Thornton Vivid 4 mixer

Thornton Vivid 4 is a 4-channel mixer with built-in sound card, effects, Bluetooth and MP3 player. It is suitable for small audio tasks, while at the same time you get the necessary tools to play music, either wirelessly via Bluetooth, via a USB key or via a computer. In addition, Vivid 4 has a built-in sound card, so that you can use the mixer as a recording mixer (2-track L/R) together with a computer and an associated computer program.

The compact Vivid has 4 channels, where the first 2 channels both have built-in microphone preamplifiers with XLR connectors and line inputs. Channels 1 and 2 also have built-in phantom power, so you can use the Vivid 4 with condenser microphones that require power. Channel 3/4 is a combination channel that you can either use to combine 2 line signals, or that you can use as a stereo channel for keyboard, electric piano or other stereo sound sources. Each channel has its own gain control with overload section, and you get a comprehensive tone control section with both treble, midrange and bass control.

The mixer has a built-in MP3 player, so you can plug a USB plug directly into the mixer and control the music directly from Vivid. You can even connect to an MP3 player via Bluetooth and play music wirelessly via a smartphone or tablet, or you can connect to a computer and play your music from there.

It's hard to make a good sound mix without good effects. Vivid is therefore also equipped with an effects processor with 16 digital effects that you can use to add depth to a vocal or acoustic guitar or to other instruments that would benefit from a boost. If you have an effect of your own that you want to use with the mixer, you can also do this via the mixer's built-in send/return circuit, and the Vivid even has inserts on channels 1 and 2, which is usually something you only get in a long way more expensive mixers.
