Alesis MultiMix 12 FireWire Description
This dual-purpose unit is a FireWire interface with real faders, knobs, and EQ, and it's also a rockin' standalone analog mixer with quality Alesis effects and flexible signal routing. Each input channel on the mixer (plus the stereo mix) is sent into your computer and a stereo output is received from the computer for monitoring. Its versatility will fit your needs in your project studio, for live sound, portable recording with a laptop, sub mixing, and radio/TV production.

You get preamps with XLR and 1/4" balanced ins and phantom power on mono channels; balanced 1/4" ins, aux send, and stereo aux return on stereo channels; 28-bit effects; 3-band EQ on each channel; 1/4" balanced main and monitor outs; a headphone jack; and 24-bit, 44.1/48kHz A/D/A conversion. Steinberg Cubase LE is included.

From studio to stage

The MultiMix FireWire lets you record your band during the day and mix your live gig at night. Every input plus the stereo mix is sent to the computer while a stereo pair returns from the computer into the MultiMix for monitoring (and headphone mixes).

24-bit, 44.1/48kHz operation

The MultiMix uses the same A/D and D/A conversion as the esteemed Alesis HD24 recorder clean, pure, and totally professional conversion.

Next-generation FireWire technology

The MultiMix uses the brand new, high-performance TC Applied Technologies Dice II FireWire chip. Superior clocking, state-of-the-art interfacing, and robust drivers all come standard!

Alesis effects built in

The MultiMix FireWire has 100 of Alesis' 28-bit digital effects built in. Reverbs, choruses, delays, and other effects can be mixed into your recording path or just used for zero-latency headphone mixes (the performer hears reverb in the headphones, but the track is recorded dry into the computer).

Rack it up

The MultiMix is rackmountable, with easy-to-attach rack ears available.

I have the 16 ch version and its the s hit! Never given me any major problems. I highly recommend it . Its almost the same cost as a normal mixer but with much more capabilities. I have even used in live recordings and it works just find. Clean results.

Quality: 9
It's a well built mixer, works quite well as just a mixer, but it shines as an interface...very low latency, clean recording. Hell, nothing's a 10, but this is close

Reliability: 10
I've had mine about a year now, no problems what so ever

Overall Rating: 9
Yes, for the money, it rocks, and yes, I would buy it again

I have had mine for about a year now as well. THere is new updates on the alesis websitethe drivers as well as mac support. From what I understand, this board is now discontinued. Dont know why ; maybe alesis figuered out that this board is worth alot more then what it was selling for. Either way - Im glad I bought it before they discontinued it. This board along with my laptop are the main components in my home studio. Near zero latency!!!!!
