The Whirlwind podMIX Passive Mixer is designed to combine a microphone and a stereo line-level audio source to a single input channel. It's suitable for mingling the signals of a microphone and a portable media player, for example.
Two mute switches allow you to switch off the mic and line-level signal respectively, while a level knob lets you blend the volume of the line-level signal with your incoming microphone. Microphones can plug into the XLR input jack. Line level sources have their choice: the 3.5mm stereo input, or two RCA inputs. All of it funnels to an XLR output.
Phantom power can pass through the device, which is passive in construction, and requires no power to run. A ground lift switch is on hand to minimize the hum and noise associated with ground loops.
- A variable attenuator on the line input allows level matching and mixing between the music source and the microphone
- Mute switches on both the mic and line inputs provide convenient on/off control over each signal
- Works with both dynamic and condenser microphones and passes phantom power from the output to the mic input
- Features a ground lift switch on the line input to help eliminate hum and buzz
- Can also be used as a DI box
