Mixer Hardware: Inputs
You already hooked up a mic
to the channel 8 input and got
signal out of the speakers and
headphones. This means that there
are an additional 15 inputs at your
1
disposal!
All channels may accept a mic or
line-level signal on an XLR connector,

while channels 13-16
a 1/4" line-level signal.
The steps for setting the
levels on the remaining channels
is exactly the same as it was for
channel 8 (as described in the
previous two pages, 6-7).

. Here you becomes clear when it is controlled
wirelessly. All that's necessary is to
connect it to a Wi-Fi access point.
It is possible to utilize an existing
network, but with a dedicated Wi-Fi
router, you have complete control
of the router, resulting in the best
possible performance.
Nearly any Wi-Fi router found at a
reputable store will work. There are
four things to look for:
(1) Ethernet connection. Make
sure the Wi-Fi router connects via
Ethernet, NOT USB!
(2) DHCP. The router needs to be
able to assign an IP address to the
mixer.
