Sound Devices 302 Overview

The 302 Portable Compact Production Field Mixer from Sound Devices is a compact, battery-powered professional audio mixer with three mic preamps and balanced transformers designed to handle very low frequencies. It can be used to interface with wireless transmitters and receivers, camera audio inputs, or external audio recorders in ENG (electronic news gathering), EFP (electronic field production), and broadcast TV applications.

With a complete feature set like the super-bright LED display, internal limiter, and high-pass filter, the 302 can accommodate nearly any over-the-shoulder production and perform reliably in just about any indoor/outdoor field condition. Controls on the 302 mixer are accessible on its three main surfaces, and the mixer is powered by three internal AA batteries or an external 5 to 18 VDC adapter (sold separately).

This mixer is a suitable tool for production companies and camera operators wanting to take control of their audio. In addition, an XL-14 headphone extension cable, four adhesive rubber bumpers, four color dot stickers, and a setup menu reference card are also included.

3 Transformer Balanced Inputs
The compact mixer features 3 transformer-balanced microphone or line-level switchable inputs via XLR female 3-pin connectors.
Flexible Monitoring
The 302's headphone monitor out is capable of varying output impedance between 8 to 2000 Ohms. The monitor source is capable of individual channel, mono, stereo, M-S to stereo monitoring, and more.
Input and Output Limiting
Each input and stereo outputs provide limiting that prevents signal overload, eliminating noise and distortion.
Polarity (Phase) Reverse Switch
Channels 1 & 2 are stereo linkable and channel 2 features a polarity (phase) reverse switch. This makes the 302 ideal for decoding M-S stereo captured audio signal.
Selectable Phantom Power
The unit is capable of powering condenser microphones requiring +48V, +12V and +12V-T phantom power. Phantom power is individually switched for every channel.
High-Pass Filters
A three-position high-pass filter switch is available on every input and is used to reduce excessive low frequencies at 12 dB per octave at 80 Hz or 160 Hz. Center position is off.
