LivePad is a new series of compact and flexible mixing consoles from the Italian manufacturer RCF.
Since 1949, the Italian company RCF has been producing speakers for the most renowned worldwide speaker manufacturers. For over 30 years, they have been manufacturing their own professional speakers, which have become a standard in a wide range of professional applications, from solo performances to massive rock concerts. The RCF brand is also represented in thousands of fixed installations around the world, such as stadiums, train stations, airports, office buildings, amusement parks, etc., where RCF amplifiers, signal processors, and distributors are often used.
By leveraging all their experience and aiming to make their offering even more comprehensive, RCF has introduced the new series of LivePad mixing consoles.
The L-PAD range includes 9 models: L-PAD 6, 6X, 8C, 8CX, 10C, 12C, 12CX, 16CX-USB, and 24CX-USB, where the number indicates the number of channels. All models are characterized by uncompromising sound quality, with the "X" models featuring an effects module, and the "C" models including a compressor on each microphone channel with very responsive threshold and compression ratio control in a single knob. All mono channels feature a 3-band EQ, and all stereo channels feature a 2-band EQ. The 16CX and 24CX models are additionally equipped with a USB port on the rear panel for easy connection to any computer. Any operating system recognizes the L-PAD mixing console as an audio device and can be used for audio recording and playback.
In line with their sound culture philosophy, RCF has paid extraordinary attention to designing all electronic circuits to achieve clean and musically pleasing sound, high-quality and precise dynamic response, combined with exceptional flexibility of use. Models 8C, 8CX, and 10C have 45mm faders, while models 12C, 12CX, 16CX-USB, and 24CX-USB have 60mm faders. The advanced internal DSP includes 16 preset effects for the 6CX model and 99 presets for the 8CX, 12CX, 16CX, and 24CX models. During the development of LivePad mixers, great care was also taken to ensure optimal compatibility with RCF's range of active speakers, such as ART, 4Pro, NX, or D-Line. The consoles undergo multiple tests during production to ensure all functions and sound quality, including output listening tests and visual inspections.
LivePad consoles are suitable for any application and allow for expansion for playing and recording MP3 music files, which can then be stored on a USB device with a capacity of up to 32 GB. The Bluetooth adapter allows for wireless connection of additional devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers, to play music directly into the console without the need for additional wiring.
