Soundcraft Notepad mixers launched at Messe

Small-format recording and mixing solution unveiled

Harman Professional Solutions have introduced three new Soundcraft Notepad mixers. The Notepad-5, -8FX and -12FX are desktop analogue mixing surfaces that include Lexicon signal processing, and USB I/O connectivity. Streamlined to meet today’s audio workflow challenges, the new SoundcraftNotepad 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.”

The new Notepad mixers include XLR combi jack mic/line inputs for easy connection with mics, professional audio gear, and 1/4" balanced inputs for connecting keyboards, playback devices and more. USB I/O connectivity enables easy 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 renowned HARMAN Digital Signal Processing (DSP), including Lexicon reverbs, chorus and delay with tap tempo control.

A traditional channel strip layout provides fast and efficient access to desired channels and sends. Three-band EQ is provided  per channel on the -8FX and -12FX, suitable for simple audio shaping for incoming audio signals. An Aux/FX send makes it easy to feed audio signals to external effects sends or built in Lexicon digital processing. A master fader with LED metering provides XLR stereo output level control. Meanwhile, a rotary headphone level provides simple control for master mix or aux output levels.

The Notepad-5, -8FX and -12FX are expected to be available in July 2017, with UK pricing to be confirmed at time of writing.
