VINTAGE MADE IN JAPAN EXCEL EX-300 MINI MIXER

The Coron EX-300 Six Channel Mini Mixer is a vintage compact analog mixer manufactured in Japan during the late 1970s to early 1980s. Produced by Coron and distributed under several related brand names including Excel and Frontline, the EX-300 was designed as a versatile utility mixer for musicians, small studios, and live setups requiring simple and reliable multi-channel control in a portable form.

The EX-300 features six independent input channels, each equipped with a smooth linear fader for precise level adjustment. This slider-based layout provides intuitive visual feedback, making it easy to balance instruments such as  synthesizers, drum machines,  guitars, or microphones. All six channels are mixed into a single mono output, delivering a clean, well-balanced signal that retains the integrity of the original sources.

Internally, the EX-300 employs a straightforward analog circuit designed for low noise and wide dynamic range. Its clean signal path ensures clarity and minimal distortion, even when multiple inputs are active. Like other Coron-built devices, the EX-300 is known for its solid construction, reliability, and quiet operation, characteristics that made it popular with musicians seeking an uncomplicated, high-quality mini mixer.

Encased in a durable metal housing, the EX-300 was powered by a 9V DC adapter or internal battery, allowing flexible use in both studio and mobile applications. The combination of compact form, fader-based control, and low-noise performance made it ideal for submixing keyboards, combining effects, or managing multiple audio sources in small recording environments.
