Microphone Inputs

The Alesis Multimix 12R features eight studio-grade, low-noise hybrid microphone preamplifiers. These [MIC] jacks are designed to work with almost any low-impedance microphone using standard 3- conductor XLR connectors. The [MIC] jacks also feature 48 volt phantom power, which may be turned on and off by the [PHANTOM] switch on the back panel, for condenser microphones which require external powering.

The MIC Input is designed to accept a wide range of balanced or unbalanced low impedance input signals, with up to 60 dB of amplification available (which is 10 to 20 dB more than many other rack-mount mixers). It is wired with "pin 2 hot" according to the accepted standard.

✪Use only one input per channel. The LINE IN jack and the MIC IN jack of a channel can’t be used at the same time. If you turn up the level of a line source to hear it at the same time a microphone is connected, you may damage the microphone.
