TUBEMIX
5-Channel Recording Mixer with USB and Assignable 12AX7 Tube
“The Tube Mix falls right in line with ART's ethos of purveying practical gear at attainable, realistic prices, while it offers a fun and ideal solution for home recording, podcasting, DJ work, basic live sound, and more — with the bonus of some vacuum tube mojo!" -Tape Op
The Tube Mix is a five-channel mixer with two mic preamps, phantom power, a dedicated High-Z instrument input, VU meters, and an assignable 12AX7 tube gain stage. It’s also a two-channel digital audio interface with an integrated amp simulator.
The input channels feature 3-band EQ, stereo aux sends, and controls for level and panning. The master section lets you quickly configure the monitor signal for the control room and headphone outputs, and assign the source and destination for the class-compliant USB interface.
With classic sound, modern features, and timeless style, the Tube Mix combines analog and digital elements into an inspiring recording solution that looks as good as it sounds.
