Spirit Introduces Folio Powerpad
July 11, 1997
Folio Powerpad is Spirit's smallest and most affordable powered mixer to
date. Despite its incredibly compact footprint (9.6" W x 9.0" D), the 10-input mixer boasts a highly
professional sound quality and comprehensive list of features.
Featuring four XLR microphone inputs, four mono 1/4-inch inputs and two stereo inputs, the mixer
offers a 2 x 30 watt RMS power amplifier section (into 4W) with overload and thermal protection.
Capable of DAT-quality sound, Powerpad's studio-quality mic preamps accept up to 16dBu of input
level with an impressive gain range of 50 dB. An KIN figure of -128.5 dBu (150W source impedance)
and high RF rejection to EC standards ensure clean, noise-free mixes.
Powerpad can be operated just like a normal unpowered mixer by using its Master Mix Out
sockets, which can be used for recording or for feeding a larger power amplifier. A truly versatile multipurpose powered mixer, Spirit's Folio Powerpad is ideal for everything from small sound
reinforcement setups and conferencing/presentations to multimedia, home studio and A/V use.
Additional features include:
- Two-band EQ on every mono input
- Post-fade Auxiliary Send on every input
- Dedicated Stereo Effects Return
- Global +48V Phantom Power
- Stereo Inputs equipped with switchable RIAA preamps for turntables
- Two-track return for playback of masters
- Peak and Avg. LED meters
