Overview

The Soundcraft Notepad-12FX Mixer Recording Bundle is designed to get a full multi-person recording setup running with a single purchase. At the heart of the package is the Soundcraft Notepad-12FX, a 12-channel analog mixer that carries the Soundcraft name — a brand with decades of professional audio heritage. It features 4 mic/line combo inputs with dedicated gain controls, 2 stereo line inputs with trim, RCA inputs, and an external FX return, giving you flexible routing for a variety of audio sources. The built-in Lexicon digital effects processor adds studio-quality reverb, chorus, and delay directly within the mixer, reducing the need for external effects units. A USB audio interface is integrated for straightforward recording and playback with your computer.

The bundle rounds out the setup with four Rockville RCM02 condenser microphones (each with metal shock mounts and anti-wind foam caps), four Samson MBA18 boom arms with desk clamps for clean desktop mounting, and four Rockville PRO-M50 studio headphones with detachable cables and carrying cases. A Rockville RHPA4 4-channel headphone amplifier ensures each participant can monitor independently with their own volume control, and a 6-foot TRS balanced cable is included for connectivity. This package is particularly well-suited for podcast teams, band rehearsal recording, home studios, or small production environments where outfitting multiple positions from scratch would otherwise require sourcing many individual components.
