Spirit Folio Notepad Mixer

July 12, 1996 -- Spirit announces the introduction of its Folio Notepad, the company's smallest and most affordable Folio mixer yet.

Despite its diminutive size (3.0" H x 9.6" W x 9.0" D), Notepad achieves DAT-quality audio as a result of its surface-mount design and use of components common to larger Spirit consoles. Equipped with high-quality mic preamps capable of accepting up to 16dBu of input level with an impressively low EIN, the compact multimedia mixer boasts high RF rejection for clean, noise-free performance.

A versatile, portable mixer for both live and studio applications, Notepad offers the following features:

Ten inputs as standard
Four mic inputs
Two stereo inputs
Studio-quality mic preamps with 50dB of gain range
Two-band EQ on every mono input
Post-fade auxiliary send on every input
