8 Channel Mixer with Effects / USB Audio Interface

Desktop Audio, Solved

MultiMix 8 USB FX features four XLR inputs with independent gain pots on channels 1-4. 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. New to the MultiMix 8 USB FX is a high-impedance input on channel 2, 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. Ideal for podcasting, livestreaming, home recording or live use, MultiMix 8 USB FX features onboard volume, pan, and EQ controls (three-band with sweepable parametric mids on channels 1 and 2, three-band on 3 and 4, two-band on 5 – 8) for making quick, accurate adjustments to your mix. The MultiMix 8 USB FX mixer has a two-channel, five-stage, multicolor LED meter for visual monitoring the main output level. Channels 1 - 4 offer switchable high-pass filtering at 80Hz to reduce low-frequency rumble, handling, and wind noise. For convenient stereo mixing and recording, channels 5/6 and 7/8 are configured as a stereo pairs at the EQ, level and pan controls.
