MIX THE WHOLE BAND, ADD EFFECTS, AND INTERFACE
WITH YOUR MAC OR PC
The MultiMix 16 USB FX is a live and recording mixer with built-in effects that doubles
as a computer recording interface so you can mix, record, or do both at the same time.
Whether you are mixing a band or sub-mixing a group of inputs such as a drumset,
the MultiMix 16 USB FX is easy to use, rugged, and packed with features. Offering
microphone inputs with phantom power, guitar-direct inputs, and line-level inputs for
connecting everything else, plus a selection of stage-ready effects, the MultiMix 16 USB
FX delivers clean audio to your PA and recording systems.
COMPLETE INPUTS
The MultiMix 16 USB FX features eight XLR inputs with independent gain faders. These
XLR inputs also have a switchable phantom power option to accommodate both dynamic
and condenser microphones. 1/4” line inputs are also available on all 16 channels. A
high-impedance input on channel two enables direct connection of a guitar or bass – 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.
POWERFUL PROCESSING
Each channel features multi-band EQs, with channels one through four featuring
sweepable, parametric midrange control for perfectly tailoring the sound of microphones.
The MultiMix 16 USB FX includes an internal effects processor to quickly and easily add
new colors to your mix. Reverb, Delay or Phaser can be dialed up simply by adjusting the
pre or post-fader knobs located within each channel strip. The MultiMix 16 USB FX also
contains Aux Out and stereo Returns, as well as Insert jacks on channels one through
four to allow for audio to be processed by external effects engines.
RECORDING INTERFACE
Like the other mixers in Alesis’ MultiMix USB series, the MultiMix 16 USB FX contains a
complete USB recording interface. Musicians and engineers can plug the MultiMix 16
USB FX’s class-compliant USB connection into their Mac or PC without installing any
software drivers and enjoy a digital-direct stereo connection with virtually any audio
software application. The MultiMix 16 USB FX enables bidirectional stereo signal, so
musicians can record the stereo Main output into their computer and listen back using
the mixer as an interface from software to headphones and monitoring loudspeakers.
Part of the latest generation of MultiMix mixers, the MultiMix 16 USB FX includes
removable endcaps, which can be helpful for squeezing the MultiMix 16 USB FX into
smaller spaces in tightly packed setups. In addition to its improved signal-to-noise ratio
specications, the mixer consumes 36% less power than its predecessor for reliability
and energy efciency.
Mix the whole band with the MultiMix 16 USB FX.
