About the MultiMix-8FX 
 
The MultiMix-8FX is the latest in the large family of  Alesis audio 
mixers. We’ve come a long way since the 1622 mixer we first built 
in 1989. Since that time audio technology has grown in leaps and 
bounds, pushing up quality and driving down prices. Only a few 
years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to buy a mixer this 
powerful for such an affordable price. Just take a look at the key 
features listed below, and you’ll see that you have just made an 
incredible addition to your home studio or live setup. 
 
The MultiMix-8FX gives you just about everything you need to 
create polished, professional-sounding mixes When designing this 
unit, our goal was to give you as much control over your mixes as 
possible without requiring a wealth of  extra equipment. That’s why 
we added tools like the digital effects processor and the mic 
preamps. And with a multitude of  ways in which to connect other 
equipment and instruments, the MultiMix-8FX offers endless 
possibilities.
