Alto Truemix 500 5-Channel Analogue Mixer

The Alto Professional TrueMix 500 is a compact mixer that comes equipped with a stereo USB audio interface, making it an ideal tool for home recording, podcasting, live streaming, or live performances. Consisting of five analogue inputs that feature high-headroom circuitry, it ensures minimal noise and clipping in the signal.

The Mic Input Channel of the mixer provides an XLR input, which is ideal for connecting a dynamic mic. It also features a balanced ¼” line input that can be used for connecting instruments and other line-level signals. In addition, there are two Stereo Input Channels that come with dual balanced ¼” TRS inputs, which are perfect for accommodating line-level audio sources.

The mixer’s channels are equipped with two-band EQ, and their colour-coded knobs make it effortless to adjust your sound in low-light environments. Not only that but the TrueMix 500 can be quickly connected to your computer with plug-and-play functionality on both Windows and macOS platforms. Showcasing a user-friendly design and portability, the TrueMix 500 is an excellent choice for straightforward audio mixing and recording while on the move.
