Zephyr ZMX862 6-Channel Compact Mixer: Alto Professional

Alto Professional Zephyr ZMX862 6-Channel Compact Mixer

The ZMX862 is a 6-channel, 2-bus mixer with the right amount of inputs, outputs, routing, and EQ for more intimate live performance reinforcement situations. Features two microphone inputs, each with with Phantom Power, the ZMX862 also has a three-band EQ, two aux sends per-channel for external effects and monitoring, and even two track inputs for things such as audio playback. The ZMX862 is a perfect, take-anywhere professional mixer.

Versatile Inputs and Outputs

The ZMX862 is a step up from our massively popular ZMX52 that adds more inputs and an extra band of EQ as well as a switch for phantom power. Not only can you plug dynamic, condenser, and wireless microphones into the first two channels, you also get two stereo channel inputs for keyboards, drum machines, and other instruments. Plus, you can easily plug in your MP3 player, CD player, or audio from a DVD player into the CD/TAPE inputs. But, you also have two AUX sends that you can use to send streams of audio from your mixer to a digital effects unit, stage monitor, or any number of destinations. Choose the ZMX862 as the audio central command for your live performances, home studio, or video suite and be ready for any audio curveball.

High Headroom, Low Noise

Just because the ZMX862 is compact, portable and affordable doesn't mean you have to make sacrifices. This compact mixer brings the same standard of quality to your performances as our top-of-the-line models. All Alto Professional ZMX mixers are designed with high headroom and ultra low-noise, discrete mic preamps so you always get the full dynamic range of your mix every time. Pristine sound. No compromises.

Visualize Your Mix

We designed every ZMX mixer with your performance in mind. Sometimes venues are dark and it can be hard to see what you're working with. Alto Professional solves this problem by not only color coding each section of the mixer, but also by using brightly colored knobs so that you can easily find what you need to adjust before you ever lay a finger on the mixer. Our blue, red, yellow and white pots are instantly easy to identify in dim lighting. LED indicators for output level, peak, and phantom power also assist in making sure that you have multiple visual cues that compliment everything you're hearing.
