The Alesis Studio 12R Microphone
Preamplifier/Mixer
The Alesis Studio 12R is a high-quality, rack-mountable 12-input,
stereo output audio mixer. It is designed to handle eight
microphones, two stereo line inputs, and to route signal to and
from external effect processing devices. As a basic, easy-to-
understand mixer, it can be used in a wide variety of applications
from sound reinforcement to multitrack recording. It may also be
used as an accessory or submixer to a larger console.
