SAMSON MIXPAD MXP124FX PC

Since the MixPad acts as an audio interface, it also receives audio from your computer and sends it to your headphones through the mix. Beginning at the top, you’ll find your level monitor that lights up LEDs to show whether you’re levels are too loud, too quiet, or even peaking out and a button to send phantom power to attached XLR mics (USB mics are powered by the computer, XLR mics need an external power source which is our “phantom power”).īelow that, we find controls for mixing in the audio from your PC. Moving all the way to the right, we have some really neat features. Channels 5-8 can be recorded in stereo or mono but share the same settings. The first four channels all feature their own equalizers, allowing you to change your voice to sound its best, as well as high-pass filters to cut out white noise in the background. Four XLR connections are supported and each channel includes a 1/4' input that’s standard for audio gear (though you might want to invest in one of these to connect your gaming headset).

What you’ll find here is a board that allows for 12 separate audio inputs and can send them through to your PC as a single signal. For about the same price as the Scarlett Focusrite 2i2, the Samson MXP124FX provides excellent quality with far more options than your average interface. I’m glad I did because that inkling turned out to be correct. When Samson reached out and asked us to take a look at their G-Track Pro, I knew I had to take the opportunity to ask about their MXP124FX, a 12 channel mixer that’s also an audio interface. At that point, the question often shifts: XLR or USB? Almost without exception, the recommendation for expanding streamers is to invest in an XLR microphone and a quality audio interface to connect it to your PC.Īt this point, we see quality options like the Scarlett Focusrites suggested, but for the maximum amont of control, I had an inkling from my music background that what you really want is a quality mixer. This question is often repeated once the asker has been streaming a while and is ready to upgrade. One of the most common questions from new streamers is which microphone they should choose.
