Mixpad Features

•Constant level pan controls for placing each monophonic channel in the left-right stereo spectrum, as well as balance controls that allow you to blend the relative levels of stereo inputs.

•Mic input trims that are continuously adjustable from +4 to -50 dB, making it possible to use the MIXPAD with a wide variety of microphones.

•The MIXPAD 12 and MIXPAD 9 provide 36 volts of phantom power to all mic inputs, while the MIXPAD 4 provides 18 volts of phantom power (with independent switches for each of its two mic input channels), making it possible to use most condenser and dynamic mics, as well as active DI (Direct Injection) boxes.

•Peak LEDs for the left and right main outputs, showing you when signal is overloading or near overloading.

•Center detents for all pan, balance, and EQ controls, making it

easy to access them in low-light situations such as live performance.

•Convenient front-panel Power switch, Power LED and dedicated headphone jack.

•The MIXPAD 4 runs on either AC or battery power (requiring just two standard 9 volt batteries—three if you need phantom power), with optional battery power available for the MIXPAD 12 and MIXPAD 9 (see Appendix A on page 34), enabling the unit to be used for ENG (Electronic News Gathering), field broadcast and recording purposes. In the MIXPAD 4, the front-panel Power LED also indicates battery strength.

•The MIXPAD 4 includes a handy carrying strap for easy portability.

•Last but certainly not least, affordability. The Samson MIXPAD has been designed from the ground up to provide versatility and excellent sound quality at a cost-conscious price.
