Installation

Before the Mix-12 can operate with the Deva, you must install the proper firmware on your Deva.
This firmware is supplied by Zaxcom when you purchase the Mix-12.

Typical Setup Sequence

1. Connect the RS-422 cable from the Deva Serial connector to the Com1 connector on the
Mix-12 using Com 1.
The Com2 port is reserved for future use (displaying the meters on a computer screen).
2. Set the Deva serial port mode to RS-422 from the Deva Operating Mode screen.
Main Menu > Deva Setup > Operating Mode
3. Enable Mix-12 support on the Deva from the Mix-12 screen.
Main Menu > Deva Setup > Mix-12
NOTE:
The Deva will retain the Operating Mode settings when not powered on. However, if a factory
restore is performed, these settings must be re-enabled since they are not the default settings.
4. Connect the 12 VDC power input.
The input power must be between 8 and 16 VDC.

DC Power

The supplied AC-to-DC power convertor provides the proper voltage to the Mix-12. However, if a
DC power source is used, it must supply a DC input voltage of 8 to 16 Volts. When planning your
power usage with a DC power source, be aware that the Mix-12 draws approximately.25 amps of
current.

Operation

This section describes the operation of the Mix-12.

Playback Output Switching

This function can be controlled from the Operating Mode Menu. The Master Output mode
button selects if the playback switch of the output busses is enabled or disabled. This has been done
so that the output busses can be used for feeding Comteks and other devices. Playback only affects
the headphone output bus.
