How to Use This Manual 
 
This manual is divided into the following sections describing the 
various functions and applications for the MultiMix 8 USB. While 
it's a good idea to read through the entire manual once carefully, 
those having general knowledge about mixing should use the table 
of  contents to look up specific functions. 
 
Chapter 1: Getting Started shows you how to include the MultiMix 8 
USB in your audio setup for recording and live applications. We’ve 
included a hookup diagram, guidelines for which cables to use and 
the vital steps you must take to set levels properly. 
 
Chapter 2: A Tour of  the MultiMix describes the MultiMix 8 USB 
piece by piece. This chapter also features diagrams of  the mixer to 
help you find each component as you read about it. 
 
Chapter 3: Digital Effects Processor explains the effects provided by 
the on-board digital effects processor. If  you want to know what a 
certain effect will do to your sound before you select it, this is 
where you should look.  
 
Chapter 4: Applications outlines a number of  scenarios in which 
you can use the MultiMix 8 USB, including some tips on what 
goes where when you’re hooking everything up.  
 
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting can give you a hand if  you’re experiencing 
problems with your mixer. You’ll find that most issues can be 
resolved simply and quickly with the push of  a button. 
 
Chapter 6: Specifications and Chapter 7: Block Diagram are full of  
technical information for the more advanced users. 
 
And at the end of  this manual you’ll see a glossary of  common 
mixing-related terms and a page about the MultiMix 8 USB’s 
warranty. 
Helpful tips and advice are 
highlighted in a shaded box 
like this.

A Few Words for Beginners  
 
We realize that some of  you who have purchased the MultiMix 8 
USB are fairly new to the art of  mixing, and we’ve written this 
manual with that in mind. We also designed the MultiMix 8 USB to 
be both powerful and easy enough to use that even a beginner can 
quickly pick up the basics.  
 
Many mixer manuals—and manuals for just about any electronic 
instrument for that matter—are full of  complicated terminology 
and incomplete instructions that presume a lot of  experience on 
the part of  the reader. We try to avoid that with this manual. True 
enough, you will find all the technical lingo and specifications you 
can handle in here, but we do our best to make this accessible to 
you.  
 
Beginners will find several elements of  this manual especially 
useful. Keep your eye out for the tips found in the gray boxes on 
the right side of  the page. Be sure to check out the hookup 
diagrams on page 7, which will give you some ideas on how to fit 
the mixer into your audio setup after you’ve taken a tour of  the 
mixer in Chapter 2. And if  you come across any terms that you 
haven’t seen before, the glossary probably can help you out. 
 
 
 
 
One of the most important 
things you’ll do before you 
begin a mixing session is to 
set the levels. Be sure to refer 
to the instructions on page
