The ART USB Mix is a compact 3-channel mixer and USB audio interface for home or mobile studios. Its XLR-1/4" combo jack input accepts mic, instrument, or line signals and supplies 48V phantom power for condenser mics. A pair of 1/4" TRS inputs takes stereo or mono line-level sources such as CD players, MP3 players, and tape decks.
The built-in audio interface converts analog input signals to digital and sends them to a computer over USB for recording and editing. Each input, the main output, and the headphone output has its own gain or level control. A USB playback switch lets you monitor the computer's output through channels 2 and 3.
With a computer connected, the mixer is powered through the USB bus. Used on its own, it runs on the included AC adapter. Audacity recording software is included.
