SAMSON MDR1064
Friendly 10-into-2 Mic/Line Mixer (AC Mains Power only)
| specs | manual |

Here's a straightforward, easy-to-use 10-channel mixer for solid state sound recordists who need up to 6 microphone inputs and a couple of stereo inputs. On top of this are two stereo aux returns, plus two-track sends and returns for recording to and playing back from your external stereo recorder. As with many smaller mixers, this one is powered from an external adaptor which locks to the mixer via a threaded, three-pin connector.

Built from sheet steel with moulded-plastic end cheeks, the Samson MDR1064 is physically quite shallow and has a rounded front edge to make using it comfortable. Although this little mixer is about as simple as a mixer could be, it has a decent technical specification, with frequency response extending from 10Hz to 45kHz and an overall signal-to-noise ratio of 105dB. Distortion is very low, at better than 0.005 percent. Sonically, the mic preamps are quiet and transparent-sounding, with no obvious coloration, and the gain controls are nicely progressive rather than having all the gain bunched up at the top end (as it is with some designs).

The MDR in the model number means Maximum Dynamic Range which sums it up nicely - the MDR440 delivers premium audio performance in an uncomplicated package.

• Full-featured compact mixer for live or studio use

• Six high quality Microphone Pre Amps

• Channel Inserts

• Two Stereo Channels

• 3 band EQ on all channels

• Dual Auxiliary Sends

• 8 Segment Stereo LED Bar VU Meter
