How to Use This Manual 
 
This manual is divided into the following sections describing the 
various functions and applications for the MultiMix-8FX. 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-
8FX 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-8FX 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-8FX, 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-8FX’s 
warranty. 
Helpful tips and advice are 
highlighted in a shaded box 
like this. 
When something important 
appears in the manual, an 
exclamation mark (like the 
one shown at left) will appear 
with some explanatory text.  
This symbol indicates that 
this information is vital when 
operating the MultiMix-8FX.
