Roland has added Go:Mixer Pro-X to its Go:Mixer family of audio mixers for mobile content creation of high-quality multichannel sound for music videos, livestreams, podcasts smartphones and tablets.
The new Go:Mixer Pro-X offers expanded support for Android and iOS mobile devices over the Go:Mixer Pro model, including a guitar/bass input pad switch, and the ability to use a headset mic or the inline mic on smartphone earbuds as a sound source.
Go:Mixer Pro-X can connect and mix up to seven audio sources, including a professional XLR microphone, guitar or bass, a stereo instrument like a keyboard or drum machine, and two stereo line-level devices. The headphone jack supports an additional mic feed, and the Loop Back function allows music and other audio from a connected mobile device to be mixed in as well. A newly added pad switch for the dedicated guitar/bass input lets users attenuate the signal, if needed, for instruments with active pickups.
The unitis equipped with both USB Micro-B and four-pole TRRS analogue jacks, providing plug-and-play operation with most iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Three different cable types are included for connecting to Lightning, USB-C, and four-pole TRRS jacks on mobile devices. Go:Mixer Pro-X can be powered with four AAA-size batteries or through the device connection when the USB Micro-B connector is used.
In addition to providing sound for videos and livestreams, Go:Mixer Pro-X can be used as an audio interface for music apps like Roland’s own Zenbeats or GarageBand, and it also works as a portable standalone mixer for practicing and performing.
