The Compact Analog Mixer for Your Home Studio! The Soundcraft COMPACT 4 mixer is suited to many applications requiring simple mix facilities, but it really comes into its own when used for recording vocals and music into your computer's DAW software! It's an economical mix solution for your project studio. Soundcraft COMPACT 4 Mixer at a Glance: Incredibly easy to use for recording Multiple input sources handle any type of mic or instrument 3-band input EQ, phantom power, balanced/unbalanced I/O, dual headphone outs and other pro-grade features Flexible true stereo monitoring allows blending live input and prerecorded tracks Incredibly easy to use for recording Soundcraft has incorporated many specific features to make the COMPACT 4 as easy as can be for recording use. First, it's simple to route an input straight to the record output simply by selecting the Record button on the channel. Multiple input sources handle any type of mic or instrument Also, The COMPACT 4 offers a wide variety of input sources. These include microphone, line, and a special DI (Direct Input) for guitars and keyboards, plus stereo inputs for keyboards, CD/tape, or turntable (with RIAA equalization). The DI input automatically matches the input impedance of the mixer to the output impedance of the instrument, ensuring professional-quality audio capture. EQ, phantom power, dual headphone outs and other pro-grade features Other standard features on the COMPACT 4 include 3-band EQ on the inputs, along with professional 48-volt phantom power for condenser microphones, dedicated balanced and unbalanced Record and Playback connections, independent engineer & artist headphone outputs, and monitor outputs. The COMPACT 4's dual headphone feeds provide a level of monitoring normally found in large commercial studios. Flexible true stereo monitoring All monitoring on the COMPACT 4 is in true stereo, rather than the mono-summed monitoring found on competitive products. This means that what you hear is always as it will be in your final master.Listening while recording is made easier thanks to a special blend control that allows you to control the mix of the computer playback mix and the signal of the track being recorded which are blended for the Artist headphone output. Using the COMPACT 4 for computer recording means zero-latency monitoring. You can listen to your track being recorded simultaneously with the playback from the computer, without the inherent signal delay of the computer sound card and host processor.

Customer Reviews  Hard To Beat!   by Scott Sundberg from South Central Michigan, March 10, 2008 Music Background:  Muckin' About in the Basement ... “I've had this mixer for over a year now and I still find myself very happy with it. The sound is warm (it IS a Soundcraft!) and the routing is superb for what I would call a nano-desk. The Compact 4's size may not be optimal for many; for me it has more than enough channels and options to keep me plugged in and recording for a long time to come. I found it very much in keeping...” Read More • Write Your Own Review More Analog Mixers from Soundcraft: · Soundcraft EFX8 · Soundcraft COMPACT 10 · Soundcraft EFX12 · Soundcraft LX7ii 32 · Soundcraft Ghost LE 32 · Soundcraft Spirit M12 · Soundcraft LX7ii · Soundcraft Ghost LE 24 View All Products from Soundcraft  Tell a Friend About the COMPACT 4!  Print This Page
