Alto EMPIRE TMX80DFX 8-Channel Powered Mixer with Effects
The Alto EMPIRE TMX80DFX 8-Channel Powered Mixer with Effects is loaded with a total of 14 inputs comprised of 4 XLR jacks with phantom power, 8 line jacks and stereo RCA. These low-noise channels are beneficial when connecting instruments, mics, or even your iPod for playing between sets. Each mono and stereo channel has its own 3-shelf EQ, so you can dial in every nuance you need in seconds and in addition, there is a full 9-band stereo EQ. A/D and D/A conversion is performed with 24-bit precision, and easy-to-view knobs with smooth movement help to make mixing feel like playing a fine instrument.
The 8-Channel Powered Mixer is equipped with an on-board Alesis digital effects processor that provides pristine 24-bit, digital effects. The effects include echo, echo+verb, tremolo, plate, chorus, vocal, rotary, small room, flange verb, large hall. 100 Presets are included, leaving you with plenty of options for coloring the mix.
The TMX80DFX comes standard with the ability to deliver continuous power at 2 x 350W (4Ω) or 2 x 180W (8Ω). Whether you need just 8 channels, a full 20 or anything in between, the TMX80DFX is ready to handle your performance needs.
