Simple Live Setup 
 
Connect your instruments and microphones to the mono and 
stereo channels, making sure to properly set the level of  each 
channel.   
 
You can select one on-board effect and control its level with the 
AUX B knob for each channel. You can also use an external 
effects processor by sending a signal to the external unit via the 
AUX SEND A and returning it via AUX RETURN A (you’ll 
probably want to set AUX SEND A to POST, for “post-fader.”).  
 
If  you wish, you can use a second external effects processor via 
AUX SEND B and AUX RETURN B.  However, note that use of  
an external effects processor on these jacks disables the internal 
effects. 
 
Connect the MAIN MIX OUT to a PA system amplifier.  For 
monitoring purposes, you can connect the CTRL RM OUT to a 
headphone amplifier. You could also connect a digital equalizer 
(like the Alesis DEQ-230D) between the DIGITAL OUTPUT 
and a PA system for extra tone control.  
 
By muting channels and pressing the ALT 3/4-to-HDPH/CTRL 
RM button in, you can audition a channel before you bring it into 
the mix, making sure the levels are OK before the audience hears 
it. 
 
 
Using Additional External Audio 
Sources 
 
The MultiMix gives you a few extra audio inputs in addition to 
the mic and line inputs. If  you want to bring external audio 
sources into a recording or live mix, you can do it in one of  two 
ways: 
 
Using the 2-TRACK IN, you can add a tape deck, 
ADAT, CD player, Firewire audio stream from a 
computer, or other source to the mix. The 2-TRACK 
IN also can be used to entertain the audience with a CD 
as the band is setting up for a live show.  
 
The AUX RETURNS can be used as additional audio 
inputs when you are not using them for effects.  
 
 
S/PDIF digital output to a digital 
recorder 
 
Connect the S/PDIF DIGITAL OUTPUT of  your MultiMix 
console to the DIGITAL IN on your external digital recorder 
(12-channel and 16-channel models only).   
 
Audio coming into the 
MultiMix from a computer 
over the Firewire connection 
is routed to the 2-TRACK IN.    
 
You can use the RCA jacks of 
the 2-TRACK IN at the same 
time as audio is playing back 
from a computer, but you 
must adjust the relative levels 
of each input from outside the 
MultiMix. 
The S/DPIF output operates 
at 24 bits.  This is compatible 
with devices like CD 
recorders that operate at 16 
bits:  the least significant bits 
are simply ignored by the 16-
bit device.
