PORTABLE MIXERS
FMX-42
Having 4 Balanced XLR line/mic inputs with individual level and pan
controls, the FMX-42 provides switchable (per channel) 48V phantom
power and limiting, professional quality VU meters for accurate level
setting, master level control, 1k tone generator, 2 Balanced XLR out-
puts (line/mic switchable), stereo mini jack output for DV cams, and
a headphone monitor with level control.
It can be powered by either six internal "AA" batteries or a
12V external supply (optional). The pictured ballistic nylon
case is included.
INPUTS
OUTPUTS
Alow-noise 3-channel portable mixer designed
for use by professional videographers, the
FMX-32 connects easily to the video
camera's "MIC" input via the mixer's
balanced XLR outputs or its 3.5mm
unbalanced stereo output. Each mic input
has switchable phantom power (48V DC).
FMX-32 FEATURES:
•3Balanced XLR inputs w/individual level controls
•Phantom Power with On/Off switch
for each input (48V)
• 2 Balanced XLR outputs
•5-Step LED output level indicator
•Selectable output configurations
•Stereo mini-jack output for DV cameras
•Headphone Output (stereo or mono) w/level control
•3-position Power Switch with Power On/Low Battery LED
•Operates for 15 hours on 6 “AA” batteries (not supplied)
•DC Input for optional external power supply
•Built-in Limiter with On/Off switch to prevent overload
• Dimensions: 6.69"(L)x4.33"(D)x1.96"(H)
Aportable 2-channel mixer designed for use by the professional
videographer, the small (3.75" x 1.625" X 5"), all metal, battery
operated (9V) mixer can be attached directly to the camera
withsupplied hook-and-loop fastener or belt-worn using the
3-position belt clip. The FMX-20 has the following features:
enhanced circuitry for an improved signal-to-noise ratio,
a3-step LED array for easy signal monitoring, a 12V DC input
for external power, a switchable input limiter to reduce the
possibility of overload distortion, and a channel-addressable
1/4" monitor headphone jackwithlevel control, 2 balanced
XLR mic inputs, 2 channel-addressable XLR line-level outputs
with level controls, a stereo mini-jack (3.5mm) line-level output
and a POWER On/Off/LowBattery LED indicator.
