Introduction  
About the MultiMix-8FX  
The MultiMix-8FX is the latest in the large family of Alesis audio  
mixers. We’ve come a long way since the 1622 mixer we first built  
in 1989. Since that time audio technology has grown in leaps and  
bounds, pushing up quality and driving down prices. Only a few  
years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to buy a mixer this  
powerful for such an affordable price. Just take a look at the key  
features listed below, and you’ll see that you have just made an  
incredible addition to your home studio or live setup.  
The MultiMix-8FX gives you just about everything you need to  
create polished, professional-sounding mixes When designing this  
unit, our goal was to give you as much control over your mixes as  
possible without requiring a wealth of extra equipment. That’s why  
we added tools like the digital effects processor and the mic  
preamps. And with a multitude of ways in which to connect other  
equipment and instruments, the MultiMix-8FX offers endless  
possibilities.  
MultiMix-8FX Key Features  
y
4 microphone/line inputs with up to 50dB of preamp  
gain – gives a boost to microphones and instruments with

Introduction  
How to Use This Manual  
This manual is divided into the following sections describing the  
various functions and applications for the MultiMix-8FX. While  
it's a good idea to read through the entire manual once carefully,  
those having general knowledge about mixing should use the table  
of contents to look up specific functions.  
Helpful tips and advice are  
highlighted in a shaded box  
like this.  
Chapter 1: Getting Started shows you how to include the MultiMix-  
8FX in your audio setup for recording and live applications. We’ve  
included a hookup diagram, guidelines for which cables to use and  
the vital steps you must take to set levels properly.  
Chapter 2: A Tour of the MultiMix describes the MultiMix-8FX piece  
by piece. This chapter also features diagrams of the mixer to help  
you find each component as you read about it.  
Chapter 3: Digital Effects Processor explains the effects provided by  
the on-board digital effects processor. If you want to know what a  
certain effect will do to your sound before you select it, this is  
where you should look.  
When something important  
appears in the manual, an  
exclamation mark (like the  
one shown at left) will appear  
with some explanatory text.  
This symbol indicates that  
this information is vital when  
operating the MultiMix-8FX.  
Chapter 4: Applications outlines a number of scenarios in which  
you can use the MultiMix-8FX, including some tips on what  
goes where when you’re hooking everything up.  
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting can give you a hand if you’re experiencing  
problems with your mixer. You’ll find that most issues can be  
resolved simply and quickly with the push of a button.  
Chapter 6: Specifications and Chapter 7: Block Diagram are full of  
technical information for the more advanced users.

Introduction  
A Few Words for Beginners  
We realize that some of you who have purchased the MultiMix-  
8FX are fairly new to the art of mixing, and we’ve written this  
manual with that in mind. We also designed the MultiMix-8FX to  
be both powerful and easy enough to use that even a beginner can  
quickly pick up the basics.  
One of the most important  
things you’ll do before you  
begin a mixing session is to  
set the levels. Be sure to refer  
to the instructions on page  
16.  
Many mixer manuals—and manuals for just about any electronic  
instrument for that matter—are full of complicated terminology  
and incomplete instructions that presume a lot of experience on  
the part of the reader. We try to avoid that with this manual. True  
enough, you will find all the technical lingo and specifications you  
can handle in here, but we do our best to make this accessible to  
you.  
Beginners will find several elements of this manual especially  
useful. Keep your eye out for the tips found in the gray boxes on  
the right side of the page. Be sure to check out the hookup  
diagrams on page 15, which will give you some ideas on how to fit  
the mixer into your audio setup after you’ve taken a tour of the  
mixer in Chapter 2. And if you come across any terms that you  
haven’t seen before, the glossary probably can help you out.

