Overview
Introducing the RemoteMix One
JK Audio combines professional audio electronics with a exible communications
interface in a rugged new belt pack design. RemoteMix One™ offers a
professional look and feel to eld reporters and live remote talent.
RemoteMix One™ performs live man-on-the-street interviews through your
cell phone and can provide two-way IFB connections through a cell phone or
notebook for truly exible remote monitoring.
Connect to cell phones and notebooks through the wired headset jack. This
professional microphone preamp and powerful headphone amplier provide
a vast improvement in sound quality. A 3.5 mm stereo line input jack allows
recordings to be mixed into the broadcast. The 3.5 mm stereo line output jack
provides your full bandwidth microphone signal on the left channel and the return
audio on the right channel.
The stereo headphone output gives you a mix of the XLR microphone input,
3.5 mm input, and return audio. This powerful ½ watt stereo headphone amplier
will cut through any crowd noise.
Use as a headset replacement for normal voice calls, or transmit full bandwidth
audio using third party CODEC apps. Replaceable interface cables connect to
most phones and notebooks.

Controls & Indicators
2) Peak Indicator
The peak LED indicates clipping on
the input channel if the level is set
too high. The microphone and Aux
Send are a combined input. If you
see this red LED ashing, you should
decrease the Mic and/or Aux Send
input levels.
1) Mic Control
Controls the level of your microphone
input.

Signal Level Pots
There are two signal level pots on
the left side of the RemoteMix One
that can be adjusted with a small at
blade screwdriver. The left pot is to
adjust signal level to the phone. The
right pot is signal level from phone.
These allow a user to compensate for
differences between phones so that
the numbers on the thumb wheels
have a true meaning.

5) Mic Input
Connect your dynamic microphone
to the XLR jack. This device will
not provide phantom power for a
condenser type microphone.
You can use both the balanced
XLR and unbalanced 3.5 mm inputs
simultaneously. The line level Aux In
jack allows recordings to be mixed into
the broadcast with your microphone
to be sent out through the Headset
Interface.
Getting Connected
3) Stereo Line Level Output
The unbalanced 3.5 mm stereo xed
line level output jack provides your full
bandwidth microphone signal on the
left channel and the Headset Interface
audio on the right channel.
This stereo output jack allows you to
make a full bandwidth recording using
your favorite recorder for transfer back
at the station or over the web.
4) Stereo Line Level Aux In
Connect the output of your other audio
equipment to this unbalanced stereo
3.5mm Aux In jack. This enables you
to add background music or sound
clips to your remote broadcast.
This audio is not present at the
Stereo Output but will be sent to the
Headphone jack.

If I have an audio source
connected to the Aux In jack,
will that audio also be present
at the Output mini jack?
No, the stereo mini jack output only
contains audio from the Mic input
and the Headset Interface. This
input would be a good place to add
background music or sound clips
during a live interview that is being
sent to your broadcast studio via the
Headset Interface.
FAQs
How long will the battery last?
Based on our tests using a standard
alkaline battery, the battery should
last for >20 hours under normal use.
Lithium batteries can signicantly
increase the battery life, but at a
higher cost. As an indicator of low
battery, the red power LED will grow
dim and then extinguish a short
while before the battery is completely
exhausted and the unit shuts down.

FAQs 7
FAQs
Can I send and receive audio
at the same time?
Yes you can! You can have full duplex
conversations with your microphone
sent to the Left channel of the stereo
line output and the Headset Interface
audio sent to the Right channel.
Why is the peak LED still red
after I turned down the mic
volume level?
The microphone and Aux Send are
a combined input. If you see this red
LED ashing, you should decrease
the Mic and/or Aux Send input levels
until the combined input is no longer
clipping.
The cellular interface cable
was left behind at our last
event. Can I get a replacement
at our local audio supply
store?
This is a custom made cable and is
not wired the same as those that may
be available at your local electronics
store. Please contact your JK Audio
dealer or our Customer Service
department and ask for a CN113
replacement cable. The CN113 has
a 3.5 mm TRRS headset plug. Most
newer phones, especially those that
include a mp3 player, have a 3.5mm
TRRS headset jack and therefore
require the CN113 cable.
