Samson MIXPAD - Manual (Page 5)

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.
