9-and 12-Channel Compact Audio Mixers
Featuring a high headroom design for matchless audio performance, the deceptively sized
Mixpad 9 is small but professional in every respect. Like the Mixpad 4 it offers superior
low-noise and low distortion specifications along with an exceptionally low group delay
over the full bandwidth for a transparent, open sound.An ideal choice for smaller live
sound situations such as clubs, acoustic setups, keyboard rigs and lounge acts, project
recording and more.
◆ In the MIXPAD 12, a total of twelve input
channels (including three stereo channels); in
the MIXPAD 9, a total of nine input channels
(including three stereo channels);
◆ Mono channels provide electronically balanced
inputs that can be used for mic or line-level
input, while stereo channels are ideal for
line-level sources such as outboard signal
processors; CD players; tape or cassette
recorders; stereo drum machines; and
keyboards and MIDI tone modules.
◆ An electronically balanced main stereo output
for connection to a power amplifier or tape
recorder.
◆ Dedicated Tape/CD input
◆ Tw o auxiliary sends and two stereo auxiliary
returns (which can be used as four monophon-
ic returns).Aux send 1 is pre-fader (but post-
equalizer), making it ideal for use as a head-
phone or monitor cue mix, while Aux send 2 is
post-fader and post-equalizer.
◆ Independent 2-band EQ for each channel, with
1±5 dB of cut/boost for low (100 Hz) and high
(10 kHz) frequencies.
◆ Constant level pan controls for placing each
mono channel in the left-right stereo spectrum,
as well as balance controls that let you blend
the relative levels of stereo inputs.
◆ Mic input trims are continuously adjustable
from +4 to -50 dB, making it possible to use
them with a wide variety of microphones.
◆ Provide 48 volts of phantom power to all mic
inputs
◆ 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 like live performance.
◆ Convenient front-panel Power switch,Power
LED and dedicated headphone jack.
Remarkably compact 9- and 12-channel mixers,the Mixpad 9 and 12 offer professional audio
performance and a wide range of user-intensive features for virtually any type of application. They
boast superior low noise and low distortion specifications, include wide-range gain trim controls for both mic and line inputs, provide very trans-
parent, open sound, and they have a very high slew rate—usually found on larger, more expensive mixers. They offer phantom power on all mic
inputs for use with condenser mics and an in-line power supply eliminates magnetically-induced hum.
Fully professional, the Mixpad 12’s complete feature set and high-quality audio
performance allows it to function very effectively in the studio, sound reinforce-
ment, field recording, audio for video and film applications and more. Almost
identical except for their inputs, both feature 2-band EQ and pan/balance and
level controls on each channel, a front-panel stereo headphone jack, 3 electroni-
cally balanced mic/line inputs (XLR and 1/4˝ connectors), three 1/4˝ stereo line
inputs, a CD/tape input, 48-volt phantom power, 2 Aux sends and 2 stereo Aux
returns (which have independent level controls and so can be used as 4 mono
Aux returns), as well as a main level control and power and peak LEDs.
