The Azden FMX-42a is
a portable 4-channel audio mixer designed for professional and
semi-professional field audio capturing. The FMX-42a features 4 balanced
3-pin XLR microphone inputs with individually switched +48VDC phantom
power. A pair of balanced XLR outputs provide line or mic level (switchable)
signal to cameras, recorders, etc. Additional
features include a switchable input limiter to reduce the possibility of
overload distortion, Left/Center/Right pan switches on all input channels
and enhanced circuitry for improved signal-to-noise ratio. A 10-pin camera
return is also provided. Overall, the Azden FMX-42a proves to be an
affordable field mixing solution for event videos, ENG/EFP applications,
documentaries, and more.
Balanced
Mic Inputs
The FMX-42a
features 4 XLR microphone inputs. The balanced inputs deliver high gain
and low noise floor
VU Meters
Dual analog meters
provide a comprehensive read on audio level
Balanced
Line or Mic Level Outputs
Dual balanced line or mic level switchable outputs via XLR male connectors
provide balanced audio signal to inputs on cameras and additional mixers
2-Channel
Addressable Outputs
Incoming signal from either channel can be assigned to either left or
right outputs if signal isolation is desired
Input
Limiters
Both inputs feature high quality switchable limiters. The limiters protect
against peak distortion due to overload
