Alesis - Multimix 4 USB Mixer

the lab review

OVERVIEW
Alesis' Multimix 4 USB is a compact 4-channel desktop mixer with pro 16-bit/44.1kHz audio USB audio interface capabilities at an affordable price.

FEATURES
This mixer is the smallest in the Multimix family, but that doesn't mean it lacks functionality. With 4 channels to record and USB connectivity, this mixer is perfect for home studio recording. Channels one and two feature XLR connections for mics - with switchable phantom power - plus controls, including gain, pan, and level, and a 2-band EQ. these channels also feature 1/4" line inputs as well. Channels three and four feature stereo line inputs, with a joint pan and level control. A compact, but effective option for a mixer that leaves a very small footprint in the studio.