1 Getting Started  
Hooking up the MultiMix-8FX  
This diagram will help you get the MultiMix-8FX hooked up and  
ready to go. The equipment you use depends on personal  
preference and on whether you’re performing live or recording.  
For example, you’ll see below that the MAIN MIX OUT can be  
routed to a recording device for recording, or to a PA system for  
live performance.  
Be sure to follow the  
guidelines for which cables to  
use (further down this page)  
and the procedure for setting  
levels (on the next page)  
before you begin mixing.  
Using Proper Cables  
When connecting instruments and other equipment to the  
MultiMix, it’s important that you use the appropriate types of  
cables. Here are some simple but important guidelines:  
y
y
For the mic inputs, use XLR cables.  
For the line inputs and all other 1/4” connections, use 1/4”  
mono TRS cables.  
y
And use stereo RCA cables for the 2-track in and out.  
 
15  
Getting Started  
Setting Levels  
1
Before you can begin mixing different audio sources with your  
MultiMix, you must set the level for each channel you’re using.  
This helps to prevent distortion and clipping. The idea is to get the  
strongest signal possible without clipping. Here’s how:  
1. Turn the channel level control to the 12:00 position.  
2. Turn the AUX SEND and GAIN controls all the way down,  
and turn the EQ knobs to the center detent (you’ll feel a click).  
3. Connect the source of the signal to the channel’s input.  
4. Play the instrument at a normal level and adjust the channel’s  
gain slowly until the PEAK LED lights.  
5. Slowly reduce the channel’s gain until the PEAK LED no  
longer lights when you play.  
6. If you need to apply EQ, do so and check the PEAK LED to  
make sure it still does not light as you play.

2 A Tour of the MultiMix  
In this chapter, you’ll learn all about the MulitMix-8FX’s  
components (except for the digital effects processor, which is  
explained in the next chapter). Please refer to the diagrams as you  
read each section to see which components we’re talking about.  
Patchbay  
At the rear portion of the top of the MultiMix-8FX, you’ll find the  
patchbay. This is where you plug in instruments, signal processors,  
multitrack recorders and other devices. Whatever you need to  
connect to the mixer, this is where it’s done. In the following  
paragraphs, we tell you all about the inputs, outputs, switches and  
knobs you see in this section of the mixer.  
Mic Inputs (Channels 1 – 4)  
Although chances are your  
microphones will work fine  
with these mic inputs, we  
recommend that you do some  
checking up on the type of  
microphone you’re using,  
especially if it’s one of the  
older vintage models. Verify  
that your microphone  
requires phantom power and  
make sure its output is low  
impedance, balanced and  
floating.  
The MultiMix uses standard XLR-type mic inputs. These provide  
+48V phantom power that you can turn on and off with the  
Phantom On switch located on the rear of the mixer. You  
probably will have to turn on the phantom power when you’re  
using most condenser mics, as these usually require the extra  
voltage (unless the mic has its own power source, such as a battery).  
Dynamic and ribbon mics don’t require phantom power and are  
unaffected when the power is on.  
These high-quality mic inputs also feature up to 50dB of preamp  
gain that you can adjust with the Gain knob.  
Another useful feature of these mic inputs is a high-pass filter  
(HPF) that can be turned on and off with the HPF switch. When  
you activate this switch, all frequencies below 75Hz are cut from  
the signal. This is useful for mic or line signals that don’t have  
much bottom end, such as vocals, snares, cymbals and electric  
guitar. You’ll want to leave this inactivated for instruments like  
basses and kick drums.  
Always connect your  
microphones before  
activating phantom power.  
Microphones tend to be very  
sensitive, and the sudden  
power surge can do  
permanent damage to the  
mic’s circuitry. It’s also a  
good idea to lower mixer  
levels before you activate  
phantom power.  
Line Inputs (Channels 1 – 4)  
The line inputs, marked LINE IN, are balanced 1/4” jacks that  
offer the same 50dB of preamp gain and the high-pass filter  
provided by the mic inputs (however, phantom power does not  
apply to line inputs). These inputs accept line-level instruments  
such as keyboards and drum machines. If you find that your  
instrument has a weak line signal, just plug it into channels 1 – 4  
and crank it up with the Gain knob.  
 
