Alesis, a leading manufacturer of professional audio equipment, has announced that a new USB mixer is now shipping to retailers.
The MultiMix 6 USB is a six-channel desktop mixer designed for easy integration into a computer-based recording environment.
This compact mixer is perfect for use in recording setups as it outputs not only line-level analog audio, but also stereo 16-bit, 44.1 kHz digital audio over USB.
Users can plug XLR microphones into channels one and two, including condensers, thanks to the mixer's switchable phantom power supply.
They can also plug a guitar or bass directly into channel one's switchable high-impedance input.
Channels one and two offer switchable high-pass filtering at 75Hz to eliminate low-frequency rumble, handling and wind noise.
Each channel has an independent pan control and channels one through four provide high and low-shelving EQs.
Channels one and two have independent gain trims, while channels three/four and five/six are configured as stereo pairs at the level and pan controls.
The MultiMix 6 USB has a two-channel, five-stage, multicolor LED meter for visual monitoring the main output level.
"The MultiMix 6 USB is compact yet fully featured for mixing up to six sources," said Adam Cohen, Director of Business Development, Alesis.
The MultiMix 6 USB will be available from Gear4music.com by the end of March at an estimated price of £99.00.
