Description

Alto Professional TrueMix 500 is a 3-channel analog mixer, 1 mono (Mic/Instrument) and 2 stereo (line) with a 2-band equalizer (bass and treble), pan, and gain on each channel. The class-compliant USB audio port adds a stereo input and output to your PC, Mac, smartphone, and tablet.

The TrueMix 500 from Alto Professional is a compact mixer, with a small footprint (159.5x193x66mm) and a weight of only 900 grams, designed to ensure maximum portability. Equipped with an integrated stereo USB audio interface, Alto TrueMix 500 offers all the essential features for home recording, live streaming on Youtube, Twitch, and Facebook, podcast creation, small live performances, and use with the most popular audio/video communication platforms: Teams, Zoom, Skype, etc...

Circuits and components offer pleasant dynamics, as noise is minimized and signal clipping is easily managed thanks to the high headroom. Channel 1 offers an XLR input with microphone preamplification, which supports both dynamic and condenser microphones thanks to the presence of 48v phantom power. This mono channel alternatively offers a balanced line input on a ¼" TRS jack to which we can connect instruments such as electric guitars or basses, or other line-level signals: synths or other monaural sources. There are two stereo channels, each with a pair (L and R) of balanced ¼" TRS jack inputs. These inputs are perfect for your line-level audio sources. Gain, Pan, rotary volume control, peak indicator, and a two-band equalizer are available on all three channels: ±15dB @ 12kHz for highs, ±15dB for low frequencies preset at 80Hz.

Connecting the Alto TrueMix 500 to your computer, smartphone, or tablet is simple and immediate. As it is a class-compliant device, connectivity with Windows and macOS operating systems is truly plug and play and does not require drivers. The TrueMix 500 is your perfect companion for mixing, audio recording, and live streaming even when you're on the go.
