About the iMultiMix 8 USB
The iMultiMix 8 USB mixer is the latest in the large family of
Alesis audio mixers. We’ve come a long way since the 1622 mixer
we first built in 1989. Since that time audio technology has grown
in leaps and bounds, pushing up quality and driving down prices.
Only a few years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to buy a mixer
this powerful for such an affordable price. Just take a look at the
key features listed below, and you’ll see that you have just made an
incredible addition to your home studio or live setup.
The iMultiMix 8 USB gives you just about everything you need to
create polished, professional-sounding mixes. When designing this
unit, our goal was to give you as much control over your mixes as
possible without requiring a wealth of extra equipment. That’s why
we added tools like the digital effects processor and the mic
preamps. Not to mention the built-in iPod
®
dock for recording
and playing back directly from your iPod. And with a multitude of
ways in which to connect other equipment and instruments, the
iMultiMix 8 USB offers endless possibilities.
