphone outputs and an Aux send and stereo return loop. Power is from a standard IEC inlet accepting 100-240Vac.

Frequently Asked
How many channels does the CMC-14 have?
The CMC-series is available with 6, 8 or 10 mono input channels. Each model also carries two stereo line inputs, a stereo Aux input and a further minijack stereo input.
Can I connect condenser microphones?
Yes. The mixer provides +48V phantom power that switches in pairs for the XLR inputs, so you can run condenser microphones on the channels that need it.
What can the USB port do?
The USB type-A port plays back audio files, records the main outputs to a USB storage device, or acts as an external audio device (soundcard) when connected to a laptop.
Does it have built-in effects?
Yes. The DSP effects engine has 99 presets for delay, reverb and modulation, each adjustable with two parameter controls, and it can be switched on and off by foot-switch.
How does the Bluetooth work?
The onboard Bluetooth v5.1 receiver has an illuminated pairing button and independent volume control, so you can play audio wirelessly and set its level separately from the channel faders.
What outputs are provided?
Main output is served by left and right XLR, plus 6.3mm monitor and headphone outputs and an Aux send with stereo return loop.
