Description The Alesis MultiMix 8 USB FX is a compact 8-channel mixer offering versatile I/O and built-in digital effects, making it well suited for live sound reinforcement and music/podcast recording. It features four mono channels with 3-band EQ, selectable high-pass filters, and peak LEDs, plus two stereo channels with 2-band EQ. The mono channels can be fed via XLR mic inputs with globally selectable phantom power or via 1/4″ line inputs—the second channel incorporates a switch to accommodate a Hi-Z instrument. Independent aux send knobs allow you to send any channel to your favorite outboard time-based processor or to the built-in effects processor, which provides a variety of reverb, delay, and modulation effects.Connect a media player to the RCA inputs, and plug the RCA outputs to an external audio recorder. The mixer’s onboard USB audio interface enables direct connectivity with a Mac or Windows computer, should you need to integrate a DAW into your setup. The 1/4″ main, monitor, and headphone outputs have separate level controls enabling convenient routing to multiple monitoring systems. The MultiMix 8 USB FX includes a USB cable and the required power supply.FeaturesCompact 8-channel mixer ideal for live stage applications and home, project, and mobile studiosClass compliant, plug-and-play USB functionality for Mac and Windows computers—no driver installation requiredIntegrated USB interface for computer-based recording and playbackFour mono channels with XLR and 1/4″ inputs, adjustable gain, switchable high-pass filters, and 48V phantom powerLine input 2 can be switched to Hi-Z for direct connection of a guitar or bassTwo stereo line inputs accommodate stereo sources such as keyboards and synthesizers3-band EQ with sweepable mids on channels 1-2, 3-band EQ with fixed mids on channels 3-4, and 2-band EQ on channels 5-8Inserts on channels 1-2 for integration of analog outboard gearBuilt-in DSP provides digital effects such as reverb, delay, and modulationAux send and return jacks for hookup of an external effects processorMain, monitor, and headphone output connectors with independent level controlsPeak and multi-segment LEDs help you avoid clippingIncludes Cubase LE software so you can easily record, edit, and polish your workSpecificationsTotal # Of Inputs8Mic/Line Inputs4 x 3-Pin XLR Mic Inputs (Balanced) 4 x 1/4″ TRS Line Inputs (Balanced) 1 x 1/4″ TRS Line/Hi-Z Input (Balanced/Unbalanced)Stereo Line Inputs4 x 1/4″ TRS Line Inputs (Two Stereo Pairs, Balanced)AUX Sends1 x 1/4″ TS (Unbalanced)AUX Returns2 x 1/4″ TRS (One Stereo Pair, Balanced)Inserts2 x 1/4″ TRS (Unbalanced, Tip = Send, Ring = Return)Main Outputs2 x 1/4″ TRS (One Stereo Pair, Balanced)2-Track I/O2 x RCA Coaxial Inputs (One Stereo Pair, Unbalanced) 2 x RCA Coaxial Outputs (One Stereo Pair, Unbalanced)Monitor Outputs2 x 1/4″ TRS Monitor Outputs (One Stereo Pair, Balanced) 1 x 1/4″ TRS Stereo Headphone Output (Unbalanced)Footswitch Input1 x 1/4″ TRSEQ SectionHigh (All Channels): ±15 dB at 12 kHz Mid (Semi-Parametric, Channels 1-2): ±15 dB at 120 Hz to 4 kHz (Sweepable) Mid (Fixed, Channels 3-4): ±15 dB at 1 kHz Low (All Channels): ±15 dB at 80 HzHigh-Pass Filter80 Hz (Switchable)Channel Level ControlRotary PotentiometersTrim/Gain ControlRotary PotentiometersGain RangeMic/Line Input: -∞ to 20 dB Channel Level: -∞ to 10 dB Aux Send: -∞ to 10 dB Aux Return: -∞ to 10 dB Main/Monitor Level: -∞ to 10 dBPhantom Power48 VDC, Globally SelectableMeteringPeak LEDs on Channels 1-4 Dual 5-Segment Main Output LEDs Power LED Phantom Power LEDUSB Port1 x USB 1.1 Type-BUSB AudioBit Depth: 16-Bit Sample Rate (ADC): 8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz Sample Rate (DAC): 32, 44.1, or 48 kHzMinimum Input LevelMic: -69 dBu Line: -49 dBuNominal Input LevelMic: -19 dBu Line: 1 dBu Aux Return: -16 dBu 2-Track Input: -10 dBVMaximum Input LevelMic: 18 dBu Line: 18 dBu Aux Return: 18 dBu 2-Track Input: 18 dBVNominal Output LevelMain/Monitor/Aux Output: 4 dBu 2-Track Output: -9 dBVMaximum Output LevelMain/Monitor/Aux Output: 18 dBu 2-Track Output: 19 dBVPower Supply18 VAC x 2, 320 mA x 2System RequirementsMac OS X 10.7 or Later Available USB PortWindows 7 or Later Available USB PortDimensions10.3 x 10.8 x 3.3″ / 26.0 x 27.3 x 8.3 cmWeight4.9 lb / 2.2 kgPackaging InfoPackage Weight7 lbBox Dimensions (LxWxH)18.4 x 15.4 x 6.4″
