One such tool is the Azden FMX-32 Field Mixer. If you are not using a field mixer now, start. They are easy to use and a must in today's video production world. The Azden FMX-32 is an ultra-portable, battery-powered, three-channel solution. It is easy to use with most microphones that feature low-impedance XLR output. The FMX-32 connects to any video camera or audio device that features XLR or mini-jack inputs. Features like an easy-to-read output level meter and switchable limiter and independent monitor gain really come in handy. I can't state strongly enough how important it is to be able to mix each channel of audio during production, and the FMX-32 makes this possible. I guess my only knock on the FMX-32 is that it did not come with a strap or external power supply in the box. Both of these gripes are very minor, I understand, but both of these accessories would have been nice to have when I needed them.
