RCF F 24XR: A Full-Size Analog Console

Analog mixers remain popular because everything is right in front of you: one knob per function, no menus to dig through. The F 24XR offers the channel count needed for a full band, a worship team, or a multi-presenter event, with 60 mm faders and a clear layout that’s easy for volunteers and experienced engineers alike.

The mic preamps provide up to 50 dB of gain with phantom power and a low-cut filter, ready for dynamic and condenser microphones. Single-knob compressors on six channels make it easy to control vocals and instruments without complicated settings.

F 24XR Effects, Aux Sends, and Recording

The built-in PRO DSP effects engine offers 16 presets, including reverbs and delays, so you can add polish to vocals and instruments without outboard gear. Four aux sends feed monitor mixes and effects, and two stereo output buses give you flexibility for zones or recording feeds. A USB port records and plays back a stereo mix, perfect for capturing performances or playing walk-in music.

Setting Up the F 24XR

Start by setting each channel’s gain so the loudest moments peak near the top of the meter without clipping. Use the low-cut on vocal and instrument mics to clean up rumble, then shape tone with EQ and add compression where needed. Assign aux sends for stage monitors, and use the effects send to add reverb to vocals. Record a stereo mix over USB to review performances and improve your mix over time.

What to Pair With the F 24XR

A mixer of this size typically sits at the center of a full sound system: a stage snake to bring microphone lines to the console, powered speakers or amplifiers and passive speakers for the main PA, and stage monitors fed from the aux sends. Add a rack of wireless microphones for vocalists and presenters, and plenty of quality XLR cables.

RCF F 24XR FAQ
