With its versatile input design, users can mix different audio sources in real-time, ensuring precise control over every element of their sound environment.

Wide Frequency Response and High Gain Range

This audio mixer provides a broad frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz ±0.1dB across microphone, line, and instrument inputs. This ensures accurate and detailed sound reproduction, capturing the full depth and clarity of your audio sources. The BY-AM1 also offers a high gain range of up to 50dB, allowing you to amplify low-level signals without distortion or excessive noise. Whether you’re working with quiet instruments or soft-spoken voices, the mixer ensures your audio remains clear and vibrant, making it a reliable tool in both studio and field environments.

Professional-Grade Sampling Rates

One of the standout features of the BOYA BY-AM1 is its support for professional-grade audio sampling rates ranging from 44.1kHz to 192kHz. This wide sampling range ensures the highest level of audio fidelity, which is especially important for high-end productions and post-processing work. Whether you’re recording dialogue for video content or tracking music instruments, the mixer captures sound with exceptional resolution, maintaining its natural quality and integrity throughout the recording process.

No-Latency Headphone Monitoring

The BY-AM1 features a built-in 6.35mm headphone output for real-time, zero-latency monitoring. This means users can listen to their input signals without delay, which is critical during live recordings or broadcasts. The included 6.35mm to 3.5mm TRRS adapter adds further compatibility for a wider range of headphones. The no-latency monitoring ensures users can make precise adjustments on the fly, detect background noise or signal issues immediately, and maintain overall control over their audio quality throughout a session.

48V Phantom Power for Condenser Mics
