Alesis 12 FireWire Benutzerhandbuch

 

 

When connecting instruments and other equipment to the 

MultiMix, it’s important that you use the appropriate types of  

cables. Here are some simple but important guidelines: 

 

y 

For the mic inputs, use XLR cables. 

y 

For the line inputs and all other 1/4” connections, use 1/4” 

mono TRS cables. 

y 

Use stereo RCA cables for the 2-track in and out. 

y 

Use a Firewire (IEEE 1394a) cable to connect one of  the 

Firewire ports to a computer.   

y 

For the S/PDIF Digital out, we suggest that you use a 

coaxial cable that is specifically designed for S/PDIF 

applications.   These cables are better suited for high 

frequency (digital) signals and are unbalanced, shielded 

coaxial cables with shielded RCA connectors on each end.  

Better to get the high quality S/PDIF cables and save 

yourself  some unnecessary grief.  

 

Before you can begin mixing and recording different audio sources 

with your MultiMix, you must set the level for each channel you’re 

using. This helps to prevent distortion and clipping. Here’s how:

 

1.  Slide the channel fader to unity gain (0). 

 

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.  Press the PFL / SOLO switch on the channel. 

 

5.  Make sure the SOLO MODE switch in the master section is 

set to SOLO. 

 

6.  Play the instrument at a normal level and watch the LED 

meters in the master section. 

 

7.  Adjust the channel’s GAIN knob until the LED meters remain 

at or very close to 0. 

 

8.  If  you need to apply EQ, do so and check the meters again.
