Connections
Follow the instructions below to use the U-MIX44 and a DJ software (like
MixVibes CROSS or DVS 7) with a pair of decks and an external mixer.
1 If you are using vinyl, plug the ground of your turntable to the
grounding screw on the U-MIX44 or on your DJ mixer.
2 Connect the outputs of your decks (vinyl or CD) to the RCA
inputs of your U-MIX44 plugging the left deck into the inputs
1/2 and right deck into the inputs 3/4. Match the left channel
(usually white) with the white RCA sockets on the U-MIX44, and
right (usually red) with the red sockets.
3 Connect the outputs of your U-MIX44 to the line inputs of your
mixer. Using the included RCA cables, connect the outputs 1/2
into a line input of your mixer, then repeat for the outputs 3/4,
into another available line input of your mixer.
4Connect the U-MIX44 to a free USB slot of your computer.
