Tascam - Mixcast 4
Podcasting station incorporating a multitrack recorder, a 4-mic input mixing console with auto-mix, 4 headphone outputs and a USB audio interface. Allows you to mix and record microphone inputs with background music, sound effects and jingles played internally and triggered by pads, and with an external audio input signal from your phone, PC or Bluetooth device.
Presentation
Equipped with four microphone inputs and four independent headphone outputs, the Mixcast 4 console is always ready to produce podcasts, without complicated settings. It provides all the audio and workflow operations required for live streaming, events, podcasts and other applications. The auto-mix function, for example, automatically adjusts audio levels to the optimum level and sets microphone priority for a perfect mix.
And thanks to the 5-inch (127 mm) diagonal colour touchscreen, you have intuitive access to well-structured menus, enabling you to make the settings you want with just a few simple manipulations.
