Harbinger’s new LvL Series of compact mixers are available in multiple channel configurations and are being marketed as “affordable.” Offered in 12-, 8-, and 5-channel configurations, LvL Series mixers are equipped with what they are calling “professional grade,” studio quality pre-amps and features include integrated LvL Series EQ, Input/Peak indicator LEDs on every channel and a five-segment LED main mix meter. All models feature switchable phantom power for condenser mics, convenient headphone outputs, and RCA inputs for easy connection to computers or external recorders, as well as a robust AC power supply. Plus, all mixers are housed in a rugged, all-metal chassis.

LvL Series mixers are designed for compact and portable applications, including rehearsals and small to mid-sized combos. Small broadcasters and podcasters will likely appreciate the LvL Series for voiceovers, interviews and webcasts.

LvL Series mixers include the 12-Channel L1202FX, 8-Channel L802 and 5-Channel L502 models. The most compact of the series, the L502, features five inputs including XLR mic preamp and dual 1/4-inch stereo inputs, along with 2-band LvL Series EQ and assignable Tape In routing. The mid-sized L802 offers dual XLR mic preamps and two dual 1/4-inch stereo inputs with +4/-10dB sensitivity selection, 3-Band LvL Series EQ, as well as unexpected features like assignable Tape In routing, separate Main and Control Room outputs, and a dedicated Aux Send/Return. The flagship L1202FX model packs even more features into its compact footprint, including four XLR mic preamps with 1/4-inch TRS balanced/ unbalanced line inputs, four more 1/4-inch balanced/unbalanced stereo inputs with +4/-10dB sensitivity selection, four channels of 3-Band LvL Series EQ, 75Hz high-pass filters on each mic input, dedicated Aux Send/Return, on-board digital FX including tap tempo delay and a full-sized master fader.
