MultiMix 8 USB FX.



It’s amazing how far home recording has progressed in recent years. Today, you can write, record and master a full-length record in your bedroom with impressive results. Aside from sustaining the inspiration and drive to document your musical ideas, finding the right tools to assist in this endeavor can be quite a challenge as well. Ideally, you want to find the right balance of features, functionality and affordability. At Alesis, we create recording gear with all of these these considerations in mind. A perfect example of our commitment to value can be made than with the new MultiMix 8 USB FX.


LEGACY
MultiMix 8 USB FX is the latest addition to the popular MultiMix USB series of mixers. These innovative mixers are really two products in one, a traditional analog mixer and digital audio interface for computer recording. What’s more, MultiMix 8 USB FX gives you on-board effects to apply ambiance and space to your sound on stage or in the studio. Furthermore, with a guitar input, phantom power on 4 mic pres, insert jacks and sweep-able mid range EQ, the MultiMix 8 USB FX is easily the most feature-rich, small-format audio-interface mixer available. 


INPUTS
MultiMix 8 USB FX accommodates all types of audio sources with its array of different input options. For starters, up to four microphones can be inserted with the XLR inputs on channels one through four. Condenser microphones can also be used when engaging the phantom power switch located on the MultiMix 8 USB FX’s back panel. Each of the microphone inputs also have independent, adjustable gain-pots to get healthy, “hot” signals from the source, while low-cut buttons can quickly eliminate low frequencies that easily muddle the mix. Line inputs can be found on all eight channels. Channels five-six and seven-eight have been stereo-paired to maintain portability while letting you easily mix common stereo sources, such as keyboards, drum machines and samplers. New to MultiMix 8 USB FX is a guitar input switch on channel two. This option gives a quick and convenient method for guitars and basses to plug-in to MultiMix 8 USB FX without the need for a DI box. A stereo RCA input even lets you connect a cd player, turntable or even another mixer straight to the master output.
