High Headroom, Low Noise

The ZMX164FXU is an impressive bit of engineering, packing more features than should be allowed in one mixer. Of course, we also took a no-compromise approach where the purity of your mix is concerned. 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. The ZMX164FXU mixer brings professional performance that you demand, at a mind-blowing price.

Visualize Your Mix

We designed every ZEPHYR ZMX mixer with your performance in mind. 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.
