This is a great feature if you\u2019re recording a radio interview with 2 people because you can both have a pair of headphones plugged in. A lot of interfaces at this price point don\u2019t provide 2 jack inputs, so this is a real plus! Bear in mind that the volume knob for the headphones will affect <strong>both<\/strong> pairs of headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3\/ Other Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Effects<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28872 lazyload\" width=\"335\" height=\"242\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect.png 670w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-640x461.png 640w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-500x360.png 500w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-400x288.png 400w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-200x144.png 200w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-50x36.png 50w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 335px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 335\/242;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28872\" width=\"335\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect.png 670w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-640x461.png 640w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-500x360.png 500w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-400x288.png 400w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-200x144.png 200w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/effect-50x36.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s rare for an audio mixer of this size to have any effects on it, but here we have a delay effect that will essentially <strong>add an echo to your voice.<\/strong> This feature may not be useful to everyone, but as a radio host, it could be fun to play around with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The delay knob allows you to adjust the intensity of the effect, allowing you to make the echo longer or shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The level knob impacts the loudness of the effect. You can also easily cut off the delay with the mute button. Bear in mind that this only has an impact on channel 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>USB playback<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve recorded something and want to listen back to it, you can use this knob to easily control the level of that playback. This can come in handy for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/live-radio-mistakes-to-avoid-on-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">live radio<\/a> broadcasting and podcasting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mic to channel 1<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the second headphone jack, you\u2019ll find a Mic to Channel 1 input. If you choose to use this input, it will be controlled with the same knobs as channel 1. Essentially, it will be on the same input at the XLR microphone channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4\/ Overall thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, we were really impressed with this little mixing desk! It has all the tools you need to make you sound really good, whether it\u2019s for audio recording or live broadcasting. The sound card that is built into the mixer is incredible and you get a really clean signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The build quality is solid for equipment at this price point, and the fact that it has 2 headphone jacks is a really nice touch. Plus, it\u2019s incredibly simple to set up with the USB connecting directly to your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff4757\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Phenyx Pro Dynamic Microphone<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned above, the PTX-10B bundle comes with a <strong>dynamic microphone<\/strong>. It\u2019s a good entry-level microphone if you\u2019re just getting started in radio or podcasting. Being able to play around with the EQs directly on the mixer can help your voice sound really good with this mic. Plus, it comes with an XLR cable which we appreciate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"650\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30449 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-640x325.png 640w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-1240x630.png 1240w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-860x437.png 860w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-680x345.png 680w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-500x254.png 500w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-400x203.png 400w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-50x25.png 50w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/650;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-640x325.png 640w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-1240x630.png 1240w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-860x437.png 860w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-680x345.png 680w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-500x254.png 500w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-400x203.png 400w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Actualite\u0301s-2-50x25.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We would have loved for it to come with a small desktop stand, just to be able to set it up and not have any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/reduce-parasite-sounds-microphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">parasite noises<\/a> made by touching the microphone when broadcasting or recording.
