The JK Audio RM4 RemoteMix4 is a portable, professional audio mixer specifically engineered for broadcasters, podcasters, and journalists conducting remote interviews, field reports, and live call-in shows. Its defining feature is the integration of a high-quality telephone hybrid circuit, allowing the user to connect a standard analog telephone line (via an RJ11 jack) and seamlessly blend the caller's audio with local microphone and other line-level sources. This all-in-one design consolidates equipment that would typically require separate units—a mixer, a telephone hybrid, and a headphone amplifier—into a single, ruggedized portable device. This makes it an indispensable tool for creating professional-quality audio in remote locations, from a home studio to a hotel room, ensuring clear, balanced communication between the host, any guests in the room, and callers on the telephone line.

The mixer section provides flexible input options, typically including multiple balanced microphone inputs with phantom power for condenser mics, and stereo line-level inputs for music, sound effects, or playback from a computer or portable device. The integrated telephone hybrid is not a simple coupler; it is a fully balanced, transformer-isolated circuit that provides excellent rejection of echo and hum, allowing the caller's voice to be heard clearly on the program mix while preventing the program audio from feeding back into the telephone line. The user can independently control the volume of the telephone caller, local microphones, and auxiliary sources, and mix them down to a stereo or mono program output. A dedicated, powerful headphone amplifier with a cue/pre-fade listen function is also included, enabling the operator to monitor the mix or check individual sources privately.

Constructed with a durable metal chassis and built to withstand the rigors of travel, the RM4 is designed for both reliability and operational simplicity. It can be powered via an external AC adapter or by batteries, offering true portability for completely remote operation. Control layout is intuitive, with dedicated knobs and switches for immediate adjustment without menu diving, which is critical during live broadcasts. Outputs are provided in both professional XLR balanced and consumer RCA unbalanced formats for maximum compatibility with recording devices, broadcast codecs, or computer audio interfaces. By providing broadcasters with a compact, integrated solution for managing complex audio mix requirements involving telephone callers, the JK Audio RM4 RemoteMix4 empowers professionals to produce high-fidelity remote broadcasts with the audio clarity and production value of a fixed studio, from virtually any location.
