SUMMING TWO SEPARATE SOURCES the mIX 2:1 is also handy for summing audio signals from two different devices, such as a guitar mic and a passive DI, or top and bottom snare drum mics.

Page 9: Using The 180º And Ground Lift
USING THE 180° SWITCH the mIX 2:1 includes a 180° switch which reverses the polarity of the audio on INPUt-2 - this is sometimes referred to as a ‘phase reverse’. When two audio signals have similar content but are reversed in polarity, certain frequencies can be cancelled or amplified when the signals are summed together, creating a filtered or unnatural sounding result. -
