Notepad-12FX 12-Channel Analog Mixer With USB I/O And Lexicon Effects

The Soundcraft Notepad-12FX brings a 12-channel analog mixer, a built-in USB audio interface, and Lexicon digital effects together in one compact console for music, podcasts, and video production. Four mic/line combo inputs run through high-quality Soundcraft microphone preamps, with two of those inputs offering Hi-Z switching for guitars and other high-impedance sources. Each channel gets a traditional strip layout with 3-band EQ, an aux send, pan, and level control, giving a familiar workflow for mixing a live set or building a podcast episode. The Lexicon processing section adds studio-quality reverb, chorus, and delay with tap tempo control, built into the mixer's DSP engine so there's no need for outboard effects units or plug-ins to add polish. A stereo line input with trim, an RCA stereo playback input, and a stereo FX return round out the connections, while the built-in USB interface sums with the RCA input to feed channels 9/10, letting a Mac or PC plug straight in for recording, editing, and playback without a separate interface. A main fader with LED metering and a rotary headphone volume control keep monitoring simple, and the durable metal enclosure is built to survive repeated setup for gigs, rehearsals, and recording sessions. Three models make up the Notepad line, and the 12FX sits at the top for anyone who needs more channels or the added effects.