17  
A Tour of the MultiMix  
Line Inputs (Channels 5 – 8)  
2
Unlike channels 1 – 4, the line inputs on channels 5 – 8 are stereo  
inputs that have left and right inputs. If you’re using one of these  
channels as a mono input, plug your instrument into the left input.  
Channels 5 – 8 don’t have the extra gain found on channels 1 – 4  
because most line-level instruments don’t require the extra boost.  
MIDI and other electronic instruments will work especially well on  
these channels. These inputs are also good for connecting CD  
players or tape decks, as these audio sources don’t require extra  
gain.  
PHONE Jack  
The headphone jack accepts 1/4” jacks. If your headphones are  
1/8”, you can find a 1/8” to 1/4” adapter in most electronics  
stores.  
AUX RETURNS  
If you are using an effects  
device with only a mono  
output, plug it into the left  
return of STEREO AUX  
RETURN. It will appear in  
the center of the stereo  
These are the 1/4” jacks where you connect the outputs of an  
external effects processor or other audio source. Each aux return  
gives you 15dB of gain that can be controlled by the AUX RET A  
and EFFECTS / AUX RET B LEVEL knobs in the mixer’s  
output section.  
spectrum, and not to the left.  
AUX SENDS  
And these is the 1/4” jacks where you connect the lines that are  
going into the input of an external effects processor. The aux  
sends give you 10dB of gain that can be controlled in the AUX  
section of each channel input.  
2-TRACK  
The 2-TRACK IN and OUT jacks are standard RCA jacks. You’ll  
use the OUTs for mixing to a tape deck or other recorder. With  
the INs you can bring in a signal, which can be monitored and  
even added to the main mix via the 2TK TO MIX switch in the  
master section of the mixer.  
MAIN MIX OUT  
These 1/4” jacks are where the signal on the main mix bus leaves  
the mixer. From there you can send it to a recorder or a PA system.  
The level of this signal is controlled by the MAIN MIX level  
control.  
CTRL RM OUT  
You can use these 1/4" jacks to send the control room signal to  
the input of the amplifier driving your monitors or headphones.  
This output usually carries the main mix. However, if you engage  
the 2TK TO CTRL ROOM switch, the CTRL RM OUT will carry  
the signal present at the 2-TRACK inputs.

Channel Strips  
The eight channel strips are virtually identical to each other, with  
the only difference being that channels 1 – 4 are mono and  
channels 5 – 8 are stereo. Each channel strip contains the following  
components.  
Level Control  
The level control knob controls how much of the signal from the  
mic or line inputs is sent to the channel. To adjust the level, simply  
turn the knob to the desired level. In the leftmost position, levels  
are cut completely, and in the rightmost position you get an  
additional 10dB of gain.  
PAN or BAL  
This control—labeled PAN on the mono channels and BAL on  
the stereo channels—lets you assign the channel to a particular  
spot within the stereo spectrum. If you turn this knob to the left,  
you can hear the signal move to the left, and if you turn it to the  
right…you get the picture. The pan controls do this by adjusting  
the amount of the signal being sent to the left main mix bus versus  
the right main mix bus. The balance controls do it by controlling  
the relative balance of the left and right channel signals being sent  
to the left and right main mix buses.  
PEAK LED  
This indicator lets you know when the channel’s signal is clipping.  
This light plays an important role in setting channel levels by  
helping you know when to reduce the channel’s gain.  
Aux  
Here you’ll find knobs that control the levels of aux sends A and B.  
AUX A is pre-fader, which means that the AUX A send is affected  
only by the EQ and HPF settings. A pre-fader send is usually used  
for cue sends (for example, sending a signal to headphones while  
recording, for which you may not want the fader to alter the  
channel’s level).  
AUX B is post-fader, which means that the AUX B send is  
affected by the fader (or level control knob in this instance), EQ  
and HPF settings. A post-fader send is generally used for sending  
the signal to an external effects device (so that the fader controls  
the signal level). Like AUX A, AUX B can be used for routing  
signals to external devices. And when you are using the onboard  
effects processor, AUX B is used to control the level of the  
channel’s signal being routed to the processor.

