Whirlwind MIPAI Media Input Active Wall Plate - Black

The Whirlwind MIPAI Media Input Active Wall Plate is purpose-built for permanent audio installations where flexibility and clean signal routing matter. Designed for environments like gymnasiums, banquet halls, conference rooms, and houses of worship, it accepts both a microphone-level and a line-level source, combining them into a single balanced output. This means a presenter can plug in a wired microphone while a laptop or media player connects via the line input, and both signals travel down one cable run to the main sound system. The built-in mic preamp offers up to 60dB of gain, providing enough headroom for dynamic microphones without requiring an external preamp at the wall location.

Separate level controls for each input give installers and end users the ability to balance sources right at the plate, reducing the need to make adjustments at the main mixer for routine use. The bass cut switch is a practical addition for installed environments, allowing operators to roll off low-frequency rumble from HVAC systems or handling noise. The standard 1-gang black faceplate blends into professional environments and mounts in any standard electrical box, keeping the installation clean and unobtrusive. For AV integrators looking for a reliable, all-in-one wall plate solution from a trusted pro audio manufacturer, the MIPAI delivers solid performance in a compact form factor.
