- Balanced Mic Inputs: The FMX-42 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 Level Outputs: Dual balanced line level outputs via XLR male connectors provide balanced audio signal to line level inputs on cameras and additional mixers.
- 2 Channel Addressable Outputs: Incoming signal from either channel can 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.
Having 4 balanced XLR line/mic inputs with individual level and pan controls, the FMX-42a provides switchable (per channel) 48V phantom power and limiting, professional quality VU meters for accurate level setting, master level control, 1k tone generator, 2 balanced XLR outputs (line/mic switchable), stereo mini-jack output for DV cameras, 10-pin Camera Return, mini-jack Camera Return and a headphone monitor with level control.
The FMX-42a can be powered by either 6 internal "AA" batteries or an optional 12V DC external supply (Locking 4-Pin Hirose connector). A ballistic nylon carrying case is included.
