Compact, good-sounding, small format mixer with quality effects on board.
The ZEPHYR ZMX122FX is an 8-channel, 2-bus mixer with all the inputs, outputs, routing, EQ, and effects you need for more intimate live performance reinforcement situations. It features four microphone inputs with balanced TRS jacks (two with Phantom Power), a three-band EQ and two AUX sends on each of the four mono channels and the two stereo channels, and even two-track inputs for things such as audio playback.
Regardless of what you're mixing, give your mix a professional edge with 256 onboard 24-bit DSP effects designed in partnership with Alesis. Choose from room and space delays, small and large hall acoustics, plate and spring reverbs, flangers, chorus effects and more. The ZMX122FX offers 16 variations of 16 professional Alesis effects from which to build, tweak, and dial in your sound. There's even a footswitch input so you can bypass all effects at the touch, or stomp, of a button. (footswitch not included)
The ZEPHYR ZMX122FX accommodates dynamic, condenser, and wireless microphones in the first four channels, as well as keyboards, drum machines, and other instruments in the two stereo channel inputs. What's more, you can easily plug in your MP3 player, CD players, or audio from a DVD player into the CD/TAPE inputs. 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, TV screen, or any number of sources. Choose the ZMX122FX as the audio central command for your live performances, home studio, or video suite.
High headroom, low noise
The ZMX122FX packs an enormous amount of features into a very compact space, but we took a no-compromise approach where the purity of your mix is concerned. This compact mixer brings the same standard of quality to your performances as our top-of-the-line models. All Alto Professional ZEPHYR 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.
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.

Comments about Alto Zephyr Series ZMX122FX 8-Channel Compact Mixer with Effects:
Nice Little Mixer. We are a 4 piece band and only use our mains for vocals and an acoustic guitar. We currently run three mics and the acoustic guitar through it and it works great. It is compact and very easy to setup and use.
Alto has good customer service. The effects were not working on the mixer I received. (It was a restock item, and that is probably why.) I emailed Alto just to make sure I was using the effects correctly and they got right back to me. I confirmed that I was following their directions and they got right back to me again with info on how to send it back to them for service. That is as far as I went with them because I just exchanged it with the vendor I purchased it from, but they did respond in a timely manner. They do not have 24/7 service though. You do have to wait for them to reply during their business hours, but they were still fast.
The only con I have is there are no real directions for it. There is a quick start guide and that is probably enough. It is a simple unit, but a little more detali would be nice.
I have not heard the effects yet so I can't speak to those. To be honest I am not expecting much. Just hoping to get a hint of reverb and I will be happy. The 3 band EQ per channel is nice and you can get a good tone out of it.
So I am happy with the product, and I believe the customer service will be there if I need it. I wold recommend this unit to a friend.

Comments about Alto Zephyr Series ZMX122FX 8-Channel Compact Mixer with Effects:
I'VE USE THIS NEW ALTO MIXER THE PASSED TWO WEEKENDS AS A DJ. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE GREAT SOUND THAT IT PUTS OUT. I BOUGHT IT AS A BACKUP MIXER FOR PEFORMANCES. I WAS USING ANOTHER MAJOR BRAND MIXER AND FOUND THE ALTO SOUND TO BE MUCH BETTER. I'M HEARING SOUNDS IN THE MUSIC SHARPER AND CLEARER THAN EVER BEFORE. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT.

Comments about Alto Zephyr Series ZMX122FX 8-Channel Compact Mixer with Effects:
I bought the Alto Zephyr Series ZMX122FX 8-Channel Compact Mixer along with a pair of Alto TS110A 630W 10" 2-Way Active Speakers and was blown away by the sound. I had a pretty good PA system that we had used for 18 years in churches, singing Southern gospel music with my family. The sound tracks that I run from my MacBook Pro and the vocal harmonies are crisp and clean, with just enough bass, at least for me. I wanted to downsize and upgrade, and am I glad I did. Alto may not have the name recognition of some of the other better-known manufacturers, but with respect to sound quality (and isn't that what's it all about) I would put them up against anyone.
