Alto Pro LIVE802 - 8-channel / 2-bus mixer

Product Information

When it comes to those all-important effects, there’s a choice of 100 Alesis-designed presets (arranged as 10 types with 10 variations of each) that provide a wide choice of delays, reverbs and reverb/delay combinations, as well as an assortment of modulation treatments. The USB recording side of the mixer is also very straightforward and clean sounding, with the Live 802 showing up as a generic two-channel USB codec. However, there’s no delay tap-tempo button, which is something I’d miss, though there is a remote jack for bypassing the effects using any standard footswitch. That leaves the effects, which certainly have that bright Alesis quality about them, with a sensible range of reverbs and a selection of repeating delays with various delay times.

With high headroom, pristine sound, and built-in dynamic control, Live 802 ensures that the full dynamic range of your mix comes across with striking clarity.
