TouchMix™-30 Pro
TouchMix™ is quite simply
the most powerful small-format
digital mixer series ever created.
From the highly compact
TouchMix-8 to the flagship
TouchMix-30 Pro, the TouchMix
Series uniquely offers the features,
capabilities and sound quality of
the world’s most esteemed large
format consoles in a refined and
portable package that’s small
enough to be carry-on luggage.
Perfect for musicians, bands, AV
production profes- sionals and
small performance venues,
TouchMix also goes “Beyond
Mixing” by also offering Wizards,
Presets and other beneficial tools
that help both seasoned audio
professionals and novices alike get
great results quickly and easily.
Professional in Every Way
Compact in size but enormously
powerful and capable, TouchMix
represents a new paradigm for
small-format digital mixers:
Audio quality.
The most important aspect of
any mixer is audio quality and in
this regard, TouchMix leads the
pack among all small mixers.
With professional-grade, class-A
microphone preamps, topquality converters and meticulous
attention to design detail
throughout the entire signal path,
the TouchMix Series delivers
pristine audio quality that rivals
mixers multiple times its cost.
Results matter.
The TouchMix design team set
out from the start to create a
mixer with an intuitive workflow
and straightforward navigation
that is understandable for the
less experienced user and fast

for the professional — all without
sacrificing any "big console"
features or capabilities. As a result,
the mixer is extremely easy to learn
and operate. Many TouchMix
functions such as EQ,
compressors, gates and limiters
offer a choice of Advanced Mode
operation with total control over all
parameters or Simple Mode that
presents only the most essential
controls.
Big mixer. Small package
A TouchMix digital mixer is one of
the most advanced and capable
audio processing devices ever
created. Its capabilities rival many
of the world's largest and most
prestigious large-format consoles
but with the added benefit of being
highly portable and right-sized for
the majority of today’s portable
sound reinforcement applications.
Its small channel count also makes
it affordable to a vast array of users
who would otherwise never have
imagined having such advanced
capabilities for their own use.
Wireless when you want it.
Hardware when you don’t.
The TouchMix Control app for iOS
and Android devices provides a
portable, wireless interface to the
mixer and offers additional control
surfaces for the system operator.
Individual users can be granted
full access or limited to a selected
set of controls such as a single
monitor mix.
In instances where Wi-Fi control is
either not reliable or not desired,
the elegant touch-and-turn
interface of TouchMix allows for
tactile control over fader and mixer
parameters while also providing a
reliable fixed hardware connection
to vital mixer functions.
Achieving a quality mix under varying conditions can be a challenging task for even the most
seasoned audio professionals. Understanding this, the TouchMix design team put their decades of
live sound experience into creating a mixer that delivers great results quickly and easily, whatever
the situation. From setting up the most basic instrument or vocal channel to optimizing dynamics
and processing to tackling complex monitor routing, TouchMix makes it all fast and easy for
professionals and novices alike.

experience, the extensive Channel Preset
Library offers remarkably accurate and
infinitely useable settings for the most
commonly used instruments and mics.
Used as-is or as a starting point, Channel
Presets help users of all levels achieve a
great mix quickly and easily.
Live sound. Studio grade.
With class-A microphone preamps and pristine audio quality throughout the signal chain, TouchMix
delivers quality results both live and in the studio.
Studio-Grade Effects Processors
TouchMix onboard effects rival the world’s most
sophisticated (and expensive) outboard processors.
The TouchMix-30 Pro has six high-quality effects
processors while the TouchMix-8 and -16 each
have four. All effects processors can be utilized
simultaneously without giving up channels or Auxes.
You can choose from two types of reverb, chorus,
pitch change, mono or stereo delay. There’s even
an Effects Wizard that helps you choose the right
effect and apply it where you need it.
Live Multi-Track Recording/Playback
TouchMix can record all inputs plus a Main or Aux Stereo mix directly to an external USB hard drive
without a computer. On playback, tracks can be mixed down or combined with live inputs as live
performance tracks. The free TouchMix DAW utility assists with importing tracks into PC or Mac
(Digital Audio Workstation) software as well as exporting DAW tracks for playback on TouchMix.
