Fine mixer, fine price

I use this with wireless system and it makes me free without cables to camera. I like it very much, but the VU meters were disappointment for me. Maybe ten or more leds would be better.

About Azden FMX-42

It is essential for audio professionals to have equipment that delivers precision and clarity, and the FMX-42 Pro 4-Channel Microphone Field Mixer stands as a testament to this requirement.

The FMX-42 Pro boasts four high-quality balanced 3-pin XLR microphone inputs, each with its own dedicated +48VDC phantom power switch, allowing for the connection of both dynamic and condenser microphones. This feature ensures that audio capture is not limited by microphone type, providing users with the flexibility to use their preferred audio sources.

A key advantage of the FMX-42 Pro is its ten pin camera return capability, which seamlessly integrates with compatible cameras, enabling users to directly compare the mixer's input signal with the camera's output signal. This function is invaluable for ensuring audio consistency and quality during recording.

Additionally, the mixer is equipped with a pair of balanced XLR outputs, delivering line-level signal to a variety of recording devices, including cameras and recorders. This ensures that the captured audio is easily transferable to post-production environments for editing and mastering.

To prevent overload distortion and maintain the integrity of the audio signal, the FMX-42 Pro includes a switchable input limiter. This feature acts as a safeguard against unexpected volume spikes, preserving the clarity of the audio.

The FMX-42 Pro also features Left / Center / Right Pan switches on all input channels, offering users precise control over the stereo field and the placement of audio within the mix. This level of control is crucial for creating a balanced and immersive audio experience.

Enhanced circuitry within the FMX-42 Pro contributes to an improved signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring that recordings are crisp and free of unwanted background noise. This attention to detail in the mixer's design underscores its reliability and professional-grade performance.

In summary, the FMX-42 Pro 4-Channel Microphone Field Mixer is a durable, high-quality, and professional audio solution that provides the versatility and reliability required by audio professionals in the field. Whether capturing audio for event videos, ENG/EFP, documentaries, or other demanding applications, the FMX-42 Pro stands out as an affordable and indispensable tool in achieving pristine audio quality.
