Introduction
This product complies with European CE requirements.
Thank you for your purchase of the Midiman miXim 10 audio
mixer. Midiman may not be well known as a manufacturer of line
mixers. However, we have designed and manufactured over 4
different models including MiniMixer, FineLine, MicroMixer 18
and MultiMixer 6. All of these mixers have two things in common: 1.) they are exceedingly quiet — quieter than 99% of the
units on the market; and 2.) they are uniquely configured to meet
the specific needs of the MIDI and multimedia musician.
The miXim 10, once again fits these two criteria. First, you will
not find another mixer, at any price, that is as quiet as the miXim
10. This is because the miXim 10’s innovative design incorporates a variable gain structure that maximizes headroom. The
unit’s simple and efficient design and ultra compact layout eliminates any measurable noise. The unit also has a higher than usual
voltage “rail” across its internal op amps. This means that you
get more punch and much more dynamic audio output.
Secondly, the miXim 10 feature set (when coupled with its ultra
quiet performance) functions beautifully as a front end to a digital
audio system, as an all purpose compact studio mixer or as a high
quality, versatile, live performance mixer.
The following summarizes some of the typical applications for
which miXim 10 is ideal:
“Front End” to a Digital Audio System
miXim 10 is ultra quiet which makes it the perfect mixer for the
front end of a digital recording set up. Because it’s so quiet it
won’t add any noise to your digital recording. Also, because
miXim 10 has such a variety of inputs and controls including mic
preamps, 3 band EQ, sends and returns (for the addition of exter-
3
nal effects) and more, it will more than meet any of your digital
audio input and mixing needs.
Live Band, Duos and Trios
miXim 10 takes up very little space. With its built-in mic preamps
and variety of controls, it can mix all instruments along with
microphones and drive a power amplifier.
Home Studios
miXim 10 can mix all the modules in a typical electronic instrument set-up, and it provides stereo mixing of acoustic instruments
and vocals.
Submixer for Larger Consoles
When many keyboards and modules need to be mixed and
expensive studio console inputs are at a premium, miXim 10 is the
answer for combining several of the instruments into a single
stereo mix which is then patched into the main mixing board.
