Chapter 1 – Introduction
Figure 1 - The mixIT-12 console.
Thank you for purchasing a mixIT Audio Console System. The mixIT is an affordable, easy to use
Audio overIP system. With support for Ravenna, Livewire+, and AES-67 AoIP built in and Dante
support available as a plug-in option, the mixIT is easy to integrate into an existing AoIP facility
or the perfect introduction to the world of AoIP.
The mixIT is powered by the JET67 Audio Engine. The JET-67 is where all of the audio and
network connections are made. It also delivers power to the audio console. We designed the
JET67 to have sufficient inputs and outputs to connect most studio equipment for the room
based on fader size.
A 4 port Ethernet switch is built into the JET-67. It has two 1GB ports and 2 10/100 ports. The
Ethernet connections are used to configure the engine and to connect Audio over IP devices.
Logitek customers with older JetStream Mini and JetStream Plus Audio Engines can also use the
mixIT console in place of the JET-67 with a special power supply available from Logitek. The
setup of these systems is covered in a different manual.

JET-67 DANTE
This is a card that plugs into the main DSP board of the JET-67 and adds 64 x 64 channels of
Dante networking in addition to the AES-67 networking built into the JET67.
Practically speaking, it’s more audio networking than you’ll ever need for a 12 or 6 fader
console, but that means you’ll never run out of networking power, either.
If you did not order the JET-67 DANTE card when you bought your system and decide to add it
later, it can be installed in the field. The only tool you will need is a screwdriver.
About Logitek
Founded in 1979 by two Rice University students, Logitek has made audio consoles for
television and radio for more than 40 years. After helping found the campus radio station and
installing a donated audio console at KTRU, the pair decided they could design a better one
themselves and the company was born.
In the late 1990s, Logitek was the first North American company to offer a router-based digital
console. Its first virtual PC-based console was introduced in 1999. By 2009, the company had
pivoted to television, offering both physical and virtual consoles that seamlessly interface to
production workflow automation systems.
mixIT represents Logitek’s return to its radio roots, offering a simple user interface, modern
control, and the latest in standards-based networking technology at an attractive price.
Our vision for Audio over IP is simple: we believe that over time, every piece of audio
equipment will have an Ethernet jack on it, and it should be as easy to connect something to
the audio network as it is to plug an XLR into an analog or digital board.
Continuous Innovation Since 1979

Chapter 2 – System Configuration
Figure 4 - Front view, JET67 Audio Engine
With its silent, fanless operation, the JET-67 Audio Engine is designed to be installed in the
studio with the audio console.
System Requirements
The following is necessary to configure your system:
• A computer running Windows 10
• An Ethernet adapter to connect your computer to the JET67
• JetStream Server, available at https://logitek.link/XXXXXXX
• A web browser, such as Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Microsoft Edge. Firefox is not
supported.
Connecting the Console to the JET-67 Audio Engine
Using the supplied standard CAT-5 cable, plug one end into the RJ-45 port on the back of the
JET-67 and the other end into the RJ-45 port on the back of the console.
While we use a standard Ethernet cable for this connection, this is NOT an
Ethernet connection, so don’t plug it into an Ethernet switch! The console and
JET-67 communicate via a RS-485 serial connection. We are also sending
power on one pair of wires and AES-3 digital audio on another pair of wires to
drive the cue speaker.
We recommend CAT-5 for this connection to adequately provide power to the console. CAT-6
and/or thin ribbon network cable generally use thinner wire which won’t work for this purpose.
Good old-fashioned CAT-5 or CAT-5e will always work, even at a distance of 25 feet.

Audio Connections Overview
The JET67 uses quick-connect Phoenix-style terminal connectors. Insert tinned wire into the slot
and tighten the screw to secure the wire. Each terminal block has a positive terminal, negative
terminal, and common ground.
Figure 5 - rear view, JET67 for mixIT12
The JET67 works best with balanced audio. If you have an unbalanced input, we recommend
jumpering negative to ground.
Unlike a traditional audio console, the mixIT controls an audio router. Therefore, you’ll notice
there isn’t an output that’s labeled “program” or “monitor.” You decide where you want to
wire your inputs and outputs and then configure everything in the software.
Instead of having an A/B switch over the fader, you’ll choose in the software what sources are
allowed on each fader. You can have as many or as few choices as you’d like.
In the software, you will choose how many channels and input or output has (stereo or mono).
You can split a stereo pair into two mono channels on either an analog or digital input or
output.
Note that if you route a stereo mix to a mono output, the JET67 will NOT sum the two channels;
you will hear left channel only. (However, if you’re wiring up an AM radio station, we do offer a
mono program mix output so we can sum program for you.) If you route a mono input (such as
a microphone) into a fader, the JET67 will copy the left channel to the right so the input will
feed both left and right.

Connecting Your Computer To The JET67
Overview
We use a program called JetStream Server to make an IP connection to the DSP card inside the
JET67 to configure the engine.
JetStream Server, in turn, serves web pages to your web browser to enter information and
upload to the engine.
Your configuration is stored in memory on the JET67. After you have configured the JET67 you
can disconnect your PC and the audio engine will continue to control the computer. It is not
necessary for JetStream Server to be connected to operate the console.
The configuration will remain in memory on the JET67 even if power is disconnected.
You can save the configuration in a JET67 to an .XLS file and keep it backed up and you can
restore that .XLS file to the JET67 using JetStream Server.
