ART USB MIX 6 - Six-channel Mixer with USB interface and DSP effects

The USB Mix 6 is an analog mixer with onboard effects and an integrated digital audio interface. Its designed for home and mobile recording, and is flexible enough for live use with a soloist or small ensemble.

The mixer section has six channels. Channels 1 and 2 have combo inputs that can accept mic, line, or instrument signals. Channels 3-4 and 5-6 are grouped in stereo pairs, and all channels have 2 band EQ for tone shaping. Theres also a stereo auxiliary input that can be assigned to the main or monitor bus for additional flexibility.

You can record the mixer output over the stereo audio interface, and the USB playback can be routed to the monitor output or to channels 5 and 6.

The USB Mix 6 combines the familiar workflow of a traditional mixer, the convenience of a multi-effect processor, and easy digital integration. Its a compact, powerful, and versatile hub for project studios, mobile recording, and small stages.
