1 Product Introduction
1.1 General Introductions
The SARAMONIC SR-PAX2 is a two-channel active audio mixer with preamplifier and
phantom power, specially designed for mirrorless digital camera, Blackmagic Design
pocket cinema camera and DSLR camera with a microphone jack. It is a compact and
lightweight mixer ideal for recording professional-quality audio from two sources and
mixing them into your camera. It attaches to the base of a camera, and a threaded
socket on its base allows for mounting on a tripod or case.
With two sets of inputs, the SR-PAX2 accepts signals from a wide variety of mic or line
level sources such as balanced XLR microphones, 3.5mm microphones, wireless
microphones and external audio mixers. The 3.5mm inputs are also ideal for connecting
audio devices with a 3.5mm output such as a smart phone or an MP3 player. The input
levels of each channel can be easily controlled with the dual gain control knobs. The
cold shoe on the side gives you space to mount and move other equipment. A phone
jack allows you to monitor the audio in real time. The SR-PAX2 makes your recording
work much easier.
