The Soundcraft Notepad-12FX is a compact 12-channel analog mixing console with an integrated 4x4 USB audio interface and built-in Lexicon effects. It is ideal for music production, podcasts, video editing, interviews, rehearsals, songwriting sessions, and mobile events. This console combines professional analog components, such as four microphone preamps with XLR/6.35mm jack combo inputs, a 3-band EQ, and 100 Hz high-pass filters. In addition, inputs 1 and 3 offer high-impedance instrument inputs for connecting guitars and other high-impedance instruments. Channels 1 through 8 feature gain and trim controls, and all channels are equipped with an aux send, pan, and level controls. Channels 5/6 and 7/8 have 6.35mm line inputs, while channels 9/10 are equipped with stereo RCA inputs. Channels 11/12 feature 6.35mm jack inputs and also serve as external effects returns to feed an external effects processor. Outputs include an XLR Master L/R output, a 6.35mm jack aux output, and a dedicated 6.35mm jack headphone output with selectable monitoring from the master bus or the USB 3/4 return. Built-in effects include a delay with tap tempo, reverb, chorus, and a karaoke effect. The master section offers a master fader and four LED meters with -20 dB, 0 dB, +6 dB, and peak settings. The Notepad-12FX features a rugged metal housing and comes with an external power supply.
