Having 4 balanced XLR line/mic inputs with individual level and pan controls, the FMX-42 provides switchable (per channel) 48V phantom power and limiting, professional quality VU meters for accurate level setting, master level control, 1 k tone generator, 2 balanced XLR outputs (line/mic switchable), stereo mini-jack output for DV cameras and a headphone monitor with level control.

The FMX-42 can be powered by either 6 internal "AA" batteries or a 12V external supply (optional). A ballistic nylon carrying case is included.

• Balanced Mic Inputs
  The FMX-42 features 4 XLR microphone inputs. The balanced inputs deliver high gain and low noise floor.
• VU Meters
  Dual analog meters provide a comprehensive read on audio level.
• Balanced Line Level Outputs
  Dual balanced line level outputs via XLR male connectors provide balanced audio signal to line level inputs on cameras and additional mixers.
• 2 Channel Addressable Outputs
  Incoming signal from either channel can be assigned to either left or right outputs if signal isolation is desired.
• Input Limiters
  Both inputs feature high quality switchable limiters. The limiters protect against peak distortion due to overload.
