MDB-USB Stereo Direct Box
Hookup Diagram
As you can see in this hookup diagram, the MDB-USB is a convenient stereo direct box to add to the chain.
Let’s look at the front panel connections first. Start by simply connecting a USB cable from the computer’s
USB slot to the MDB-USB input jack. And end by simply connecting a pair of headphones to the phones
1/8" output jack. Front panel connections made!
The rear panel connections are as straighforward as the front panel connections. Here we connected
the XLR L/R line output jacks of the MDB-USB to the inputs of a Mackie 1202VLZ4 mixer. The outputs
of the mixer are then connected to the inputs of the house PA loudspeaker system.
That was our part. The next part is up to you... crank up and get the floor shakin’!
