Multimix 16 Firewire - Alesis 12, 16 Reference Manual

Multichannel Firewire (IEEE 1394a) input and output
– routes each individual channel's output, plus the MAIN
outputs, through the FIREWIRE port, and receives two
channels back from the computer, all in 24-bit, 44.1/48
kHz digital audio.
ASIO and WDM computer drivers – lets you use the
MultiMix FireWire with the vast majority of digital audio
workstation programs.
Clean and powerful preamps – up to 50dB of preamp
gain for capturing quiet sources. Globally switched
phantom power.
Stereo inputs – Two stereo pairs for the MultiMix 8
FireWire. Four stereo pairs for the 12- and 16-channel
versions. Great for line-level instruments.
Internal digital effects processor with 100 preset
effects and an easy-to-read display – includes a variety
of reverbs, delays, choruses, flanges, a pitch transposer and
multiple combinations of these.
3-band EQ per channel – a potent tool for sonically
shaping each channel to get that perfect mix.
2 aux sends per channel – one can be used to access an
external effects device; the other can be used either to
access the MultiMix's internal effects or to access a second
external device. On the 12-channel and 16-channel
MultiMix FireWires, the first aux send can be switched
between either pre- or post-fader operation.
Control room output level – provides control over the
separate control room output.
2-track send and return – lets you mix your audio to tape
or other media and to add a tape deck or CD player to the
mix.
Additional Features of the MultiMix 12
FireWire and MultiMix 16 FireWire
PFL/Solo in place functionality per channel – isolates a
channel with a single push of a button.
Mute/Alt 3/4 assign per channel – lets you mute a
channel and, at the same time, route its signal to the mixer's
ALT 3/4 output—a separate stereo bus.
Independent Main Mix and Alt 3/4 levels – permits you
to separately command the levels of the MultiMix's two
stereo buses
S/PDIF digital out – sends the 24-bit, digital stereo signal
directly to a DAT, DVD or other recording device that can
accept a S/PDIF signal.
