There are no aux send master controls, though there are level controls for the two stereo returns. Using the left input only configures the channel for mono use.Ī smooth‑sounding, twin‑band high/low EQ (+/‑ 15dB 100Hz and 10kHz) is fitted to all channels, along with one pre‑ and one post‑fade aux send, and a pan/balance control. All three mic/line inputs are electronically balanced with gain trim controls and permanent phantom power, while the three stereo line channels are unbalanced, with separate jacks for the left and right inputs. The MixPad 9 is divided into mono mic/line channels and stereo line only channels - in this case, three of each. There's also a stereo phono tape/CD input, but this is paralleled with the last pair of line inputs, so it can't be counted as independent. Measuring a diminutive 239 x 228 x 58mm, the MixPad 9 scores hugely on cuteness, and if you count the two stereo returns, you'll find you can mix up to 13 different signals, which is impressive for a mixer that's no bigger than a mouse mat. Samson's 9‑channel MixPad 9 is so small, it makes Mackie's 1202 VLZ look like a full‑scale recording console. Portable, easy to use and packed with many features that ensure optimal control over your performance, Samson’s MXP144FX represents a great choice for an affordable live mixer.The construction might be solid steel, but you don't need the strength of Samson to lift this little mixer, as Paul White discovers. A four segment LED for level metering in dark environments is provided for safe and efficient operation. The MXP144FX features four Stacked-Stereo channels for increased input versatility and portability. In addition a compressor is available on 2 channel inputs. Each channel is built with a 3-band EQ, gain trim, high pass filter and a pre-fader Aux send. The MXP144FX features 4 balanced Class A MDR (Maximum Dynamic Range) XLR mic preamps with 48V phantom power. Output flexibility makes the MXP144FX a worthy companion, regardless of venue size, giving you precise fader control, over your main mix. It features 100 24-bit, low noise digital effects, a Mix 2 output, Headphone monitoring with level control, RCA Tape out, and USB for recording your performances. It can be used to deliver intuitive mixing and audio quality for small clubs, houses of worship, bars, restaurants and more.


For blending sounds the MIXPAD MXP144FX Analog Stereo Mixer with Effects and USB by Samson is a good choice to get the job done.
