Alto Zephyr ZMX52 5 Channel Mixing Desk

Zephyr ZMX52; an incredible Alto Professional mixer giving great control over 5 channels in a portable, compact design.

Compact Design, Professional Performance

Professional Features

The Zephyr ZMX52 brings together an assortment of inputs, outputs, EQ control for gigs and studio applications and packs it all into a compact 5-channel mixer.

Featuring a mono channel with microphone input (with Phantom Power for condenser microphones), a balanced TRS input and a two-band EQ along with two-track inputs for audio playback, the ZMX52 is perfectly portable with great features, allowing you to take a professional mixer with you, wherever you need it.

Versatile Connectivity

Perfect for quick and easy setups with zero hassle, the ZMX52 comes with all manner of connectivity options to making professional mixing a breeze.

You can plug in dynamic, condenser and wireless microphones into the first channel 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.

A dedicated stereo output allows you to send to a recorder in addition to the main stereo outputs so you can lay down tracks whenever you want.

Low Noise, High Headroom

Size matters not – even though it is the smallest, most affordable mixer available from Alto, they approached development of the ZMX52 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 ZMX52 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 fantastic 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 ZMX52 is the perfect choice for mixing and recording whether it’s a live performance out on the road or back in the studio.
