Proel DIGIPAD 8

Posted on by

When we talk about digital mixers, we usually imagine bulky consoles or rack units that require a separate tablet to operate effectively. Proel is shaking up the “compact” category with the DIGIPAD 8, an 8-channel digital mixer that squeezes motorized faders, a touchscreen, and full wireless control into a footprint smaller than a laptop.

Overview

The Proel DIGIPAD 8 is designed for the modern hybrid workflow—bridging the gap between a live performance mixer and a studio audio interface. It is surprisingly robust for its size, featuring a metal chassis and high-quality motorized faders that are rare at this price point.

Whether you are a solo musician needing a reliable in-ear monitor mix, a podcaster looking for professional routing, or a venue installer needing a discreet sound solution, the DIGIPAD 8 seems ready to handle it. It operates as a standalone unit with its onboard 3-inch touchscreen or can be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi using apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and MacOS.
