There’s a number of 4×2 ENG/EFP mixers on the market. Check out the Sound Devices 422 and PSC Alphamix. A portabrace mixer bag with an accessory pouch will hold all four of your wireless recievers. If your reciever packs will run off external 12V DC power, you could even run the entire audio kit from a single NP-1 battery with a battery distribution system.

Many thanks for all your inputs (sorry). So, as I understand it, the bag will contain:

4 wireless receivers
4 wireless mic transmitters
4 ac adapters
1 4 channel mixer
plus,
several pounds of cables and batteries.

That about cover it?

You should be able to either opperate the recievers off of alkaline batteries or else tap into the 12V DC power output of the mixer (if it has one, and if the recievers will accept it). If your wireless reciever’s won’t opperate off of internal batteries, you may want to reconsider using that particular model.

Other items I would strongly reccomend bringing along:

– Portabrace with accesory pouch for the mixer and recievers
– High-quality headphones (eg. Sony MDR-7506)
– An emergency wired handheld dynamic mic (eg. Shure SM-58)

You’ll probably never need the emergency mic, but at around $100 its pretty cheap insurrance.

Thanks Stephen,

I’ll start saving up for it now…
