"The myMix personal monitor mixing system developed by Movek is an excellent solution for all monitor/headphone mixing scenarios...It works quite well as a personal recorder or a 2-channel monitor mixer and the sound quality is superb. I also found track naming, channel selection, and most aspects of accessing and controlling the features very intuitive and could navigate fluently before even opening the manual...I wanted to test the system personally as well, so I did some overdub sessions of my own on a record I am producing for a singer/ songwriter and I was most impressed by the actual sound quality. Combined with my Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones, everything Michael Saracino, Professional Sound Magazine, April 2011
“I
have just used the MyMix system on an extensive tour of China as main
band monitoring system. With very limited time for setup in the
different venues, the intuitive handling of the system allowed for no
monitoring issues. The fact that the different musicians controlled the
channel inputs themselves, meant that we only had to rely on the FOH
staff to send us vocal and FX feeds which were triggered from their
position. The Mute/ Solo/ Global Volume interface makes for incredibly
speedy live mix switches. Having worked with most monitoring systems, I
would highly recommend this to other musicians and will personally
insist on this system henceforth.“

“On previous productions of this show I have specified various band
monitoring systems all with varying degrees of success. Just prior to
this tour I had the MyMix system demonstrated to me, impressed with
what I saw and heard and took the decision to include this as the
specified system on the tour rider. At the initial show in Hong Kong
the system was setup on the bandstand and a brief operational
demonstration given to the 12 piece band, after very brief sound check
during which the various mixes were sent to the system, we went into an
intensive show rehearsal period. It was only a few days later after the
opening night that I realised that band monitors had simply not been an
issue. The MyMix had been so intuitive and so reliable that if there
had been any issues, the band had simply dealt with them themselves.
MyMix is definitely my band monitoring system of choice." Mark Malherbe, Sound Designer, High School Musical Live On Stage (Hong Kong- China- Taiwan) |

"...Bottom
line, I think MyMix is the cat's meow. One of our non-techie worship
singers was using it within a couple minutes, and was doing complicated
things like renaming inputs in less than 5 minutes with very little
instruction. We're buying 8 MyMix units this week for our worship band
and singers." - Chris Fuchser

"The
MyMix has actually allowed me to concentrate on the performance,
instead of trying to attract the engineers attention so he can adjust
the levels of what I hear onstage. The MyMix allows each musician to
have control over what they hear in their monitor."
Ard Matthews, Lead Singer of Just Jinjer - South Africa's Premier Rock Band

"First I want to thank you for driving up from Nurnberg to Cologne to give us a demo on the myMix system. We were already
excited and when our lead singer and guitarist was able to
find the reverb send on her own and stated proudly: “I found the
reverb, sounds awesome!” I knew that the system is made for musicians.
It was very nice to offer us trying myMix on our first “Wohnzimmerkonzert” (Concert from the living room). On Dec 2nd 2010 it was about time. We
used four myMix : -1 in-ear for drums (thank god… did save us a lot of
noise) -1 in-ear for the bass player -1 for the wedges
vocalists/woodwinds -1 wedge keyboards. From
the input expander we got: -1 submix drums -1 submix keyboards -1
submix vocals -1 submix woodwinds - Bass from console aux - guitars
from console aux - Hammond from console aux fed into the system, so everybody could create their own mix.
Every
musician immediately understood the system and started using it for
granted. There were only happy faces and not a single issue! I
think, that given the fact that this is a whole new approach, which was
absolutely new to all involved, that’s big kudos to intuitive user
interface and functionality of MyMix.
And
as we needed all of a sudden a soundtrack from an iPhone to be shared,
I simply plugged a mini jack to jack cable into the myMix of the
musician who was standing with his iPhone in front of a microphone, and
1 minute later everybody had it in his monitors, exactly as they wanted
it. Great!" - Martin Ernst, Producer, German Television show Das Wohnzimmerkonzert

"We've found the mymix system to work extremely well for us in the
church context. For starters, it enables the musicians to be able
to control 16 inputs. This alone is a wonderful feature,
considering we came from a system with only 7 input controls. But
our musicians have also really enjoyed the other features of each
individual mixer: personal EQ, onboard effects, pan, etc.
During the first rehearsal with the new system, our electric guitar
player and drummer were already trying to convince the rest of the band
to try new effects they had discovered. Very intuitive
interface...our band was able to use the system immediately with very
little direct instruction. Further, the mixers accept an sd card,
which can record every individual track for later remixing or personal
rehearsal. This feature is simply amazing. But perhaps most
impressive is the quality of the sound. The mymix delivers superb
quality audio, enabling our musicians to play to their fullest
potential. We've been extremely pleased with the overall system
thus far. It has been our best tech investment for quite some
time." - Jason Wilson, Worship Pastor, the Journey at First Baptist, Orange City, Florida

"The other principal focal point of the month was more inevitable: the Winter NAMM Show.
Several launches stood out...Mathias von Heydekampf’s new venture, MOVEK, and its
myMix networked personal mixer and multi-track recorder..."