A Tour of the MultiMix  
EQ  
2
The MultiMix gives you three bands of EQ per channel. Using  
these knobs, you can tailor the channel’s signal by boosting some  
frequencies and cutting others. The LO and HI controls are  
shelving controls with fixed frequencies of 75 Hz and 12 kHz  
respectively. The MID control has a peaking response fixed at 2.5  
kHz.  
“Shelving” means that the mixer boosts or cuts all frequencies past  
the specified frequency. “Peaking” means that frequencies above  
and below the specified frequency fall off, forming a peak in a  
graphical representation.  
Master Section  
The Master Section is the heart of the mixer, where the channel  
inputs and aux returns all are mixed together and routed in various  
ways.  
Main Mix  
The signals from all channels and aux sends are sent to the main  
mix. The MAIN MIX level control is the one you’ll use to control  
the overall level of those combined signals. This knob affects the  
levels of the signals sent to the MAIN MIX OUT and the 2-  
TRACK OUT. In its leftmost position the signal is cut off  
completely, and in the rightmost position you get an additional  
10dB of gain.  
2TK To Mix  
When you press this switch, the signal coming in through the 2-  
TRACK IN gets routed to the MAIN MIX, joining whichever  
other signals are already part of the main mix. Used this way, the  
2-TRACK IN effectively becomes another stereo channel (but  
without all the extras like pan, EQ, etc.).  
HDPH / CTRL RM  
The HDPH / CTRL RM knob controls the level of the signal  
being sent to the CTRL RM OUT and the PHONES output. The  
level of this signal is represented by the LED meters. The “CTRL  
RM” in the name of this knob refers to the fact that it controls the  
signal that typically is sent to the control room monitors of a  
studio, where someone—usually an engineer—is working the  
mixer. However, don’t be intimidated if you’re using this mixer in  
your bedroom, which probably isn’t equipped with a control room.  
In this scenario, you can use headphones or connect the CTRL  
RM OUT to your speakers.  
 
20  
A Tour of the MultiMix

2TK TO CTRL ROOM Switch  
When you engage this switch, the signal coming in from the 2-  
TRACK jacks is routed to the headphones and to the control  
room output. This level is controlled by the HDPH / CTRL  
ROOM level control and cancels out any signal from the main mix.  
AUX RETURN A LEVEL  
This is the level control for the signal returning to the mixer via  
AUX RETURN A.  
EFFECTS / AUX RET B LEVEL  
If you are using one of the MultiMix-8FX’s internal effects, this  
knob controls the effect level. If AUX SEND B is connected to an  
external device, this knob controls the level for AUX RETURN B.  
LED Meters  
These are the two rows of yellow, green and red lights you see in  
the master section of the mixer. The LED meters allow you to  
view the signal level of the main mix and 2-TRACK IN depending  
on which signal you have routed to the control room mix.  
POWER Indicator  
When this LED is lit up, that means the POWER ON switch on  
the rear of the mixer has been activated.  
+48V Indicator  
When this one is lit up, that means the PHANTOM ON switch on  
the rear of the mixer has been activated and is supplying +48V  
phantom power to all XLR mic inputs.  
Rear of the Mixer  
Here’s what you’ll find at the rear of the mixer.  
The POWER INPUT is built  
to accept only the power  
supply unit provided with  
your MultiMix-8FX, or an AC  
power supply that has the  
same specs. Others probably  
will not work.  
Power Input  
Here’s where you plug in your mixer’s external power supply.  
You should always connect your power supply to the mixer before  
you plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.  
 
