Perfect for home recording or live jamming, this 4-track mixer is ideal for the amateur guitarist. An easy portable recording setup with multi-track mixing for playing, it also features an onboard volume, pan and EQ controls for making quick, accurate adjustments to your mix. Cubase is the software attached to help you edit your tracks and is ideal for desktop recording.

PLUG IT IN
The MultiMix 4 USB FX mixer has four input channels, all of which can accept a 1/4″ line input. You can plug XLR microphones into channels one and two, including condensers thanks to the selectable 48V-phantom power supply. You can also plug a guitar or bass directly into channel one’s switchable high-impedance input. A stereo, 1/4″ headphone output has its own level control for private monitoring.
GET IN THE MIX
The MultiMix 4 USB FX mixer has a two-channel, five-stage, multicolor LED meter for visual monitoring the main output level. Channels 1 and 2 offer switchable high-pass filtering at 75Hz to reduce low-frequency rumble, handling, and wind noise. Channels 1 and 2 provide high- and low-shelving EQs, independent gain trims, and have independent pan controls. For convenient stereo mixing and recording, channels three and four are configured as a stereo pair at the level and pan controls.
RECORD VIA USB
Plug the MultiMix 4 USB FX’s class-compliant USB connection into your Mac or PC without the need for software drivers and enjoy a digital-direct stereo connection with virtually any audio software application. The MultiMix 4 USB FX enables bidirectional stereo playback, so you can record the stereo Main output into your computer and listen back using the mixer as an interface from software to headphones and monitoring loudspeakers. Cubase 7 LE comes bundled with MultiMix 4 USB FX and gives you a powerful software environment to record and edit your mixes.
BUILT-IN EFFECTS
Alesis DSP effects that include spacious reverbs, delays, phasers, and much more are included in the mixer. For lush mixes, the internal effects processors enables you to add extra depth to live sound – say, a long delay on the vocalist’s channel – or beef up dry recordings with some extra ambiance.
