Typical Applications

Live Band, Duos and Trios

MicroMixer takes up just one half rack space. Plus with the
addition of mic preamp(s), it can mix all instruments along
with several microphones and can drive a power amplifier in
mono or stereo.

Home Studios

MicroMixer can mix all the modules in a typical electronic
instrument set-up, and it provides stereo mixing of acoustic
instruments and vocals.  

The MicroMixer is ideal if you are using MIDI “virtual tracking”
with a multi-track recorder. MIDI is being used more and
more to perform mixing “at the source,” and the MicroMixer
- a noiseless, multiple input mixer - is perfect for this applica-
tion.

MicroMixer is the answer for combining several of the instru-
ments into a single stereo mix which is then patched into the
main mixing board.
