COMPACT MIXER
If ever a mixer deserved to be called
“small but perfectly formed”, it’s the Spirit
Notepad that earned the title. Despite its
ultra-compact size and very affordable price tag,
the Notepad comes with the same professional
pedigree as all Spirit mixers,
and is packed with enough
features to handle a
surprisingly wide range of
mixing tasks.
Notepad squeezes into its sub-250mm
wide frame an amazing 10 inputs,
designed to handle everything from
phantom-powered studio condensor mics
to DJ decks and samplers. Its high-quality
components and advanced design ensure
CD-quality sound, while its ergonomic
layout makes the Notepad very easy to
use. And even on the smallest Spirit, as
well as essential features such as separate
mix and monitoring outputs, you get
custom-built pots designed to give the
same precision control and carefully-
tailored responses that grace the biggest
Soundcraft desks. However you look at it,
the Spirit Notepad is the most fully-
featured small mixer in town.
