Rolls MX124 Portable 4 Channel Stereo Mixer
The Rolls MX124 ProMix IV is a lightweight, compact, four channel microphone mixer featuring 3-pin XLR inputs and transformer balanced XLR stereo (L/R) outputs. Located on the side of the unit are four 18V DC phantom power switches and four low-cut filter switches.
Individually switchable phantom power supplies allows the flexibility to use dynamic and condenser microphone simultaneously and low-cut filter switches eliminate hum, rumble and noise associated with wind and proximity effect. The front panel reveals level and pan controls for each channel. The 1/4" TRS phone and 1/8" (3.5mm) mini outputs can be used to feed headphones or as alternative stereo outputs. The mixer is completely portable, operating on two 9-Volt alkaline batteries, making it a convenient utility in ENG/EFP, video, sound reinforcement and public address applications.

This product is a simple, yet effective microphone mixer. It offers 4 XLR mic level inputs with switchable phantom power and low cut filters for each channel and stereo L/R XLR outputs. The XLR outputs are mic level; important to know when feeding the next piece of equipment in the chain. There are 1/4" and 1/8" phone outputs on the front of the device that are line level. Each input channel has input level and pan controls. There is a master output level control for each XLR output in the form of small, screwdriver rotors. The device comes with a 12 volt power adapter or can be powered via two 9 volt batteries. Solid build construction and clean sound. If the features offered are what you need, it's a fine device.

This is not a professional product but can be useful for some professional cameraman if you don't have a budget for a sound person and mixer. First, it is a 4 channel XLR input and 2 channel mic. level output, it is useful for a 2 camera interview setup and also shooting a forum with 4 mic., sound can be group and feed to both camera....
Be reminded, there a output level switch close to the output jack and you have to adjust to a lower level to avoid peaking before first use.
I have a zoom handle recorder and can be used as sound level monitor/recorder and this device has no meter for sound level. It is better if your camera can generate a 1KHz tone for sound level line up before every use.

Comments about Rolls MX124 Portable 4 Channel Stereo Mixer:
Hi, I do a lot of ENG field work and to be able to use a mixer of 4 mikes all needing different requirements this MX124 saves my work most days several times over. I recently gluded it to a heavy bracket so I can load it directly on to a tripod with a recording deck.... and 2 wireless recivers..Brilliant

Comments about Rolls MX124 Portable 4 Channel Stereo Mixer:
What can I say. It does everything I need. The price is right and although it cannot be hooked up to a tripod, you can buy a strap for it or put it in a carrying bag with your other sound equipment (like receivers and extra connectors etc.).
Overall a great little unit.

Comments about Rolls MX124 Portable 4 Channel Stereo Mixer:
I am a legal videographer and this mixer replaces my Mackie 1202vlz. It's sound is very comparable to my Mackie. It's size really makes life easier when you have to haul as much gear as a legal videographer has to.

Works great for interviews with Sony HVR-A1U camera. Great battery life. I was going to buy Shure mixer but this is much cheaper. Metal frame keeps S/N good but makes it heavy.

Comments about Rolls MX124 Portable 4 Channel Stereo Mixer:
If your client is willing to pay for an audioman with all his gear, go for it.
If not, this mixer is very helpful. It's not transparent, but the sound is quite good.
You have to make a choice; use less mikes ( usually 2 on your cam) and not background noise, or use up to four mike and deal with the hiss. Less is usually more, so I will use this mixer only in last resort. But if I decide to use it even with it's limitations, it's up to the task.
