The MX-406 is a rack-mountable six-input, stereo mic/line
mixer designed to be used in fixed or portable installations.
Each input will accept either microphone or line-level
signals. If microphones are used, a -20dB pad switch is
available. The microphone input has an ultra low-noise
studio-grade mic preamp with up to 60dB of mic preamp
gain. A three-position switch allowing you to set input gain
for -20, -40 and -60dB is located on the front panel.
Each input has bass and treble shelving filters with
individual control of each filter. An Aux Send on each
input can be internally assigned pre or post level/EQ.
Level and pan controls complete each input.
Additional front panel controls include: Aux Master Out-
put, Left/Right Stereo Output, On/Off Power switch and
3.5mm stereo line in jack on the front panel offers a conve-
nient input alternative for MP3 players and smartphones.
A Mono/Phones output control allows you to adjust the
mono output and stereo headphone output. The Stereo
headphone output jack is located on the front panel. Front
panel LED indicators include channel clip, Phantom power,
AC power and an 11-step LED output level meter.
Connections on the rear panel include 1/4” TRS and XLR
jacks for each input, and an XLR transformer balanced
mono output.
The balanced stereo output jacks are 1/4” TRS.
Channel inserts are 1/4” TRS. Left and Right Stereo
Line Inputs (return) and Stereo Line Out use RCA
jacks. A switch turns +48V Phantom Power on or off.
Designed and built in the USA, the MX-406 has an
all-steel chassis, contains high-quality components
and has a five-year warranty.
