MicLIVE features eight customizable jingle pads for triggering sound effects in real time. Each pad is highly customizable, and audio can be recorded directly to a pad from any of MicLIVE's inputs or assign audio and the pad’s color from the computer app.

Powered by USB 5V, MicLIVE can operate using USB bus power and also be powered by a mobile battery. Because of its truly mobile design, it can be carried to any venue for mixing and streaming audio.

The MicLIVE App allows access to every feature in the mixer, giving additional control over DSP parameters such as compressor, equalizer, Echo, Filter, Pitch, Reverb, and more.
