About the Multimix USB

The Multimix USB consoles are a versatile series of mixers
designed to perform well in the live and home studio realm. They
are the latest in the large family of Alesis audio mixers. We've
come a long way since introducing our first mixing console in
1989. Since that time audio technology has grown in leaps and
bounds, pushing up quality and driving down prices. Only a few
years ago, you wouldn't have been able to buy a mixer this
powerful for such an affordable price. Just take a look at the key
features listed below, and you'll see that you have just made an
incredible addition to your home studio or live setup.
The Multimix USB consoles give you just about everything you
need to create polished, professional-sounding mixes. When
designing this unit, our goal was to give you as much control over
your mixes as possible without requiring a wealth of extra
equipment. That's why we added tools like the digital effects
processor, the mic preamps, the USB computer interface, and the
digital out (12- and 16-channel models only). And with a multitude
of ways in which to connect other equipment and instruments, the
Multimix USB offers endless possibilities.
