What is Evermix?
Evermix was founded in the UK in 2015 to connect electronic music fans with amazing DJ sets from the world's greatest artists via the Evermix website.
DJs can now easily record live mixes by plugging their iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (running iOS 8 or above) and Mixer into the MixBox2, a pocket-sized recording device created by Evermix, and upload instantly and wirelessly to their own Evermix page, Soundcloud & Mixcloud, and easily share links to their social media accounts. Evermix is opening the door to all DJs, Promoters, Venues & Brands around the world for the first time.
We're a small team of electronic music fanswith decades of experience working in the industry - working as DJs, in promotions, for major music brands, and of course with a background in technology companies!
We're excited to release our second generation MixBox to the wider community. For the last year we've been listening carefully to the feedback from DJs using the first version of the MixBox and working hard to improve both the hardware and supporting software. We're ready to bring a product to market that we're extremely proud of, and it's just the first step to our goal of making Evermix available to everyone in Electronic Music on a global scale.
We think thatEvermix will change the way DJ sets are captured to allow music fans to relive nights over and over again - and you can see what DJs think of usfurther down the page!
Help us save thousands of hours of lost music!
We're looking to raise £20,000 to push the button on the immediate manufacture of the MixBox2.
Over the last year we've worked with hundreds of top-draw DJs, Promoters, and Venues to improve on the first beta-product - the MixBox. Now, with your help, we're ready to go with the new and improved version!
By helping to fund the campaign you'll be one of the first in the world to receive the new MixBox2 with portable carry case - at low prices we won't offer again. You'll also join our ‘Founder Member' list, meaning you'll always receive premium account upgrades for free, and you'll be first in the queue for additional perks and benefits as we continue to grow and develop new features on evermix.fm (our music streaming website) and our DJ App.
If you're looking for something ultra-unique, we're creating 100units in two additional finishes - brushed gold and stealth black.
If we don't reach our funding goal don't worry - we'll still produce the MixBoxes and your order will be fulfilled. It might take us a few weeks longer, but we can guaranteethat you'll receive your product.
Top DJs are already loving Evermix
Join a high-calibre of DJs, Promoters, and Clubs.
The first generation MixBox and the Evermix DJ app have already been distributed and used by established DJs, clubs and promoters including the likes of Josh Butler, Roger Sanchez, Miguel Campbell, Eli & Fur, Camilo Franco, Motion Bristol and Sankeys Ibiza, plus many more global names and brands.
Have a look at our site evermix.fm to get an idea of who's using the MixBox already, and check out the brilliant sound quality.
We've included a long list of quotes further down the page (we thought you'd want to get onto the product info first), but here's Doorly, one of the first to use a MixBox, with a few thoughts:
Doorly: 'This is the app and device I've been looking for my entire career. I must have been through 20 different set recorders which have all had their own issues as well as being super expensive or non-durable for a touring DJ. Evermix is a recorder built to work with your mobile phone which is always by your side and the app makes the whole process incredibly slick and social for its users and fans. Now I'm just excited for this to be released and used by everyone so we can really enjoy its power.
MixBox2 product information
STAY FULLY IN CONTROL
During setup and recording, the MixBox2 provides the DJ with clear visual feedback: the LED indicator glows white when correctly connected, blue when an audio signal is recognised, and red when the audio signal is clipping.
After the set is over full control is given to the DJ to choose what they publish and to where; social sharing is made easy to Facebook, Twitter, and even to other music streaming sites. Soon, DJs will be able to communicate with their fans directly from within the Evermix DJ App.
AMAZING SOUND QUALITY
Extreme care was taken during the design process to ensure that audio quality was never compromised. The MixBox2 features a high quality Analogue to Digital Converter with a smooth noise floor with no audible tones, and is capable of recording DJ sets in lossless WAV, 320kbps, or 192kbps AAC.
DURABLE, SLEEK DESIGN… IMPOSSIBLY PORTABLE
Manufactured in the UK in partnership with Coomber Specialist Sound Solutions, the MixBox2 features an aluminium casing with annodised aluminium ends. The device is small enough to fit into all but the tightest of pockets, and comes packaged with a handy Evermix branded carry-case.
ULTRA LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
MixBox2 is powered by the DJ's iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and can record for many hours without any additional external power, removing any audio noise problems associated with using an external USB power supply. During testing, impressive power-usage results were achieved: a one hour set used just 10% of an iPhone 7 battery with screen off, and 20% with screen constantly on. If preferred, the MixBox2 can also be powered via the Micro USB socket.
What our Founder Members say about Evermix
Evermix has made it possible for me to record my sets and post them in the most mobile, compact and secure way I have found to date- Kudos on making this happen!
Roger Sanchez
Evermix is the perfect recording solution for me as a DJ. The MixBox connected to my mobile phone works seamlessly and it's so quick to set up. I love the fact that we can listen to what we just played in the club on our way home in the car and edit / upload it on my phone there and then or do it later.
