Roland Go:Mixer Pro-X: A Portable Audio Mixer for Mobile Devices

Roland’s Go:Mixer Pro-X is a compact audio mixer designed for seamless integration with smartphones and tablets. Building on the success of previous Go:Mixer models, the Pro-X boasts a sleek, updated black finish. This versatile device caters to a wide range of users, including musicians, streamers, podcasters, and video producers using Android and iOS devices.

Enhanced Connectivity and Multi-Channel Mixing

The Go:Mixer Pro-X expands on its predecessors’ connectivity options. It features a dedicated guitar/bass input with a pad switch for instruments with active pickups, as well as the ability to use a headset or inline microphone as an input. With 11 input channels and three output channels, this mixer offers considerable flexibility for multi-channel recording and monitoring. The device is available in both black and white.

Multiple Audio Inputs and Loopback Function

This portable mixer allows for simultaneous recording from seven audio sources: an XLR input with phantom power, a guitar/bass input, two quarter-inch instrument inputs, two stereo line inputs, and the headphone microphone input. A key feature is the Loop Back function, which enables the incorporation of audio from a connected mobile device into your mix.

Easy Mobile Device Connection and Power Options

Connecting to mobile devices is straightforward via a USB Micro-B port. Conveniently, adapters for Lightning and USB-C ports are included in the package, along with TRRS jack cables. Powering the mixer is simple—it can run on four AAA batteries or through a computer’s USB Micro-B port.

Versatile Functionality

The manufacturer highlights the Go:Mixer Pro-X’s effectiveness as an audio interface for music software like Roland’s Zenbeats or GarageBand. Moreover, its functionality extends beyond software integration; it can function as a stand-alone mixer for practice and performance use.

The Roland Go:MIXER Pro-X will retail at $150 upon its August 2021 launch.
