Notepad-5 and Notepad-12FX models follow later this month. The Notepad-5, -8FX and -12FX are desktop analogue mixing surfaces that include Harman signal processing and USB I/O connectivity. Streamlined to meet today’s audio workflow challenges, the new Soundcraft Notepad surfaces offer exceptional value and performance for podcasters, singer-songwriters and audio professionals who require small format mixing solutions.
“Soundcraft Notepad mixers have a long history with musicians and audio professionals who need high-quality, small-format desktop mixing solutions,” said Scott Wood, mixers solutions manager, Harman Professional Solutions. “The new Notepad generation maintains that trusted history, while adding legendary Lexicon signal processing and USB I/O connectivity, all at an entry-level price.”
Soundcraft Notepad mixers include professional microphone pre-amps with audio quality for a variety of uses, XLR combination jack mic/line inputs for easy connection with professional audio gear, and 1/4″ balanced inputs for connecting keyboards, playback devices and more. USB I/O connectivity enables recording and playback with digital audio workstations or video audio workstations.
In addition, users of the Notepad-8FX and Notepad-12FX can also enhance their audio using Harman Digital Signal Processing (DSP), including Lexicon reverbs, chorus and delay with tap tempo control.
