The Wendt X3 is a 3-channel field audio mixer designed for ENG/EFP broadcast and remote audio recording on location. With a feature set that is identical to the Wendt X4 and X5 field mixers, the X3 features the flexibility necessary for professional application, featuring 3-channels and a compact light weight profile.

The Wendt X3 features 3 balanced microphone and line level switchable XLR inputs with rotary gain controls, pan control switches and low-cut filter switches. Three position pan control switches provide control over left, center and right stereo signal placement. Low-cut filter switches eliminate low frequency noise at 100Hz and 140Hz (12dB/octave). The X3's low noise signal path ensures low signal-to-noise ratio on output. Output connections include stereo L/R balanced XLR and unbalanced TA-3 male connections. A TA-5 male link connection in provided for linking an X3 to an X5 field mixer. The X3 will operate up to 12 hours on 6-AA alkaline batteries and +48V phantom power is supplied.

    Comments about Wendt X3 3-Channel Portable ENG/EFP Field Mixer:

    i bought this to use on my 2nd sound/boom op job, which was shooting a p.s.a. i had been researching this mixer and the sound devices 302, and after scouring the web for deals on either new or used units, i decided that this mixer was perfect for my current and future needs and b&h had the lowest price for a new one.

    i was very pleased with how easy it was to setup and to use. the preamps are quiet, with enough gain for the small variety of mics i have used with it so far. i also purchased the snake for this unit, which made monitoring a breeze. battery consumption was incredibly low... never had to change them once during a two day shoot (both days over 6 hrs), but i did shut it down whenever it wasn't needed, during setups, etc. to conserve them. perfect size and weight. the led's are easy to see and markings easy to read. i'm very pleased with this mixer.