21  
A Tour of the MultiMix  
Power Supply Unit  
2
This unit provides 18.5 VAC at 700 mA, more than enough to  
keep your MultiMix-8FX running smoothly. As with nearly all  
power supply units, this one tends to get warm when left on for a  
while. This is perfectly normal.  
Power On  
Another easy one. Switch this one on and your mixer has power.  
Switch it off and it doesn’t. Make sure that all master output knobs  
are turned all the way down when powering your mixer up or  
down.  
Phantom On  
As we said earlier, it’s very  
important that you plug in  
your microphones and mute  
your system before you turn  
on phantom power.  
This switch activates and deactivates the phantom power  
described in “Mic Inputs (Channels 1 – 4),” page 17. This  
switch controls phantom power for all four mic inputs.

3 Digital Effects Processor  
Onboard your MultiMix-8FX™ is a powerful effects  
unit that has 100 preset programs. We offer a few tips on  
where to use these, but don’t limit yourself to our  
suggestions. We recommend that you experiment with  
these effects to get a good feel for how they can improve  
your mixes.  
Effects Section Components  
Program Selection Knob  
You can use this knob to assign one of 100 effect programs to  
your mix. Turning the knob to the right increments the program  
number, and turning it to the left decrements the program number.  
You can control the level of the effect for each channel via the  
channel’s AUX B knob. You must PRESS the effect knob to  
activate the selected effect.  
LED Display  
This display shows you the number of the current program.  
CLIP Indicator  
When lit, this LED tells you that there is a signal clip at the  
internal effects input. This means that you should reduce the signal  
via the EFFECTS / AUX RET B LEVEL control.  
SIG Indicator  
When lit, this LED indicates that the effects processor is receiving  
a signal.  
Effect Descriptions  
HALL  
This type of reverb simulates the ambience of a grand concert hall.  
ROOM  
This type of reverb reproduces the more intimate ambiance of  
natural room acoustics.  
PLATE  
These are simulations of metal plate reverbs, as used on classic  
recordings from the '70s and '80s.  
CHAMBER  
These are simulations of the reverb created by artificial echo  
chambers, as used on classic recordings of the '50s and '60s.  
 
23  
Digital Effects Processor  
CHORUS  
3
These create the effect of multiple voices (or instruments)  
sounding at once from a single input.  
FLANGE  
These create a sweeping, swooshing sound effect that you will  
probably recognize.  
DELAY  
These effects are based on a discreet repetition or echo of the  
input.  
PITCH  
These effects transpose the pitch of the input signal and blend the  
effect signal with the original to create harmonies.  
MULTI & MULTI II  
These are combinations of two or more of the above effects.

4 Applications  
Your MultiMix-8FX can be used in a wide variety of ways in both  
live and recording applications. You have several options for  
bringing sound into and out of the board. And when it’s brought  
in, you can route it to various parts of the mixer for certain desired  
effects, or even send it to an external processor or tape deck and  
back. To give you some ideas for different mixing scenarios, here  
are descriptions of a few common applications for the MultiMix-  
8FX.  
Simple Recording Setup  
In this setup, you connect your instruments and microphones to  
the mono and stereo channels, making sure to properly set the  
level of each channel. To record directly from the mixer to a tape  
deck or other device, connect the device via the 2-TRACK OUT  
jack. To record to a multitrack recorder, connect the MAIN MIX  
OUT to the recorder’s inputs.  
You can select one on-board effect and control its level with the  
AUX B knob for each channel. Or you can use an external effects  
processor by sending a signal to the external unit via the AUX  
SEND A and returning it via AUX RETURN A.  
For monitoring you can connect the CTRL RM OUT jacks to a  
speaker or headphone amplifier, or just simply plug headphones  
into the PHONES jack.  
Simple Live Setup  
This is similar to the recording setup. In a live setup, you most  
likely will connect the MAIN MIX OUT to a PA system amplifier  
and the CTRL RM OUT to a headphone amplifier for monitoring  
purposes. Try connecting an external effects processor to the  
MultiMix’s send and receive. Your headphones will allow you to  
audition a channel before you bring it into the mix, making sure  
the levels are OK before the audience hears it.  
Using Additional External Audio Sources  
The MultiMix-8FX gives you 8 audio inputs in all. If you want to  
bring external audio sources into a recording or live mix, you can  
do it in several different ways. Using the 2-TRACK IN, you can  
add a tape deck, ADAT, CD player or other source to the mix. The  
2-TRACK IN also can be used to entertain the audience with a  
CD as the band is setting up for a live show. The AUX RETURNS  
can be used as additional audio inputs when you are not using  
them for effects.  
Importing Music Into Your Computer  
If you would like to import your earlier recordings—or audio from  
any other source—into your computer, you can use the MultiMix-  
8FX to ensure the resulting audio file is mixed properly. Just  
connect your 4-track, tape deck or other device to the mixer using  
the 2-TRACK IN or the mixer’s channel inputs. The MultiMix’s  
main output should be connected to an input device that is

