See how Frank Zappa uses Carvin MX-1602 Professional Studio Mixer

Frank Zappa

Singer, Guitarist

As part of Zappa's endorsement by Carvin, he featured in this 1982 ad promoting the MX-1600 line, which showcased his use of the MX-1602.

Frank Zappa spared no expense in setting up his mobile recording studio for his tour. Along with the most expensive components in the industry, he has chosen 3 Carvin MX-1602 boards.

"For my tour I'm using 2 MX-1602 boards to mix my percussion and 1 MX-1602 for the keyboards. They're working out very well."

On May 15, 2019, Mat Zo shared on Instagram that he had acquired one of Zappa's MX-1602 mixers.

I picked these up today. A carvin console previously owned by frank zappa and a ross 1979 phaser and distortion pedal. Funny thing is the console wasn’t much more than the pedal. It’s not the best sounding console (it was mainly supposed to be used for live shows) but I’m sure I’ll find a use for it
