Page 6: Before You Begin
Before You Begin It makes good sense to think about where you place your MixDream XP before connecting it. It should be positioned so that you can easily reach it, but there are other considerations. Try not to place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to excessive vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. -

Page 8: General Advices
Rear Panel/Connections The MixDream XP enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively shielded against HF interference. Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place the unit to avoid electrical disturbances. The MixDream XP and all devices to be connected should be turned off before connections are made. Always turn volume down or mute your speakers when disconnecting or repatching audio cables to avoid damage to your speakers and ears. -
Page 9: Main Outputs
Main Outputs The Main Outputs provide a stereo mixdown for a recording device through electronically balanced XLR outputs. Here as a rule you will route the stereo mix through an A/D converter for re-recording as a new DAW track. Monitor Outputs The Monitor Outputs run parallel with the Main Outs and provide for separate monitoring of the stereo mixdown through elec- tronically balanced XLR outputs. -
Page 10: Control Elements
Control Elements Output Control The Output control regulates the MixDreamXP output level (at the Main Outs). Its range extends from -14 dB to +7 dB. With this Output Control final levels can be ajdusted to accommo- date subsequent A/D converters. Because the Main Outputs and Monitor Outputs run in parallel, both outputs are regulated globally via this control. -
Page 11: Gnd-Lift Switch
Control Elements GND Lift Switch (Rear Panel) The GND Lift switch separates internal ground from chassis GND LIFT ground. The switch can be activated to eliminate ground loop humming which may occur if the MixDreamXP is connected to units with a different ground potential. The switch should normally be in the GND position to maintain the shielding effect of the metal housing. -
