PURPOSE

The MX101 is a three input miniature mono mixer designed for demanding in-the-field

use in broadcast ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and Field Production applications.

The MX101 incorporates most of the features requested by news professionals, sports

announcers, and film and video sound engineers into a tiny and rugged package.

The MX100 and MX100C Studio Mixers are lower cost, high quality studio mixers for

applications, which do not require the full feature complement of the MX101 field mixer.

The MX100C adds an output limiter to the basic MX100 features.

The companion XP100 Input Expander provides an additional four switchable

microphone /line inputs and can be used with any of the mixers.

The MX101/ MX100/ MX100C Mixers may be used alone or in combination with the

XP100 Expander for any application requiring a compact, rugged and professional

sounding, mixing or input selection system. Several XP100 Expanders may be added for

up to a 23 input system with minimal noise buildup in the mixing network. The MX100

or MX100C alone makes an efficient stereo-to-mono combiner, a simple voice-over PA

driver with inputs for noise masking and background music, or simply a very clean and

quiet mike or line input mixer

Several power modules for field use are available including both replaceable and

rechargeable 24V battery packs, DC/DC converters for 6 to18V automotive or belt pack

battery power and plug-in 24VDC wall supplies. An optional rugged Field Pack carry bag

includes side protection plates for the mixer with quick-change slide mounts for the

battery packs.

DESCRIPTION

MX101 MONO FIELD MIXER

Three XLR INPUTS with phantom power and front panel MIC/LINE switches drive low

noise instrumentation preamplifiers with a wide range of internal dip switch selectable

preamp gains from 60 to 0dB to accommodate either high or low output microphones and

line inputs. Phantom power can be individually Dipswitch selected for each input and is

automatically switched off in the line input mode. Front panel switches activate

individual LO-CUT FILTERS to reduce bumps, thumps, and wind noise and bass build-

up.

A switched TEST TONE oscillator and a SLATE microphone easily mark takes. An

intense LED bargraph VU meter monitors the line output and is easily viewed even in

bright sunlight. A LIMIT indicator and switch shows peaks and limiter action. The

MX101 provides a high-level line output that will drive either balanced or unbalanced

external loads of 600 ohms or higher. The XLR output may also be jumper-plug
