Alesis has announced MultiMix 4 USB, a four-channel desktop mixer with USB output. Jim Norman, Product Manager, Alesis, told us, "The MultiMix 4 USB is the perfect mixer for anyone who needs to get a couple of audio sources mixed and into their audio- or video-recording software.
Here's all the details from Alesis...
The MultiMix 4 USB is a four-channel desktop mixer designed to be easily integrated into a computer based editing environment. This compact mixer is perfect for use in basic computer-recording setups, video editing and production studios, and portable podcasting setups as it outputs not only line-level analog audio, but also stereo 16-bit, 44.1 kHz digital audio over USB for low-noise, easy computer connection.
The MultiMix 4 USB mixer has four input channels, all of which can accept a 1/4" line input. Users can plug XLR microphones into channels one and two, including condensers, thanks to the mixer's switchable 48V-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 and two provide high and low-shelving EQs. Channels one and two have independent gain trims, while channels three and four are configured as a stereo pair at the level and pan controls.
The MultiMix 4 USB has a two-channel, five stage, multicolor LED meter for visual monitoring the main output level. A stereo, 1/4" headphone output has its own level control.
