Zephyr ZMX862; an incredible Alto Professional mixer giving great control over 6 channels in a portable, compact design.

Compact Design, Professional Performance

Professional Performance with a Small Footprint

Alto Professional’s Zephyr ZMX862 is a 6-channel, 2-bus mixer with an assortment of inputs, outputs, routing and EQ options, perfect for intimate live performance applications.

Two microphone inputs, each providing Phantom Power, a three-band equaliser and two AUX sends per-channel for external effects monitoring along with two track inputs for external audio such sources all combine to make the ZMX862 a perfect, portable and professional mixer.

Versatile Connectivity

A step up from the extremely popular ZMX52 mixer, the ZMX862 adds further inputs and an extra EQ band along with a switch for the Phantom Power.

Perfect for quick and easy setups with zero hassle, the ZMX862 comes with all manner of connectivity options to making professional mixing a breeze.

You can plug dynamic, condenser and wireless microphones into the first two channels while also plugging in keyboards and other instruments into the two stereo channel inputs.

Furthermore; you can play backing tracks or music between sets by connecting an MP3 player, DVD or CD player into the CD/TAPE input.

Two AUX sends allow you to send your audio from the mixer to a digital effects unit, stage monitor or other device.

Low Noise, High Headroom

Size matters not – even though it is the compact, portable and affordable,  Alto approached development of the ZMX862 with a no-compromise attitude to ensure you get the same standard of quality in performance as you can expect from their top models.

The Zephyr ZMX862 has been designed to offer extremely high headroom with an ultra-low noise performance and discrete mice preamps to always deliver the full dynamic range of your mix.

Great Visualisation of Your Mix

Designed with your performance in mind, this Zephyr ZMX mixer offers fantastica usability.

Lighting conditions can vary from venue to venue and in some you can find it hard to see your mixer at all and so Alto Professional have decided to colour code each section and incorporated brightly coloured knobs, making it easy to find and adjust everything you need to without having to blindly feel around in the dark.

Blue, red and white pots are instantly identifiable in dim lighting while LED indicators for output level, peak and phantom power make sure you’ve got multiple, instant visual cues to give you that extra-dimension of involvement with your sound.

Live or In the Studio

With its incredible versatility, high quality output and functionality-aiding lights and colour coding, the Alto ZMX862 is the perfect choice for mixing and recording whether it’s a live performance out on the road or back in the studio.
