Mix5 Compact 5-Channel Mixer+Backpack

This bundle pairs the Mackie Mix5 compact mixer with a Rockville RPAK Charcoal backpack, giving a mobile engineer or solo performer a way to carry the mixer, cables, and a laptop in a single bag. The Mix5 packs a high-headroom, low-noise mic/line input, 2-band EQ, and 48V phantom power into a rugged metal chassis that measures just 1.7 by 5.5 by 7.7 inches and weighs 1.4 lb, with stereo line inputs, RCA playback and recording connections, and main L/R outputs for a small PA. The RPAK Charcoal backpack then carries that mixer alongside a laptop, with a padded, Velcro-secured laptop pocket that fits up to a 15 inch machine inside the main compartment. That main compartment expands to 21.75 inches tall when unzipped for larger loads or folds to 18 inches for a slimmer profile, and a hidden side zippered compartment keeps small items like the mixer separate from cables. Side pockets hold a water bottle or umbrella, and padded, adjustable straps keep the load comfortable across a full gig day. Durable nylon fabric stands up to the wear of regular travel between rehearsals, sessions, and shows.
