- 22 input channels with flexible routing — This intuitive mixer accommodates 18 Mic/Line sources plus 4 Mic/Stereo-Line inputs, giving you ample connections for vocalists, instruments, and playback devices. The layout is designed for fast, on-the-fly changes during gigs, rehearsals, or broadcasts, so you can adapt quickly without juggling adapters or external gear. Each channel features clean gain staging, clear level metering, and ergonomic control to keep your signal intact from the moment a performer steps up to the mic. This versatility makes it perfect for small venues, houses of worship, and event productions where space and setup time matter.
- Two high-quality editable effects for pro-grade ambience — Create depth, space, and movement with two onboard effects that you can tailor to each channel or the stereo bus. Whether you want a subtle hall reverb for a choir, a crisp plate for snare, or a nuanced delay for a guitar, these effects are designed to blend naturally with your mix. The editable parameter sets let you dial in timing, feedback, depth, and tone, so you can achieve polished, professional results without relying on external processors. The result is a more immersive sound that translates well on different speaker systems, from compact PA rigs to larger venues.
- Extensive presets for fast, repeatable setups — With 100 factory presets and 20 user presets, you can recall proven configurations for common performance scenarios or create your own preferred sounds and routing. This library speeds up rehearsal-to-show transitions and is especially valuable for freelance engineers or venues that host recurring events. Save scene-like configurations to jump between different shows, cabling arrangements, or band lineups with a single recall. The presets are designed to cover a wide range of voices, instruments, and playback sources, helping you maintain consistency across performances and reduce setup time.
- Professional USB audio interface with MIDI — The mixer functions as a 4x4 USB interface at 24-bit/96 kHz, enabling high-resolution recording and playback directly to a computer or DAW. The inclusion of MIDI support expands control options, allowing you to synchronize external devices, control software parameters, or trigger USB-connected gear from the mixer. This integration is invaluable for live-streamed performances, hybrid events, or post-production workflows where you want pristine capture of your mix with minimal latency.
- 11-band stereo graphic equalizer for precise tone shaping — The built-in 11-band EQ provides broad and surgical control over the overall tone and room acoustics. Fine-tune the main mix or individual channels to compensate for imperfect venues, reduce feedback potential, and ensure vocals and instruments sit clearly in the mix. The graphic EQ is a time-tested tool for achieving a balanced, intelligible sound on a variety of speaker configurations, from compact monitors to full-range mains. Paired with the effects and presets, it gives you a complete spectrum management toolkit in a single, portable console.

How to install Dynacord 22-channel Compact Mixing System
- Unbox and position — Remove the mixer from its packaging and place it on a stable, vibration-free surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and enough space for cables and access to controls.
- Power and safety — Connect the mixer to a suitable power source using the included power cable. Verify that the power requirements match your venue’s electrical standards and avoid daisy-chaining through unstable or overloaded outlets.
- Connect inputs — Plug microphones and line sources into the 22 input channels (18 Mic/Line, 4 Mic/Stereo-Line). Use balanced connections where possible to minimize hum and interference, and route solo or group cues as needed for monitoring.
- Route outputs and monitoring — Connect the main outputs to your loudspeakers or PA system. If you have stage monitors or control-room monitors, route them accordingly. Check that speaker impedance and amplifier power ratings match your system for clean, undistorted sound at your target listening level.
- Connect USB and MIDI gear — Attach the USB connection to your computer for recording or playback, and enable MIDI control if you’re integrating external devices or software. Install any necessary drivers if prompted, and configure your DAW’s input/output to align with the mixer’s 4x4 USB channels.
- Power up and calibrate — Power on the mixer and perform a quick signal check. Set initial input gains conservatively to avoid clipping, then gradually bring faders up while listening for clean, intelligible levels. Use the 11-band EQ to sculpt tone and adjust the onboard effects to taste. Save a preferred configuration to one of the user presets for quick recall at future events.
