1 Getting Started

Hooking up the Multimix

This diagram will help you get the Multimix hooked up and ready
to go. The equipment you use depends on personal preference and
on whether you're performing live or recording. For example,
you'll see below that the MAIN MIX OUT can be routed to a
recording device for recording, or to a PA system for live
performance.

Using Proper Cables

When connecting instruments and other equipment to the
MultiMix, it's important that you use the appropriate types of
cables. Here are some simple but important guidelines:
For the mic inputs, use XLR cables.
For the line inputs and all other 1/4" connections, use 1/4"
mono TRS cables.
And use stereo RCA cables for the 2-track in and out.
Be sure to follow the
guidelines for which cables to
use (further down this page)
and the procedure for setting
levels (on the next page)
before you begin mixing.
