Vonyx VMM-P500 - Compact 4-Channel Mixing Console with USB Interface, Bluetooth and DSP
The Vonyx VMM-P500 redefines what you can expect from a small-format mixer. Designed as an all-in-one solution, this device is more than just a traditional analog mixer; it's a complete audio control center integrating a stereo USB audio interface , a standalone media player/recorder, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Its lightweight yet robust chassis packs the power needed to handle everything from professional podcast recordings to live performances in small venues or mobile DJ applications.
What truly sets the VMM-P500 apart is its power versatility. Because it operates on 5V via USB , you're not tied to a wall outlet. You can power it by connecting it to your laptop or, for complete portability outdoors, using a standard power bank . This, combined with its high-quality preamps and DSP effects processor, makes it the ultimate tool for content creators, street musicians, and podcasters who need studio-quality sound on the go.
Main features
The VMM-P500 is equipped with professional tools adapted to a desktop format:
-
Hybrid Connectivity: It has 4 mixing channels distributed across 2 mono inputs (with XLR/Jack combo connectors) and stereo channels for line instruments or audio returns.
-
Integrated USB Audio Interface: Connect the mixer directly to your PC or Mac. It functions as an external sound card, allowing you to record the master directly into your DAW or send audio from your computer to the mixer for mixing.
-
Advanced Multimedia Module: Includes a USB player compatible with MP3 files, which are displayed on its digital screen. It also offers Bluetooth connectivity to wirelessly stream background music or backing tracks from your smartphone or tablet.
-
DSP Effects Processor: Incorporates an effects engine with 16 digital presets (including Echo and Delay), ideal for adding depth to voices in karaoke or live performances.
-
Total Sound Control: Each mono channel has a 2-band equalizer (treble and bass), gain control and switchable +48V phantom power for use with studio condenser microphones.
Benefits for content creators and musicians
This mixer eliminates the usual technical barriers. For podcasters and YouTubers , the ability to connect a studio microphone via XLR and record directly to a computer via USB simplifies the workflow, eliminating the need to purchase a separate audio interface. For musicians , the inclusion of built-in DSP effects means you can add reverb or delay to your vocals or instrument without carrying around external pedals.
Furthermore, its direct USB recording function is a lifesaver for capturing rehearsals or jam sessions without needing to turn on your computer. Just plug in a USB drive, press record, and you'll have an instant copy of your mix.
Use cases
-
Podcasting and Streaming: Broadcast-quality voice management and real-time PC audio mixing.
-
Busking Musicians: Thanks to the Power Bank power supply, you can play on the street with condenser microphones and effects.
-
Small Events and Karaoke: Easily mix microphones with music sent via Bluetooth from a mobile phone.
-
Home Studio: As the main interface for recording vocal and instrument demos.
