Vonyx VMM-F401 - 4-Channel Analog Mixing Console with USB and Effects
The Vonyx VMM-F401 is presented as a comprehensive and highly versatile audio solution, designed specifically for sound enthusiasts, podcasters, and musicians seeking professional quality in a compact format. This 4-channel mixer combines the warmth of analog processing with the convenience of modern features, such as direct digital playback, making it the ideal control center for small audio setups.
Its intelligent design not only prioritizes portability, being extremely lightweight and easy to transport, but also offers complete control over your sound. Unlike other basic mixers in its category, the VMM-F401 incorporates a 3-band equalizer (treble, mid, and bass) on each channel, allowing you to sculpt your tone with precision, whether you're clarifying a voice in a podcast or adding body to an acoustic guitar in an intimate live performance.
Connectivity is one of its strong points. It features two combo mono inputs (XLR/Jack) that accept both microphones and line-level instruments, equipped with +48V phantom power —an essential feature for using studio condenser microphones that capture every nuance of the voice. In addition, it integrates an MP3 player via USB port with a clear digital display, eliminating the need for external devices to play background music or backing tracks.
For those looking to add depth and atmosphere to their mixes, the unit includes an echo effects generator with dedicated "Delay" and "Repeat" controls, perfect for karaoke sessions or adding a professional touch to live vocals. It also offers expandability via an FX Send output, allowing you to integrate external effects processors as your needs grow.
