Azden FMX-32 Field Mixer 3 Channel Field Mixer

AZDEN FMX32 Details ^top

Professional field mixer w/3 XLR assignable inputs, 2 XLR outputs plus a mini-plug output, adjustable input level, headphone monitor w/volume control. Switchable Phantom Power, LEDs for Peak Level, power and battery condition. Supplied w/hook-and-loop fastener.

A portable 3-channel field mixer with phantom power, the FMX-32 is designed for use by the professional videographer. The small ( 1.96 x 6.69 x 4.33 inches), all metal, battery operated (6-“AA”) mixer can be attached directly to the camera with supplied hook-and-loop mounting tape. The FMX-32 has the following features: enhanced circuitry for improved signal-to-noise ratio, 5-step LED array for easy signal monitoring, a 12V DC input for external power, switchable input limiter to reduce the possibility of overload distortion, channel-addressable outputs and a 1/4" monitor headphone jack with level control.

It also has: 3 balanced XLR mic inputs each with switchable phantom power, 2 channel addressable balanced XLR line-level outputs with level controls, a stereo mini-jack (3.5mm) output, and a POWER On/Off/Low Battery LED indicator.

Azden FMX-32 Key Features
3 Balanced XLR Inputs With Individual Level Controls
Controls the input level of the microphone connected to each input channel. Zero is the lowest (quietest) setting, 10 is the highest (loudest).
Switchable Phantom Power For Each Input
Each mic input has available phantom power (48V DC) with On/Off switch.

Two XLR Outputs, One Mini Jack Output
The FMX-32 features 2 balanced XLR mic/line switchable outputs. Connect a cable from OUTPUT CH A and/or CH B to the mic or line input of your video camera or audio recorder. These outputs accept a standard 3-pin female XLR connector equipped cable.
The UNBALANCE OUTPUT (mini-jack) is designed for video cameras or audio recorders which have mini-jack microphone or line inputs. Because the FMX-32 has low-impedance XLR inputs and a mini-plug output, users of mini DV cameras that have mini-plug microphone inputs can now use high-quality microphones with XLR outputs. The UNBALANCED OUTPUT output is stereo (dual-channel). It is recommended to use a stereo-to-stereo mini cable (not supplied) from the UNBALANCED OUTPUT to the mic or line input of your video camera or audio recorder.

5-Step Output Level Indicator LED Array For Easy Signal Monitoring
Configurable Output
One microphone can be mixed to both outputs as well as either single output while two microphones can be mixed to either single output or mixed together to both outputs. When mixing 2 mics, you can also output the audio from one microphone to one channel while outputting the audio from both mics to the other channel.
Headphone Output (Stereo or Mono) With Level Control
The FMX-32 has a 1/4" monitor headphone jack with level control. You can connect a stereo or mono headphone to the MONITOR output. A MONITOR control adjusts the volume level of headphones connected to the MONITOR output. A 3-position switch allows you to monitor either the Left or Right channel or both. Normally, your would set the MONITOR selector to position L/R, allowing you to monitor the sound of all connected microphones using either stereo or mono headphones. If you only want to hear the output from the left channel, use stereo headphones and set the switch to position L. Or, if you only want to hear the output from the right channel, use stereo headphones and set the switch to position R.
POWER On/Off/Low Battery LED Indicator
When the POWER switch is turned ON, the POWER LED will turn green to indicate the power is on and the battery is charged. When the battery voltage level is low, the POWER LED will turn red.
Runs on Ordinary AA atteries
The FMX-32 operates for 15 hours on 6 AA batteries (not supplied).
12V DC Input
The FMX-32 can be run on 6 AA battery power or plug an optional AC adapter into the 12 volt input. A 3-position Power switch allows you to select internal (battery) power, external (AC) power or OFF.
Built-in Switchable Input Limiter
The limiter can be switched on to protect against peak distortion due to overload
