Radio Design Labs RU-MX5ML 5-input Mic Line Mixer

Product Description

The RADIO DESIGN LABS RU-MX5ML is a 5-input microphone and line-level mixer with built-in phantom power, designed for professional audio signal management in installed sound and broadcast applications. It accepts both microphone-level and line-level sources across all five inputs, making it a flexible solution for mixing multiple audio feeds into a single output. Phantom power support allows direct connection of condenser microphones without an external power supply. This unit is typically installed by audio systems integrators, AV technicians, and broadcast engineers working in permanent or semi-permanent installations.

The RU-MX5ML is suited for rack-mounted AV systems, broadcast facilities, conference rooms, houses of worship, and similar installed audio environments. Its ability to handle both mic and line inputs on the same chassis reduces the need for external preamps or additional signal conversion hardware. The unit ships as a single piece and is intended for integration into structured AV signal chains where consistent, low-noise mixing is required.

Key Features

• 5 discrete input channels accepting both microphone and line-level signals
• Built-in phantom power for condenser microphone compatibility
• Compact form factor suitable for rack-mounted installation environments
• Single-unit quantity per package, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style installed-sound mixer compatible with standard rack-mount AV signal chain configurations requiring mic and line input mixing with phantom power support.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed AV systems integrators or broadcast technicians familiar with low-voltage audio signal routing. Power down the host rack or system before making input and output connections. Verify phantom power requirements of connected microphones before enabling phantom power to avoid damage to dynamic microphones or passive devices. Consult applicable local AV installation codes and manufacturer documentation for proper grounding and signal-level alignment.
