Full Description

Create an Experience

Live performances are more than just a job, they are an experience for the performers, the audience and for the sound engineer. The EMPRE TMX series was engineered to precise specifications to deliver the kind of performance you demand, while giving you everything you need to create an unforgettable experience. The EMPIRE TMX80DFX is part of the TMX line, which also includes the TMX200DFX, TMX160DFX and TMX120DFX.

Professional Creativity

The TMX80DFX may be small but it's loaded with just what you need including 14 total inputs comprised of 4 XLR jacks with phantom power, 8 Line jacks and stereo RCA. These low-noise channels are your best friend when connecting instruments, mics, or even your iPod for playing between sets. Even better, each mono and stereo channel has its own 3-shelf EQ, so you can dial in every nuance you need in seconds. in addition, there is a full 9-band stereo EQ. A/D and D/A conversion is performed with 24-bit precision, which means you'll never have a "What was that?" moment. Easy-to-view knobs with incredibly smooth movement help to make mixing feel like playing a fine instrument.

So Many Effects, So Little Time

The TMX80DFX's on-board digital effects processor provides pristine 24-bit, ultra-clean digital effects you, and the audience, won't soon forget. Effects include Echo, Echo+Verb, Tremolo, Plate, Chorus, Vocal, Rotary, Small Room, Flange Verb, Large Hall. 100 Presets are included, leaving you plenty of options for coloring the mix.

Power to Spare

Did we mention power? The TMX80DFX comes standard with the ability to deliver ultra-clean power at 2 x 350W (4-ohms) or 2 x 180W (8-ohms). These aren't peak rating either, this is pure continuous power. In short, it's a workhorse. Fortunately, all that power isn't as heavy as you might expect. Weighing in at just under 11 pounds, the TMX80DFX is a clear winner in the power-to-weight class.

Whether you need just 8 channels, a full 20 or anything in-between, the Alto Professional EMPIRE TMX series has something to help you create an unforgettable experience every time.
