Citronic Q-PAD-8 Compact Mixer with USB/BT & Audio Interface

The QTX Q-PAD-8 is a versatile compact mixer designed for live performance, home studios, podcasting and laptop DJ setups. Small enough to fit into a portable rig but packed with useful features, it gives you flexible mixing and recording options without a complicated setup.

The mixer is powered via USB-C and also includes a second USB-C connection that works as a built in audio interface, allowing direct recording and playback with a computer. Four mono input channels accept either XLR microphones or 6.3mm jack line and instrument sources, with selectable input modes and switchable 48V phantom power for condenser microphones. Two additional stereo line channels provide extra inputs for keyboards, media players or DJ equipment.

Each channel has gain control along with bass and treble EQ so you can shape your sound quickly. An onboard digital delay effect can be applied using the AUX control for simple echo effects, or the AUX output can be used to connect external processors if required.

For easy music playback, the Q-PAD-8 includes a USB media player for MP3 playback from a memory stick and built in Bluetooth for wireless streaming from a smartphone or tablet. Main outputs are available on both jack and XLR connections, and there are dedicated recording and headphone outputs for monitoring and capture.
