Compact audio mixer with built-in audio interface
Whether you are performing on stage, recording a podcast, or making music in your home studio, it is vital that you have a low-profile and simple mixer that gives you full control over your sounds. The Alto TrueMix 500 is a dynamic, compact, and versatile mixer with a vast array of features to help you streamline your workflow. A single mic input channel and two stereo channels with dual TRS 1/4-inch connectors come equipped with a two-band EQ per channel, as well as panning and level controls. The onboard USB I/O connectivity allows you to use the TRUEMIX 500 as a stereo audio interface for audio playback and recording - perfect for music production, podcasting and live-streaming.
Flexible utility
With five input channels in total, the TRUEMIX 500 features all the I/O connectivity you need to process a range of sound sources. The colour-coded knobs make it easy to navigate between controls and connection, complete with classic-style VU metering for visual monitoring. The two stereo input channels features dual balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs – perfect for line-level audio sources.
You can even monitor your audio with the headphone output, with its own dedicated attenuator. When using the USB output, the TRUEMIX 500 will send a copy of the mixer's main outputs to your computer, providing full-bodied sound with exceptional audio fidelity. Not only that, but you can use the 2-track in/out to connect to an external recorder for added flexibility.
