Main Features
Versatile and Complete Connectivity
The VM-KG10 is equipped with 10 input channels, including 10 combo microphone/line inputs (XLR/6.3 mm jack) that allow you to connect a wide variety of audio sources, from condenser microphones, thanks to its switchable +48V phantom power, to instruments such as guitars, basses, or keyboards. Additionally, it features two stereo line inputs (6.3 mm jack) and one independent stereo input (3.5 mm jack), perfect for connecting mobile devices or laptops.
32-bit DSP Effects Processor
It features a 32-bit digital sound processor (DSP) that provides access to 99 high-quality, pre-programmed effects. This effects library includes a variety of reverbs, delays, choruses, flangers, and phasers, allowing you to add depth and texture to your mixes without the need for external processors. Selecting effects is simple and easy via its digital display.
USB Audio Interface and Integrated Player
The USB functionality is dual. On one hand, it works as an audio interface that connects directly to a PC or Mac, allowing you to record the main stereo mix in your preferred recording software (DAW) and play back audio from your computer. On the other hand, its integrated MP3 player lets you play music directly from a USB drive, with dedicated playback controls.
Wireless Streaming with Bluetooth
Thanks to the built-in Bluetooth receiver, you can wirelessly stream audio from your smartphone, tablet, or other compatible device. This feature is ideal for playing backing tracks, background music at events, or integrating any audio source without the need for cables.
Precise Tone Control
Each of the main channels features an "ultra-musical" 3-band equalizer. This equalizer not only includes treble (HIGH) and bass (LOW) controls, but also a sweepable mid (MID) control, allowing for much more precise and detailed tone shaping to sculpt the sound of each instrument or voice.
Career Opportunities and Monitoring
The mixer offers balanced XLR main outputs for a clean, noise-free connection to active speakers or power amplifiers. It also features dedicated SEND outputs for external effects processors and CTRL ROOM outputs for creating a separate monitor mix for the sound engineer or musicians.
Benefits for Musicians and Content Creators
The Vonyx VM-KG10 was designed with efficiency and versatility in mind. Its all-in-one concept combines the functions of a mixer, effects processor, and audio interface, saving space, setup time, and money. The intuitive design, with individual faders for each channel and for the master, makes level control easy, accessible to both beginners and advanced users. Its portability, thanks to USB power, makes it the perfect companion for recording anywhere, rehearsals, or small live performances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I record all channels separately on my computer (multitrack recording)?
No, the Vonyx VM-KG10's USB audio interface sends the main stereo mix to your computer. It does not allow independent multitrack recording of each channel.
Do I need to install any drivers to connect it to a PC or Mac?
Generally, these types of mixers are "class-compliant," meaning they don't require the installation of specific drivers on modern operating systems. They should be automatically recognized as an audio device when connected.
What kind of effects does the DSP processor include?
The 99-presets DSP includes a wide variety of studio-standard effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, and phaser, among others, to enrich your mixes.
Does the +48V phantom power apply to all XLR inputs?
Yes, the mixer has a single switch that activates +48V phantom power for all XLR microphone inputs simultaneously. It's important to use only microphones that require phantom power when it's activated.
