Digital Audio Mixer Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. A digital audio mixer request starts with the room, the channel plan and the evidence each factory must attach to one named model. Stock, authorization and a finished price are not assumed on this page.
State whether the desk is for front-of-house, monitors, a broadcast booth or an installed rack. Record input count, mix buses, matrix outputs and whether a stage box is in scope. Those fields decide which quotations can sit on the same line.
Continuous power, if a power amplifier is bundled, needs a watt figure, a load in ohms and the test basis the supplier used. Impedance, frequency response in hertz with a decibel tolerance, maximum SPL with distance and weighting, and coverage angle in degrees stay open until the proposed bill of materials names every box.
Request Factory Quotes Review small audio mixer cards
Public product-family pages, including a professional audio catalog used as a question source, show how system type and processing are described. They do not rate the item a factory will quote. Ask for a current datasheet tied to the manufacturer, model and card set.
| Field | Buyer states | Quotation must bind | Confirmer |
|---|---|---|---|
| System type | Live, installed, broadcast or hybrid, with channel and bus counts | Exact console or mixer model plus included stage box | Proposed supplier |
| Continuous power | Watts into a stated ohm load, or not applicable when the mixer is line level | Amplifier model if bundled, with the published test condition | Proposed supplier |
| Control interface | Surface, tablet, or external software the operator will use | Protocol, license and whether software is included | Buyer engineering plus supplier |
| Input voltage | Volts, hertz and phase available at the rack | Power-supply rating and plug or terminal form | Site facilities plus supplier |
| Factory acceptance test | Which checks happen before shipment | Written method, witness option and deviation sheet | Buyer quality plus supplier |
Frequency response, maximum SPL and coverage angle belong on loudspeaker lines when the package includes them. A mixer quote without loudspeakers should mark those fields excluded rather than copy a headline rating from another product family.
The figures below are blank fields with the unit a supplier answer should use. They are not ratings published by this desk.
| Field | Unit the quotation should fill |
|---|---|
| Rated power, if an amplifier is bundled | Watts into 8 ohms, with the THD percent and the time window, for example a 1% THD note |
| Frequency response | 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and the tolerance such as ±1.5 dB |
| Maximum SPL | dB at 1 m, with A or C weighting named |
| Coverage angle | Degrees horizontal and vertical, such as 90 by 60, on the loudspeaker line |
| Input voltage | 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, single phase, or the actual site figure |
| Working envelope | Width in mm, for example 483 mm for a 19-inch rack, plus depth |
| Ambient temperature | Operating range in °C, often written from 0 to 40 |
| Noise level | dBA at 1 m from the cooling fan, if a fan exists |
The catalog on this desk stays inside Amplifiers & Mixers. Each row is an inquiry range, not a stocked SKU and not a certified configuration.
Use this row when the brief is a digital audio mixer with scene storage questions, fader count and I/O cards still to be listed. Ask for working envelope in rack units or millimeters, service access behind the rack, and ambient temperature around the power supply.
Open the audio mixer console checklistA smaller frame still needs impedance notes on any bundled amplifier, a spare parts list for faders and power supplies, and a statement of consumables such as lamps or labeled tape if the supplier treats them as included.
Compare small audio mixer configurationsUSB or analog paths are separate quotation lines when they change drivers, connectors or gain structure. Keep them visible so a digital desk quote does not silently drop the interface.
Review usb audio mixer scopeAsk each factory to price the same piece count in one currency. A per-unit figure and a whole-order figure answer different approvals, so the brief should say which one the buyer will compare.
Delivered cost changes when the quote stops at the factory gate. Record the Incoterm, the US destination, and whether freight, insurance and duties are inside the number or listed beside it.
Commissioning scope is either a line with days and who travels, or an exclusion. A mixer that arrives without a startup visit is a different offer from one that includes a technician.
Preventive maintenance kits, spare faders and a spare power supply should be named or marked excluded. An omitted line is not the same as a zero price.
No. Continuous power is comparable after the load, the time window and the ambient temperature are the same. Until then, keep the figures in a deviation column.
Attach the open items in the requirement field: drawings of the rack, a channel list, the US destination, quantity and requested timing. This page cannot receive a file upload. After the desk replies, send drawings by the channel it names.
