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.
