Alesis MultiMix 8 USB FX | 8-Channel Mixer with Effects & USB Audio Interface

Description

Alesis’ MultiMix 8 USB FX—with built-in effects—doubles as a computer recording interface, so you can mix, record, or do both at the same time.

Whether you’re mixing a band or sub-mixing a group of inputs, such as a drumset, the MultiMix 8 USB FX is easy to use, rugged, and packed with features.

The MultiMix 8 USB FX delivers clean audio to your PA or recording system plus hassle-free computer connection. It offers microphone inputs with phantom power, guitar-direct inputs, and line-level inputs for connecting everything else. The mixer comes with a wide range of effects, and includes the Cubase LE music production system software to get you started.

This compact mixer features four XLR inputs with independent gain pots on channels one through four. These XLR inputs also have a switchable phantom power option to accommodate both dynamic and condenser microphones. TRS Line inputs are also available on all eight channels of MultiMix 8 USB FX. New to the MultiMix 8 USB FX is a high-impedance input on channel two, which allows direct connection of a guitar or bass; this is a great convenience for singer/songwriters looking to get a clean, “hot” signal. A Tape RCA stereo input is also included adding the ability to mix in audio from other sources such as a CD or LP player.

MultiMix 8 USB FX includes an internal effects processor to quickly and easily add new colors to your mix. Reverb, Delay or Phaser can be dialed up simply by adjusting the pre or post fader knobs located within each channel strip. MultiMix 8 USB FX also contains Aux Out and stereo Returns, as well as, Insert jacks on channels one and two to allow for audio to be processed by external effects engines. MultiMix 8 USB FX gives you an impressive amount of routing options in such a compact size.

Like the other mixers in Alesis’ MultiMix USB series, including the MultiMix 4 USB and MultiMix 6 USB, the MultiMix 8 USB FX contains a complete USB recording interface.
