Bringing versatile mixing in a portable, compact, and affordable package, the Astatic M2 Mixer with USB Interface from CAD is a 2-channel analog mixer with built-in USB bus power and digital interfacing abilities. Ideal for portable or home studio applications, this mixer is small but flexible, sporting two mono channels that can be linked for panned stereo mixing, selectable mic or line input modes, and digital sampling up to 48 kHz / 24-bits.
The M2 features two combo XLR/1/4" inputs, two balanced 1/4" TRS main outputs, one 1/4" headphone output, and a 3.5mm headset mic input, which is sent to channel two for mixing. Selectable +48V phantom power lets you use any condenser microphone, or power a mixer lamp. And each channel has selectable reverb FX inserts with dedicated level and depth controls, volume controls, and 2-band shelving EQ controls for quickly dialing in the perfect mix.
