The INGS VOLE 1500 is a professional studio 18-channel analog mixer with low-noise Xenyx microphone amplifiers. They allow the use of both dynamic and condenser microphones. At the inputs there are three–band “British” equalizers with two knobs for adjusting the low frequencies (remember the upper and middle ones), on the microphone channels there are edged 75 Hz NCH filters, as well as compressors in the form of rotary knobs with LEDs. The device has three buses: you can collect signals from one or more channels to any of them. A distinctive feature of the mixer is the possibility of wireless connection with the Behringer Ultra-microphones, for which a USB-A connector is provided on the front panel, where you need to connect a USB receiver, to which, in turn, up to two microphones are connected. In addition, in cash there is a built–in USB audio interface with connection directly to a computer. After purchase, you will be able to download 150 tools and effects plugins from the site behringer.com and use them with an audio interface.

The INGS VOLE 1500 also has a built-in 24-bit Klark TEKNIK effects processor that can be applied to any channel. It has a two-segment digital LCD display to display the selected preset and its parameters. The number of effect presets is 32, this number includes various types of reverb, Chorus, delay and other effects. Interrupts based on time parameters are editable: you can enter the current tempo value in them with a tap. Of course, the built-in processor can be bypassed if you want to use an external one. The built-in has its own six-segment level indicator with clipping, it is placed next to the LCD display. A separate xpq Surround effect splits into a series of master sections and creates an ambient sound effect. Under the effects panel of the processor there is a 9-band graphic master equalizer with a separate power button and a choice of sending to the main bus or to the monitor.

In addition, the INGS VOLE 1500 has a well-developed parcel/return system. Two messages are available for each channel: one for application monitoring, the second for external effects processors. There are 6 XLR microphone inputs, 6 linear mono inputs, 4 linear two-channel TRS stereo inputs (8 physical inputs) and 2 RCA inputs on board. The outputs are represented by XLR and TRS 1/4″ Jack connectors, as well as 1/4″ TRS Jack for headphones and two RCA outputs; thus, they can record their signal from both RCA and XLR and TRS outputs. Additionally, there are two control outputs and two 1/4″ TRS sub-outputs on the back panel, as well as 6 inverters for the main channels. The channels have their own level controls in the form of faders with Gain up to +10 dB, balance or panning adjustment knobs, as well as the level of effects with Gain up to +15 dB. In the master section there are master faders (separately on the left and right channels), faders for sub-output and a 12-segment common two-channel level indicator with a clipping LED. On the front panel, you can also find a connector for connecting an external footswitch and a voice change button.

In general, the INGS VOLE 1500 can be called an excellent mixer for medium-level studios, which can work with a large number of channels simultaneously, has an advanced send/return system and high sound quality.
