Shure FP33 ($1,950) Response: 20Hz-20kHz 3-channel balanced XLR input; 2-channel balanced XLR output 2 9-volt batteries or 12VDC 3.5 lbs; 7.25"x6.4"x2.25" THE STATS mixer — the number of inputs and connections are the most common. “When you’re in the portable world, your main limitation is with the connectors because they take up size,” says Tatooles. “Along with knobs and control, connectors are what limits the practicality of having a portable mixer.” Sound Devices offers the 302 compact production field mixer with three inputs and limiters. It accepts a wide range of input signals and wireless receivers. Tatooles called it a full-featured compact mixer, but the tradeoff is its limited number of outputs. Sony Pro Audio offers the DMX-P01, a 24-bit 48kHz or 96kHz digital mixer with sound quality that Kussmaul said matches that of a studio mixer. “Compared with a mixer configured for studio operations, the DMX-P01 has a limit of four mike/line inputs. However, two DMX-P01 portable mixers can be cascaded together offering a total of eight mike/line inputs,” he notes. Azden Corporation has the relatively new FMX-42 4-channel portable mixer, with four balanced XLR line/mike inputs and individual level and pan controls. It offers switchable 48V phantom power and limiting VU meters, master level control, tone generator, two balanced XLR outputs, a stereo mini-jack output, and a headphone monitor with level control. Another well-known portable mixer is Shure’s FP33, a three-channel, twooutput unit with 12V phantom power. Specifically designed for ENG and remote audio recording, the FP33 includes LED indicators of input levels, output peaks, and limiter action.
