The Ultimate Portable Mixer for Production, ENG, and Film The 442N is identical in every way to the 442 mixer, with the exception of its metering scale. The 442N references a Nordic scale PPM meter for compatibility with Nordic scale gain structures. This meter scale shows additional resolution between -10 dBu and +4 dBu. The 442N incorporates a complete feature-set into a compact, functional design. All controls are accessible on its three main surfaces; no hidden controls. The high-efficiency power circuitry runs the mixer from either four internal AA batteries or external 5-18 VDC. The 442 and 442N, like all Sound Devices professional audio products, are designed to withstand the physical and environmental extremes of field production. Its compact mechanic construction strikes the perfect balance between access to all functions, uncluttered design, and durability. 442N Features Lundahl transformer-balanced mic or line-level inputs on XLR connectors Transformer-balanced line/tape/mic level output on XLR connectors Continuously adjustable input trim Variable high-pass filter Continuously variable pan control Phantom (48-volt or 15-volt) or "T" microphone powering selected per channel Solo (PFL) channel monitoring in headphones Peak limiters per channel Direct outputs on TA3 locking connectors Transformer-balanced line/tape/mic level output on Hirose connector Balanced line or tape level output on TA3 locking connectors Un-balanced TRS-stereo tape level output on 1/8-inch connector Un-balanced TS-mono mic level output on 1/8-inch connector Sunlight-viewable LED meters with proprietary software-selected ballistics On-board MS stereo matrix, channels 1 and 2 Two independent monitor return inputs for monitoring two-camera productions Push pots for setup features keep front panel clutter-free Compact 6061 aluminum chassis Powered by four AA batteries or external 5 - 18 VDC