Glossary  
Here are the definitions to some terms you’ll probably encounter  
while using your MultiMix-8FX.  
Term  
Definition  
aux (auxiliary)  
An additional set of outputs and inputs found on many mixers. These  
allow the addition of external effects and other audio sources.  
balance  
bus  
A control that lets you control the position of sound in a stereo signal by  
altering the relative levels of the left and right channels.  
The electrical component that carries signals from multiple sources to a  
single destination such as an amplifier.  
channel  
A path through which an audio signal flows.  
channel strip  
A section of a mixer on which reside controls like a fader, EQ and pan  
for manipulating the signal of an input channel.  
clipping  
The cutting of an audio signal caused by a level that is too great for a  
mixer circuit to handle.  
condenser  
microphone  
A type of high-quality microphone that produces a weak signal, usually  
requiring an external power source like the ones provided by your  
MultiMix-8FX’s XLR mic inputs.  
dB (decibel)  
detent  
A common unit of measure for audio.  
A point of resistance in the path that a mixer knob or fader travels.  
Detents are used to mark important settings. As you turn the knob or  
slide the fader, you’ll feel it “click” into the detent.  
dry  
Term used to describe an audio signal free of effects. The opposite of  
“wet.”  
dynamic  
microphone  
A common type of microphone that does not require external power.  
Dynamic microphones are generally cheaper than condenser  
microphones.  
effects processor  
A unit whose purpose is to provide effects for audio signals. Some  
common effects include reverb, chorus, flange and delay. Effects  
processors come in many shapes and sizes, from small pedals up to  
rectangular rackmount units.  
EQ (equalizer)  
gain  
The part of your mixer (or other device) that manipulates an audio signal  
by lowering the level of some frequencies and increasing the levels of  
others. EQ is used to fine-tune a signal’s highs and lows.  
The measure of extra amplification applied to an audio signal. Channels  
1 – 4 on your MultiMix-8FX have gain controls, which are useful for  
 
35  
Glossary  
boosting mic and line signals.  
level  
The amount of power driving an audio signal. The most common  
names given to levels of varying voltage are, from lowest to highest,  
microphone level, instrument level and line level.  
master section  
mic preamp  
mixer  
The section of a mixer where the main mix is controlled.  
An amplifier that boosts a microphone-level signal up to line level.  
A device whose purpose is to combine and output a number of audio  
signals, allowing various types of signal manipulation.  
mono (monaural)  
pan  
Refers to an audio signal that has only one channel. The opposite of  
stereo.  
A control that lets you position a mono signal within the stereo spectrum  
by altering the level of the signal being sent to the left channel as  
opposed to the right.  
phantom power  
A way of providing power to condenser microphones. Called  
“phantom” because the power isn’t apparent to dynamic microphones  
when you connect them to an input that provides phantom power.  
post-fader  
pre-fader  
return  
Describes an aux send that sends a signal that already has passed through  
the channel fader.  
Describes an aux send that sends a signal that has not passed through the  
channel fader.  
A line input whose function is to carry back to the mixer an audio signal  
that has been sent from the mixer. Usually used in the application of  
effects.
