Alto TrueMix 800FX USB Mixer With Bluetooth And Effects

Alto TrueMix 800FX USB Mixer with Bluetooth and Effects

The Alto Professional TrueMix 800FX is an eight-channel analogue mixer that combines four microphone channels, two stereo line channels, a dedicated Bluetooth channel, USB audio and 16 built-in Alesis effects in one compact desk unit. It is built for home recording, livestreaming, podcasting and small live performances, where several voices and music sources need to be balanced into one clean stereo mix. High-headroom circuitry keeps noise and clipping down, and four headphone outputs with independent volume controls solve the shared-listening problem that most small mixers ignore.

Key features

• Eight analogue inputs: four mic channels and two stereo channels
• Four XLR mic inputs with 48 V phantom power and balanced line inputs
• 16 built-in Alesis effects including reverbs, delays, chorus and flange
• Dedicated Bluetooth 5.0 channel with mix-minus for feedback-free phone pairing
• USB audio sends the stereo main mix to and from a computer
• Four headphone outputs, each with its own volume control
• Two-band EQ on every channel, plus or minus 15 dB
• Eight-segment LED VU meter and colour-coded knobs

Channels for voices and instruments

The four microphone channels accept XLR connectors for dynamic microphones, or condenser microphones using the switchable phantom power, and each also has a balanced quarter-inch line input for instruments and other line-level sources. Two further stereo channels, each with dual balanced quarter-inch TRS inputs, take keyboards, media players and other stereo equipment. Every channel has gain, two-band EQ, pan, effects send and level controls, so a four-person podcast, a small band rehearsal or a presentation with music playback can all be balanced from the front panel without menu diving.

Alesis effects built in

The effects section carries 16 Alesis multi-effects covering chorus, flange, delays and a range of reverbs, with a dedicated return channel and a per-channel send knob. A touch of reverb lifts a vocal or spoken voice in a live mix, and delay or chorus can widen an instrument, all without an external processor or a computer plug-in chain. An effects mute button lets you drop the effects instantly between songs or segments, which is exactly how the section gets used in live and streaming work.

Bluetooth with mix-minus, and USB recording

The Bluetooth channel streams music from a phone or tablet, and its mix-minus return makes phone pairing feedback-free, so a remote guest can join a podcast or stream without hearing their own voice echoed back. For recording, the USB connection is plug and play on Windows and macOS: it sends a copy of the main mix to the computer for streaming or stereo recording, and returns computer audio to the mixer. A 2-track RCA input and output connect an external recorder, with routing assignable to the main mix or the headphones. Remember that USB carries the stereo mix rather than a separate track per channel, so balance the mix as you record it.

Monitoring and output routing

Four headphone outputs, each with independent volume, mean a host and three guests can all monitor at their own level, a rare convenience at this size. The main output is a balanced quarter-inch stereo pair, with additional tape and aux outputs for sending the mix to a monitor or external unit. The eight-segment LED VU meter gives a clear read on levels, and the measured performance backs the design up: frequency response of 20 Hz to 22 kHz, total harmonic distortion under 0.005 percent and a signal-to-noise ratio above 110 dBu. Extra knob caps are included so you can colour-code the panel your way.

Choose the TrueMix 800FX if you need one compact mixer that handles microphones, music playback, phone guests, effects and computer recording together. It packs the routing of a much larger desk into 305 x 238.5 x 79 mm and just 2.04 kg.
