The Fostex FM-4 Portable Mixer for 4 channel mobile recording.
The FM-4 makes recording on-the-go much easier for field recorders and musicians.
The FM-4 from Fostex features 4 balanced XLR inputs for mic or line signals.
Also 12T and 48V Phantom power, an ultra-low noise pre-amp design with high quality custom transformers and switchable Hi Shelving EQ and Mid Sweep EQ.
There are multiple output options including sub outputs, a Tape output and 2 x AUX outputs with channel select. The main outputs (x2) and sub outputs (x2) also double as 1-4ch Direct Out (post-fader). In addition, a dedicated monitor return input is available for referencing audio from VTR or Camera feeds.
