Studiomaster C2-4 8-Input Compact Analogue Mixer The Studiomaster C2-4 is an ultra-compact analogue mixer designed for live sound, basic recording, location audio, monitoring, pres entations, home studios, rehearsal rooms and small PA systems. It offers more microphone capacity than the C2-2 while keeping the same simple, lightweight C2 Series format. With 8 inputs, 4 mic inputs and 2 stereo input channels, the C2-4 is a practical choice for users who need to connect several microphones alongside stereo playback devices, keyboards, laptops or media players. Studiomaster describes the C2 Series as an ultra-compact mixer range with features usually found on larger consoles, including 2-band EQ on all channels, auxiliary output, pan/balance control, input gain and level controls. The C2-4 is especially useful for small live performances, presentations, education, podcast-style routing with external recording gear, keyboard submixing, rehearsal rooms and compact installation audio. It keeps the workflow simple, while still offering stereo outputs, RCA playback/record connections, bargraph metering and headphone monitoring. Why Choose The Studiomaster C2-4? 4 Microphone Inputs In A Compact Format The C2-4 gives you 4 mic inputs, making it more flexible than the C2-2 for users who need extra microphones. This is useful for small vocal groups, panel discussions, presentations, acoustic acts, rehearsal rooms and compact live sound setups. 8-Input Mixing Flexibility With 4 mic inputs and 2 stereo input channels, the C2-4 gives you enough room for microphones, instruments, keyboards, laptops, media players and playback devices. It is compact, but still practical for real-world audio setups. 2-Band EQ On All Channels Every channel includes 2-band EQ, giving you simple tone control over vocals, instruments and playback sources. This helps you add brightness, reduce muddiness or shape the sound before sending it to speakers or recording equipment. Auxiliary Output For External Effects The auxiliary output allows connection to external effects processors or additional routing destinations. This gives the C2-4 more flexibility than a basic mini mixer, especially for small live sound or recording setups. Stereo Outputs & Monitoring The C2-4 includes stereo output on 1/4" jack connections, RCA playback/record connectivity, bargraph metering and headphone output. This makes it easy to connect to powered speakers, recorders, monitoring systems or a compact PA setup. Simple Hands-On Operation With input gain, level controls and pan/balance control, the C2-4 keeps operation straightforward. It is ideal for users who want physical mixer control without menus, screens, apps or complicated routing. Ultra-Compact Moulded Case The C2 Series is built into a compact moulded case, making the C2-4 easy to place on a desk, carry between setups or fit into small performance, education and recording spaces. Why Choose A Compact Mixer With 4 Mic Inputs? A compact mixer with 4 mic inputs is ideal when a smaller two-mic mixer is too limiting, but you do not need a full-size mixing desk. It gives you enough microphone capacity for small groups, interviews, classroom setups, acoustic performances, presentations and simple PA systems. For performers, this can mean vocals, acoustic instruments and backing tracks through one mixer. For presenters and corporate users, it gives practical control over multiple speakers and playback audio. For home recording or location work, it gives you a simple way to manage several signals before sending them to speakers, recorders or an audio interface. The Studiomaster C2-4 is especially useful if you want a small, affordable analogue mixer with extra mic inputs, EQ, aux output and monitoring, but do not need USB audio, Bluetooth or onboard effects. Who Is It For? Beginners A great first mixer for users who need something compact but want more than two microphone inputs. It is easy to understand and suitable for small PA systems, home recording, practice rooms, presentations and basic live sound. Intermediate Users Ideal for solo performers, duos, small acoustic groups, educators, presenters, keyboard players, podcasters using external recording gear, rehearsal rooms and compact line/mic mixing setups. Advanced & Professional Users Useful as a small utility mixer, keyboard submixer, location mixer, monitoring mixer, backup desk, corporate audio mixer or compact installation mixer.
