Korg NTS-4 Performance Mixer Hands-On Review
Host Nick Batt – in his latest Sonic Lab review – takes an in-depth look at the new Korg NTS-4 Performance Mixer.
The Korg NTS-4 Mixer features two mono inputs, four stereo inputs, stereo send and return, cue monitoring, USB return level, headphone output and a two-channel USB audio interface running at 24-bit/48kHz.
There are two FX engines, one on the send which includes delays, reverbs, chorus and a range of master effects, including filters, phaser, decimator, drive, distortion, compression and limiting.
The NTS-4 does not support Korg’s ‘Logue SDK, so its effects can’t customized by the user.
