During Superbooth 2017, Bastl Instruments announced a new amazing, portable, battery powered audio mixer with 5 mono channels. For me personal, this little device was one of the show highlights this year because it gives musicians the possibilities to create music with small devices everywhere. Many companies released in the past cool small music instruments but the main problem is mixing and recording them.
The DUDE mixer breaks in my opinion the classic thinkings to be shackle at home or in the music studio to creating music. With DUDE, musicians can take their little machines with and make music in the nature or in any other environment. A really cool and cheap device that expand a lot the power of small and portable instruments.
Dude is a portable battery operated 5 channel audio mixer with mini jack inputs and output. Each channel has a dedicated mute button and up to +20dB gain to boost weak signals and saturate line level signals. It is a monophonic mixer but can drive your headphones and therefore its perfect for small portable rigs or submixes on stage. It runs on four AA batteries (or external power supply) and it is almost as small as its battery pack. Because each channel has enough gain it can be turned into a tone generator by feeding the output back to an input thru a passive eq and other simple circuits.
Features:
- 5 channel monophonic mixer
- up to +20dB (10x) gain knob for each channel
- dedicated mute button switch per channel (not click less)
- dual mono output for driving headphones
- powered by 4x AA battery or external adaptor 9-12VDC
Bastl Instruments DUDE is now available from their official web store for 79€
