This durable, high-quality wall plate is designed to seamlessly blend into any environment with its sleek silver finish, offering a stylish touch to your audio setup.

Crafted by Whirlwind, a brand synonymous with excellence in audio equipment, the MIPAI wall plate is a testament to their commitment to producing top-tier products. This 1-gang media input active wall plate stands out for its ease of installation and operation, requiring no additional power sources, making it a versatile choice for those seeking a straightforward audio control solution.

The MIPAI is an active, dual input mixer plate engineered to combine both line and microphone input sources into a single line-level balanced output. This feature is particularly beneficial for long-distance transmission to remote audio processing equipment. The plate is well-suited for applications in gymnasiums, banquet halls, conference centers, and other venues where localized volume control for source material is essential.

Each unit is a standalone two-channel mixer, equipped with one balanced mic level input via a 3-pin female XLR and a stereo aux input through a 3.5mm TRS unbalanced jack, which is summed to mono. Separate level controls for each input ensure precise sound management, with enough gain to drive modern power amplifiers to their full output capacity.

The MIPAI also includes a bass cut switch on the mic input to minimize rumble and handling noise, enhancing the clarity of your audio. For expanded configurations, the rear panel screw terminals allow for daisy-chaining up to two additional MIPAI plates, enabling the summing of multiple inputs while maintaining control over their respective levels.

Two LEDs on each plate provide visual feedback for signal levels at -10dB and +10dB, ensuring optimal audio performance. The last MIPAI in the chain will display the signal level on its LEDs, even without an active input to that specific plate.

For installation, a minimum electrical backbox depth of 2.5 inches is recommended for gangable box types, and 2.125 inches for utility box types. The rear circuit board features 8 position, 3.5mm screw-type, removable plugs for secure and reliable output connections.

The Whirlwind MIPAI 1 Gang Media Input Active Wall Plate is a user-friendly, high-quality choice for professional audio control, offering both functionality and style without the need for an external power supply. Whether you're setting up a sound system in a public venue or a private space, the MIPAI provides the versatility and performance you need to ensure a superior audio experience.
