The M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer is a new breed of gear that combines an 8 x 2 analog mixer and a 10 x 10 24-bit/96kHz digital audio interface in one convenient package—the perfect tool for computer-based recording and performance. Route and record mixer channels discretely to individual tracks in Pro Tools M-Powered, Ableton Live 6 and other software studios.

And that means you don’t have to change settings like EQ and reverb in your files every time you play a new venue. Flexible monitoring options also make vocal/instrument recording and DJ-style audio previewing a breeze. And the included M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer interFX application allows you turn your M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer and host computer into a powerful live mixer with access to all of your VST effects. The M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer seamlessly integrates your computer with your studio—and bridges the gap between studio and stage as well.

M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer is intended for anyone who is using a computer for music production, and is designed to be the nerve center of a project studio. The unit is especially suited for those users who use a large number of inputs or instruments in their recordings. From vocal and drum mics to guitars, basses and keyboards, the M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer allows all sound sources to be connected simultaneously for monitoring and recording.

Small bands can use the M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer as a PA mixer for their practices/jams, an interface for recording the individual instruments and as support for their live shows. An electronic or hip-hop producer can have all of their drum machines, samplers and synths connected for monitoring during composition. These sources can instantly be recorded at any time to discrete tracks in a DAW. Furthermore, the M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer will allows users to preview material on headphones prior to adding it to the main mix, an important element in today’s live dance shows.

Unlike the other audio interface-equipped mixers entering the market (Mackie and Alesis), the M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer allows multiple channels of audio to be returned to the mixer. This assists greatly in the recording process as users can create a separate headphone mix for an artist, feed a click track to a drummer or preview audio material. The return streams also allow the computer to be used as a multi-effect processor, essentially functioning as an insert effect for every channel.

M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer simplifies the recording and mixing process, as well as enhancing live performance. Users no longer need both an audio interface and mixer with a myriad of cables interconnecting them. This reduces studio clutter and the potential for mistakes (incorrect wiring). With a general trend in the market for smaller devices with more features, M-Audio NRV10 Firewire Mixer accomplishes this through thoughtful integration of its components. This reflects the M-Audio paradigm of portable, quality devices that are affordable and enhance the music-making experience.
