ART USB MIX - Three-channel Mixer with USB interface

The USB Mix is a portable analog mixer and class-compliant digital audio interface. Easy to set up and use, the USB Mix is a compact and convenient entry point into digital recording, and a convenient bus-powered solution for mobile tracking.

Channel 1 features an XLR / 1/4 combo jack that can accept mic, line, or instrument signals. It also has switchable phantom power to work with condenser mics. Channels 2 and 3 are configured as a stereo pair with 1/4 line inputs.

You can switch between monitoring only the mixer inputs, or blend them with the audio playback from your recording software. There are stereo outputs for studio monitors, a headphone output with an independent volume control, and a USB 2.0 connection for your computer or mobile device.
