Soundcraft 5085985US Notepad-12FX

The Notepad-12FX is a compact yet capable mixing console purpose-built for home studio recording, podcast production, and multitrack tracking sessions. Its lightweight metal chassis and intuitive layout fit seamlessly into tight production spaces, while the comprehensive I/O and integrated Lexicon FX processing deliver professional results without requiring external gear or additional outboard effects.

Connectivity & I/O Architecture

This mixer provides 12 input channels across multiple formats: 4 combo XLR-1/4" mic/line inputs, 6 dedicated 1/4" line inputs, and 2 RCA inputs for consumer audio sources. Balanced XLR master outputs, a dedicated 1/4" aux send, stereo return capability, and independent headphone controls enable flexible signal routing for cue mixes, recording submixes, and effects chains during tracking and overdubs.

Processing & USB Integration

Integrated Lexicon FX delivers delay, reverb, and chorus effects accessible via the aux send, adding depth and dimension to vocals, instruments, and submixes without consuming extra rack space. The 4-in/4-out USB audio interface connects directly to Mac (OS X 10.10 or later) or PC (Windows 7 SP1 or later), enabling seamless multitrack recording, DAW integration, and real-time monitoring with minimal latency during overdub sessions.