"MyMix from Movek is billed as a networked personal mixing and
recording system, and although it definitely delivers on both, I found
it to be much more than that. Of the three products, MyMix is
definitely the most professional as well as the most expensive. It
consists of a single device that can communicate with up to seven other
MyMixes by connecting them all to a standard 100mbs Ethernet hub. Each
device contains two input channels that can take either 1/4-inch or XLR
inputs. Once connected, your channels show up on the unit’s LCD screen.
If other MyMix users are on the network, their channels will also be
available on your screen. MyMix allows you to fine-tune and customize
nearly every aspect of your session with the ability to name your
channels, adjust levels and set stereo panning (it even contains a
four-band parametric EQ). Once
selected, all settings can be stored as custom profiles for quick
recall at a later time. The MyMix screen is large and easy to read, and
the unit uses a jog wheel and selector buttons for easy access to all
functions. “We wanted it simple to use so it would keep musicians in
the creative mindset,” said Movek’s Josh Bartunek. The
audio quality of MyMix is impressive, head and shoulders above the
rest. It is also the only device that sounded really good when plugging
instruments directly into it. The onboard effects are very usable, and
the vocal tones from a decent mic are smooth and warm. Not only does
MyMix sound great, it offers 24-bit multi-track SD card recording of
your session at the touch of a button. In addition to its ability to
provide silent rehearsal capabilities, MyMix is great for personal
monitoring applications on stage or in the studio. Simply run a line
out of your rig
into a MyMix, put on your headphones or in-ear monitors and you will
have total control over how you hear yourself and others on the
network." - Downbeat Magazine July 2010

My name is Michael Holland and I’ve been a professional musician for 20 years. I’m the bass player for the band The Clou Experience from
Düsseldorf, Germany and also work as sound designer for radio
productions in my own studio in Wachtendonk. Since several months we’ve
used eight myMix units with The Clou Experience on a POE switch. We
have about 100 gigs per year throughout Europe, this year we even made
it to Beijing. The entire band uses in-ear monitoring. In the past that
meant hours of sound checking to get each and every instrument and
voice in every musicians personal mix. Because many events have a very
tight time schedule that check did not happen appropriately and we had
to live the whole evening with a mediocre and sometimes even bad sound
result.
Since we started using myMix that has changed completely! The system is
easy and fast to set up on stage. After a quick gain adjustment on the
inputs the band is ready to roll, and in a sound quality that I never
had on an in-ear system before. Every musician can at any time during
the evening adjust all parameters of the mix, so in addition to EQ,
balance, solo and mute even adding reverb or delay per channel. At any
time one has a stage sound that equals a CD production in quality.
Simply great!
In addition to that, our sound tech is now also much more relaxed,
because he can concentrate fully on the main mix, without getting
disturbed by (loud) monitors. The band can rock’n roll and relax even
at dinner music level. And cutting all the individual tracks to an SD
card is simply a genius feature. The audio files can easily be imported
to any DAW for further use…super slick. If I could make a wish: I would
like to be able to select the tracks that get recorded, to save some
space on the card.
We also benefit from myMix in our rehearsal room. Great sound, no
schlepping of heavy equipment, a digital multi-track recording of every
session, what else could one wish to have? We use myMix even in hotel
rooms: plug in some instruments and here we go. A fast double checking
of some songs in the keyboardist’s room is not a problem. Even for
studio work, myMix is a great tool to create the headphone mix, because
everybody can adjust himself, saving precious studio time.
I’m a big fan of this genius system and can only recommend to all
musicians to check it out, afterwards you wouldn’t want anything
else.

Oh, BTW, I wanted to let you know that the MyMix system is working great! It has made a HUGE difference in the sound of the worship band! Now we can actually hear all the individual vocals and instruments, without it being way too loud. Everyone really likes the mixers. They picked up the controls very quickly - very intuitive. We may purchase one more mixer this year, so the vocalists can mix their wedge themselves. Thanks again for recommending it. Daryl, Table Community Church, Lampeter, PA
