The Notepad-5 is Soundcraft's smallest analog mixer, with five channels and a built-in stereo USB audio interface. It gives you one mic/line combo input with 48V phantom power, a Hi-Z guitar input, a stereo line pair and an RCA input, plus USB playback returned to channels 4 and 5. It is bus-powered over USB, so no separate power supply is needed. It suits a single mic or guitar going into a computer for podcasts, streams and simple recordings; it has no onboard effects and no aux send, which is where the Notepad-8FX and 12FX step up.

Owners of the Notepad series describe it as a straightforward, quiet little mixer that does one job well. Most praise the simple layout and the USB interface; the common complaint is that the small model runs out of inputs and effects quickly.
The Soundcraft Notepad-5 is a 5-channel compact analog mixer with a built-in stereo USB audio interface. It is designed for basic home studio recording, podcasting, streaming and small-scale mixing.
It connects to a Mac or PC over USB and is bus-powered, so it draws power from the computer and needs no separate power supply. The signal path is direct. There are no onboard effects and no auxiliary output.
Inputs include one XLR/TRS combo input for a microphone or line-level source, one Hi-Z 1/4" input for guitar or bass, and one stereo 1/4" line input pair. An RCA stereo input takes consumer playback devices. USB audio return goes to channels 4 and 5, which brings computer playback into the mix. 48V phantom power is available on the XLR-compatible input for condenser microphones, and the master section has basic LED level monitoring.
