  • Suggestions Needed on a Audio Mixing Board

    Posted by Jonathan Crayne on March 17, 2008 at 5:42 pm

    Hi All,

    I’m new to the forums so please let me know if I have listed this in the wrong place.

    I work for a non profit that recently purchased an 8core FCP system with an AJA LHe capture card. They also purchased two BX8a M-Audio speakers to go with it. These speakers are currently placed within 6inches of the computer monitors and on the same level. Even at the lowest setting on the speaker the volume is a bit high and due to varying produciton technicians the sound from tape frequently needs to be boosted on capture. I am looking for suggestions on an affordable mix board that I can route the speakers through so that I have a fully mutable volume level since the AJA controller doesn’t have this function. I would love if the same board can take XLR mic inputs as well.

    All positive help is appreciated.

    Mackie 1202 is a great small mixer. We have three of them here.

    I second the Mackie 1202 for your purposes. I own two that feed speakers in edit bays. The extra inputs are handy so you can monitor other sources like DVD players, CD players, and tape decks through the same speakers.

    You can often pick up Mackie 1202 boards on eBay. Because they are built like tanks, they handle shipping and handling well.

    Best,

    Tom
