CONTENTS OF BOX • AD-24 • External 12VDC Power Supply INTRODUCTION The Livemix AD-24 is the the bridge betwen your analog console and the Livemix system. The AD-24 receives line level audio signals and converts them to the Livemix Data format. Livemix audio data is sent from the AD-24 to the MIX-16/32 over a single shielded CAT5 or CAT6 network cable.

SETUP DIAGRAMS CONNECTING THE AD-24 TO A MIXER/SNAKE/INTERFACE NOTE: The AD-24 is a line level source. If ANALOG MIXER/SNAKE/INTERFACE you are using a snake or interface, please make sure that you are using a microphone preamplifier to bring microphone level signals up ANALOG MIXER/SNAKE/INTERFACE DB25 CABLE to line level signals.
SETUP AND OPERATION The AD-24 will most likely be installed in a rack near the NOTE: mixer, but this is not required. The MIX-16/32 will likely The most common audio source be placed near the stage. A single shielded CAT5 or for feeding the AD-24 inputs will CAT6 cable will connect the AD-24 to the MIX-16/32 and be the direct outs on an analog...
LIVEMIX SYSTEM EXAMPLES A Livemix system requires either an analog (AD-24) or digital input (option card), the MIX-16/32 central mixer, and at least one CS-DUO personal mixer. Below are some examples of what a basic system may look like. ANALOG INPUT SYSTEM DIGITAL INPUT SYSTEM 1 x AD-24 Analog Input Rack Unit 1 x MIX-16 Central Mixer...

Each console is different, but generally, when a digital signal is routed to an analog output, there is some form of gain control.
