4-channel desktop mixer with built-in USB digital audio interface, low-noise digital signal, more.

The Alesis MultiMix 4 USB is a compact 4-channel desktop mixer with a built in USB digital audio interface. This compact Alesis mixer is perfect for basic computer-recording setups, video editing, production studios, and portable podcasting. The MultiMix outputs not only line-level analog audio, but also stereo 16-bit, 44.1kHz digital audio over USB for low-noise, with easy computer connection.

The 4 input channels on the MultiMix 4 USB mixer all accept a 1/4" line input. You can can plug XLR microphones into channels 1 and 2, including condensers, thanks to the mixer's switchable 48V-phantom power supply. Plug a guitar or bass directly into channel 1's switchable high-impedance input.

The Alesis MultiuMix compact mixer's channels 1 and 2 offer switchable high-pass filtering at 75Hz to eliminate low-frequency rumble, handling and wind noise. Each channel has an independent pan control and channels 1 and 2 provide high and low-shelving EQs. Channels 1 and 2 have independent gain trims, while channels 3 and 4 are configured as a stereo pair at the level and pan controls.

Terrible Static/Hiss

Posted by Nate from Boulder, CO on Oct 28, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

I purchased this product thinking it would be the perfect desktop solution for Podcasting. I only need one channel, with XLR input to go to a Shure SM78 (really nice) microphone. Other reviews I've seen recommend 50db of gain for adequate sound reproduction with this mic, this MultiMix is spec'd at 40db, however it works excellent with SM78, even without maxing out the gain.

So all in all the Alesis MultiMix was exactly what I was looking for. Great features, great price, small size. However, with absolutely nothing plugged into the mixer other than headphones, turning the gain and level half-way up produces a loud hiss/static, making the product completely unusable for any recording or serious use. The same hiss comes up through the main out and the USB interface. This product got everything right but the quality prevents actually using it. I'll be returning it for a different mixer.
