The podMIXai from Whirlwind is an active mixer which lets you combine a dynamic microphone with music from a smartphone, iPad, tablet, MP3 player, and more. The output sums the mix to mono and can be connected to a single line-level input of a sound system for use in gyms, banquet halls, conference rooms, or for paging/announcements over background music.

The podMIXai offers individual volume controls and on/off switches for matching, mixing, and muting the music source and the microphone. The microphone level can be boosted up to 60 dB, while the music level goes up to 20 dB. Red and yellow LEDs help you meter and confirm the output level.

With its small tabletop enclosure and rugged, ergonomic design, the podMIXai is easy to use, transport, and store.

Q: 2. How does it work when phantom power is needed and there are multiple cameras conected ready to provide phantom power?

A: The Whirlwind PB06 Passive Press Box with 1 Line in to 6 Mic out has a line input. It does not take phantom power, or send phantom power and neither do camera. You would connect your condenser mic to a mixer that has phantom power and go from the line out of that mixer into the Whirlwind PB06 Passive Press Box with 1 Line in to 6 Mic out and from the XLR outputs on the Whirlwind PB06 Passive Press Box with 1 Line in to 6 Mic out, you would go into each of your respective cameras, or audio recorders that have XLR line input.

Q: 3. does whirlwind Qbox use for call transmission?

Q: 4. Can you have two stereo devices connected to this at the same time? We would only pass signal to one stereo input at a time.

A: The Whirlwind pcDI Stereo Line Interface (BH # WHPCDI) is a two-channel stereo device only. But it features a "STEREO / MONO" switch to combine stereo sources into a mono signal and a “20dB PAD” switch for connecting to "hot" signal sources. Separate ground lift switches for each output help eliminate hum and buzz.

Q: 5. Is the "direct out" before or after any trim/gain adjustment? Looking to boost 8 mic signals to 8 line level. Will this do it?

Q: 8. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS AND/OR PART NUMBERS FOR THE Q/BOX ?

A: Unfortunately when I broke mine in the past I've had to buy a new one as all the parts inside are pretty well sealed up. I crushed the link toggle switches into the unit and my engineer was unable to take the circuitboard out because the front facing XLR's are attached to the face. All in all, not very user-friendly.

Q: 9. will this be good for video recording, i.e. piano music?

A: The MX153 does feature 2 mic inputs however is designed primarily for permanent installation in paging applications.

Q: 10. As far as I can tell, there is no master volume for the headphone output. There are only individual controls for mic, instrument/line, and monitor/mix inputs. Is that correct?

A: That is correct - the ART MyMonitorII Personal Monitoring Solution Mic/Line Mixer does not have a single, dedicated master volume control for its headphone output. Instead, the MyMonitorII offers four dedicated level adjustments (Mic, Inst/Line, Stereo Monitor Left, Stereo Monitor Right) which allow the user to create a custom blend of the inputs used on the mixer and which all contribute to the headphone output level, which can achieve a maximum output of +12dBu.
