The Notepad-5 from Soundcraft is a small-format, 5-channel analog mixing console with an integrated 2x2 USB audio interface, well suited for music production, podcasts, video production, interviews, rehearsals, writing sessions, and mobile events. The mixer combines professional-grade analog components such as a microphone preamp with a combo XLR-1/4" input, 2-band EQ, and a 100 Hz high-pass filter. Additionally, input 1 offers a Hi-Z instrument input for incorporating guitars and other high-impedance instruments.
Channels 1-3 include gain/trim controls, a monitor send, and level controls. Channels 2/3 utilize 1/4" line-level inputs, while channels 4/5 include stereo RCA inputs. Outputs include Master L/R on XLR, a 1/4" monitor send, and a dedicated 1/4" monitor output button to select between mono line output or stereo headphone output.