Miguel Campbell (Outcross Records)
Evermix is a revolutionary idea, can't wait to see it spread across the globe. As DJs, the recording unit couldn't be easier to use, and as music fans, the site couldn't be more user friendly.
Kai (Gorgon City)
Useful, innovative and easy to use - what more could you want from an app? Better than Paris Hilton popping out your record box naked.
Omid 16B

The shipping costs change depending on your location. All products have to be shipped from the UK. Select your country in the checkout process and the shipping costs will be shown instantly. They range from around £9 in most of the UK up to £15 for far away lands.
I live in the UK, can I pick up the products myself?

CUSTOMER SUPPORT
What type of warranty do you offer on MixBox2?
All MixBox2 products come with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
How do you handle returns?
If your MixBox2 is defective and cannot be fixed, we can have a replacement shipped. Contact us through our website or our e-mail [email protected]/* */
Where can I get help if there is a problem with the product?
Check out the product information booklet provided with your MixBox2, or product demo on our Youtube channel to make sure you've connected everything properly first. If you need more help our site will be updated with support assets, and you can always write to us at [email protected]/* */ or talk to us on social media.
How do you handle taxes?
The backer is responsible, please check your country's import duties before purchasing.
TECHNICAL
How much does the MixBox2 weigh and what are the exact dimensions?
We're awaiting exact dimensions from the factory, but they are small enough to fit in your pocket and as a guide - the MixBox1 weighs just under 85g. MixBox2 will be very similar in size and weight.
What else comes in the box?
Along with your MixBox2 you'll also receive an Evermix branded carry case, RCA phono cables, and power cable for the MixBox2.
What else do I need to record my sets?
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.0 or above. Download the Evermix DJ App here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/evermix-dj/id10…
Can't I use the MixBox with my Android device?
Not yet unfortunately. We are working on an android version of the Evermix DJ App, but we can't guarantee when this will be available. So if you don't have access to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8 or above we recommend waiting for the Android app before buying.
I don't have a lot of storage space on my phone - can I still use the MixBox2?
Yes, as long as you have a small amount of storage space you can use the MixBox2. The Evermix DJ App lets you choose the audio quality, meaning you can create smaller files when you need to. A 1 hour mix recorded at 320 requires around 150mb.
Can I charge my phone while I'm using the MixBox2?
This is not possible yet. In our tests we found that after a one hour mix an iPhone will lose around 10% of battery when it is being used to power the MixBox2. If you prefer to power the MixBox2 via the micro USB port, the MixBox2 will not draw power from your phone.
I'm worried about my MixBox2 breaking in the club - is it resistant to damage?
We released 500 MixBox1 devices over the last 18 months, and we've never heard of one being physically damaged during this time. The MixBox2 is a sturdy little device but it isn'twaterproof.It stands up well to the scrapes and drops in the DJ booth. But do be careful with it.
SET UP
How do I connect my MixBox2 to my mixer?
This is really simple. Just locate the record out on the back of your mixer and connect the RCA cables between these ports and your MixBox2
How do I know the MixBox2 is working correctly?
Visual feedback on the MixBox2 let's you know what's happening. Once connected correctly the MixBox LED will glow white. Once an audio signal is recognised, the light will turn blue. If you're pushing the levels the MixBox2 will glow red to indicate that you may be distorting the signal.
How is the MixBox2 powered?
You have two options. Either plug into mains or other external power source using the micro USB, or take power directly from your phone with the cable supplied. Feedback from DJs using MixBox1 helped us to make this decision - sometimes an external power supply isn't available.
INDIEGOGO
Why are the MixBox2s being offered at different prices?
We wanted to reward early buyers with the best possible price. So the prices are tiered accordingly. We also realise that some people like limited edition products, so we introduced the Gold and Black editions. These are at a higher price because only 50 of each will ever be made.
Remember that buying your MixBox2 through Indiegogo entitles you to a lifetime Founder Member status - meaning you'll receive premium features for free in the future.
I preordered a MixBox2, but I didn't get any confirmation email. How do I check the status of the order?
If you didn't get a confirmation email yet, try looking in your spam filter. If it is not there, write to us at [email protected]/* */
Why are you using Indiegogo?
Indiegogo is a trusted and well known crowdfunding site globally. It allows us to sell the products sooner, because we haven't built our own online store yet.
What is ‘Flexible Funding', and does this pose any risk to me?
Flexible funding means that even if we don't hit the full funding goal, we can still receive your funding and produce your MixBox2. This means that there is no risk to you of having your money returned, causing frustrating delays. We're in a fortunate position to be able to guarantee you will receive your MixBox2 even if we don't reach the full funding goal.
Who should I contact if I have other questions?
Please contact us at [email protected]/* */, or on any of our social media accounts.
When is the money taken from my account?
The money will be deducted from your account right after you purchased any or multiple of the Perks via the Indiegogo page.
