    Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Professional Sound Corporation Solice Mini Portable Audio Mixer. The Solice Mini is the result of our desire to provide you with a comprehensive, yet simple to use portable mixer. The idea for developing this mixer came from Mr. Pascal Van Strydonck who volunteered many hours of his time outlining the need for a small, compact and flexible mixer.

    High Pass Filters Each input channel of the Solice Mini mixer is equipped with a 3-way switchable high pass filter (low frequency roll off). The filters are very useful for eliminating wind rumble and air conditioning noise. As a general rule, you should only use as much low frequency roll off as needed to get a good recording.

    The Mixer’s headphone monitoring section allows the use of tape returns. These “Tape Return Audio Inputs” are contained on the TB3M “Returns” connector on the rear panel of the Solice Mini mixer. There are two tape returns “Left” and “Right”. These tape returns allow the operator to monitor “Tape” confidence (an old, outdated, but still used term for recording verification) to insure that audio is actually being recorded.

    the operator desires to check the tape inputs, he or she simply switches the headphone select rotary switch to “Return” and your headphones are automatically switched to monitor the tape return inputs. If you are not using any form of tape monitoring, you can also use this input to be able to monitor an iPod or other similar audio source for your convenience.
