ART USB MIX and Interface - An Affordable and Compact USB Mixer/Interface!
This little guy not only provides 3 channels of mic/instrument/line mixing, but it doubles as a USB audio interface for your computer! Powered through the USB connection, this versatile little gadget is a sweet addition to any mobile recording set up. An XLR/TRS combo input is able to take either a microphone level or Hi-Z guitar level or even a line level signal. And another mix channel with stereo (or two mono) 1/4" line inputs allows you to plug in a keyboard or similar. All housed in a compact, durable metal chassis.
Mobile or Desktop Recording
Whether your starting out in the recording game or needing to record on the go, the ART USB Mix is a fantastic choice, giving you all the functionality of a 3 channel mixer as well as an external USB soundcard for PC or laptop! It's all bundled into a tiny steel box that barely takes up the space of a coaster on your desk, and slots into your backpack like a peanut. This, coupled with the fact that it draws all its power needs from a USB port means you can just plug and play, anywhere you go! You even get a separate level control for your headphones! This little pocket rocket is totally awesome. If you're in the market for an audio interface, check out the ART USB Mix.
