INTRODUCTION
Thank you and congratulations for purchasing myMix, the first networked personal
mixer and multi-track recorder built for professionals. myMix has been designed with
two main goals: to enable musicians to hear their music the way they want to hear it
and to allow them to capture performances in multi-track recordings to optional SD or
SDHC cards. myMix puts each musician in control of his or her own sound, with an
intuitive user interface designed for creative people. myMix will forever change the
way you make music by taking the experience of creating music to new levels. This
owner'smanual covers all basicinformationin a step bystepprocess. Please takethe
timeandreaditcarefully.
myMix is an audio mixing system that allows every user to create his or her own mix,
whether monitoring with headphones, ear plugs, or a speaker system. Each unit has
two combination mic/line inputs, balanced stereo outputs, and headphone jack.
Additional signals can be brought into the system using the IEX-16L, 16-channel line
levelinputexpander.OneverymyMixtheusercanchooseupto16channelsálacarte
fromallsignalsonthenetworkforanindividualmix.
AmyMix system is different in that it doesn't require a master unit.The connection of
the individual units is accomplished using common Ethernet CAT5 cabling and a
100MBs Fast Ethernet switch (see chapter Switches for system using more than 16
audio channels). Once a unit is connected to the network, each input source (e.g.
microphone or instrument) can be available on all myMix units allowing a user to
createan individual mix without affecting others on the network. myMix canrecord up
to 18 tracks of multi-track audio to an optional SD or SDHC card. Two of those tracks
arereservedfora stereo track that is an exact copy of your individual mix, including all
effects, panning, volume and tone adjustments. The remaining tracks (up to 16) are
sourced directly, unaffected and ready to be imported into the recording software of
yourchoice.Allaudiofilesarerecordedin24-bit,48kHztime-stamped.wavfiles.

CONNECTIONS
Inputs
myMix has two balanced XLR/¼” combo input connectors for microphone (XLR) and
line level ( ¼”) signals. Before you connect anything to the inputs, make sure the gain
control pots [14 and 15] are turned fully counter clockwise. Take your time to insure
thatyouareconnectingthecorrect device output to the correct input as a mistake can
resultin a distorted signal or additional humandnoise.Seethe back of the manual for
technicalspecificationsandconnectorpinout. Setting Input Gain
After you have made the proper connections to the inputs and turned the input gain
knobs fully counter-clockwise, it is time to adjust input gain. Play the source
(instrumentormicrophone)attheloudestlevelyouanticipateitproducing.Slowlyturn
the gain knob clockwise, watching the respective channel LED for signal. As signal
gain is brought up on the device you will see the channel LED turn green. If you don't
see the channel LED turn green, check your connection and the output level of your
source. Continue to bring up the gain until the LED starts to turn red (clip), then slowly
turn the gain knob counter clockwise until the LED no longer turns red. Repeat this
processforbothchannels.
Turning clockwise increases, turning counter
clockwise reduces the gain level.
NOTE: The gain setting is extremely important. While the mix you create with myMix
is your individual mix, the gain setting influences the signal for the entire system, as
wellasfor recording.In additiontotheredLEDoneach unit,ifaninputgainisclipping
the name of the channel will flash red on all units, giving your band mates an
opportunitytoalertyoutotheproblem.
Outputs
Thestereo mix you createonmyMix isavailable on the headphone jack[16]andas a
balanced line level signal on the two ¼” phone jacks on the rear panel. [10 & 11]. The
balanced outputs will drive an external amplifier, a powered speaker or any other
devicethatacceptsalinelevelsignal.

and cause hearing loss!
Power
myMix can be powered using the included external power supply, or by a POE

Network- systems with a maximum of 16 audio
channels
Atypical myMix system consists of multiple units. myMix units connect to each other
with common CAT5 cabling through a standard off-the-shelf unmanaged 100MB Fast
Ethernet switch. If you are just using two myMix units, or a myMix and one IEX-16L,
you can connect them directly to each other without the need for a switch. Three or
more units in a system will require a switch. For up to 16 audio channels most off-the
shelfswitcheswork.
NOTE:Don'tcombinemyMix unitswithothernetworkabledevices,themyMixsystemnetwork
needs to be exclusive. It is not possible to combine several myMix units in a network with other
networkabledevicessuchasPCs,routers,modemsorprinters.
Network- systems with more than 16 audio channels
AudiosignalsonthemyMix networkarestreamedinpairsasonestereosignal,ortwo
individual mono signals. Each myMix can create a mix using up to 16 audio channels
(or 8 pairs). Using one or several IEX-16L input expanders, the amount of total
availablechannels on thenetworkcan easily exceedthatnumber.Whatisrequired, is
a managed switch that supports IGMP snooping and is configured accordingly. The
amount of audio channels on the network is capped by the number of multi-cast
groups the switch supports. A typical value for managed switches is 256 multicast
groups(= 256audiopairs),whichequals512individualaudiosignals.
Selecting and Configuring Ethernet Switches
Managed switches usually require additional configuration before you can use them
with myMix, even if you are not using more than 16 channels on the network. Here

Pan
By pushing the soft key labeled PAN, you can control where the signal appears in the
stereofield.
Keep in mind that if you are listening on a
mono device, panning a mono signal fully
to the unused output will make the signal
disappear. This also applies to stereo
signals as they default to 100% left and
100%right.Thedefaultpositioniscenter.
For a stereo signal, the panorama turns
into a BALANCE control. Each individual
channel of a stereo signal is routed 100%
to the left or right by default. BALANCE
allows you to move the stereo image to
eitherside.

Here you will find everything not directly involved with mixing: input configuration,
naming of your device, send mix to network, channel selection, playback of recorded
sessions,masterequalizerandmanymore.
Profiles
A profile stores all of the settings related to a mix and is automatically updated the
moment you make a change. This includes channel selection, input mode, input
naming, volume, tone, mute, solo, pan, effect settings and master EQ. Profiles allow
you to use your myMix in a variety of situations with different inputs, outputs and
settings, eliminating the need to constantly reconfigure your unit. Especially when you
use myMix in different scenarios - with different input sources and in-ear as well as

MONO - enables only input 1, input 2 is not activated. It will not show up on the mix
screen. This mode is to save space on the screen and recording capacity on the SD
