Using Proper Cables
When connecting instruments and other equipment to the
iMultiMix, it’s important that you use the appropriate types of
cables. Here are some simple but important guidelines:
For the mic inputs, use XLR cables.
For the line inputs and all other 1/4” connections, use 1/4”
mono TRS cables.
Use stereo RCA cables for the 2-track in and out.
Use a USB cable to connect the USB port to a computer. Do
not use a USB hub, as hubs can introduce timing glitches in
USB communication.
Setting Levels
Before you can begin mixing different audio sources with your
iMultiMix, you must set the level for each channel you’re using.
This helps to prevent distortion and clipping. The idea is to get the
strongest signal possible without clipping. Here’s how:
1. Turn the channel level control to the 12:00 position.
2. Turn the AUX SEND and GAIN controls all the way down,
and turn the EQ knobs to the center detent (you’ll feel a click).
3. Connect the source of the signal to the channel’s input.
4. Play the instrument at a normal level and adjust the channel’s
gain slowly until the PEAK LED lights.
5. Slowly reduce the channel’s gain until the PEAK LED no
longer lights when you play.
6. If you need to apply EQ, do so and check the PEAK LED to
make sure it still does not light as you play.
