Introduction
This product complies with European CE requirements.
Thank you for your purchase of the Midiman miXim 10 audio
mixer. Midiman may not be well known as a manufacturer of line
mixers. However, we have designed and manufactured over 4
different models including MiniMixer, FineLine, MicroMixer 18
and MultiMixer 6. All of these mixers have two things in com-

unit’s simple and efficient design and ultra compact layout elimi-

voltage “rail” across its internal op amps. This means that you
get more punch and much more dynamic audio output.
Secondly, the miXim 10 feature set (when coupled with its ultra
quiet performance) functions beautifully as a front end to a digital
audio system, as an all purpose compact studio mixer or as a high
quality, versatile, live performance mixer.
The following summarizes some of the typical applications for
which miXim 10 is ideal:

won’t add any noise to your digital recording. Also, because
miXim 10 has such a variety of inputs and controls including mic
preamps, 3 band EQ, sends and returns (for the addition of exter-
