Please take a moment to read this brief manual. We want you to

We want you to gain benefit from its many features but most of
all we want you to ENJOY it!
The dual mix is a high-quality „two-channel“ preamplifier for
instrument/line or microphone signals. The unit offers simple,
efficient features just like a small mixing console:
– two inputs, each for one microphone or instrument and line-
level signal with switchable 24V-phantom-power
– separate active two-band EQ networks for each input
– a 4-preset multi-effects-unit with two reverbs, one echo and
one chorus
– a stereo aux-in
– line-out and DI-out
– plus a stereo-headphone-preamplifier
This makes the dual mix especially suited for the
following applications:
- as channel extension in connection with AER-amplifiers (the
line output of the dual mix is connected e.g. with an amp‘s
effects return)
- as instrument/microphone stage preamp (the line out or DI-
out of the dual mix is connected directly to the mixing-desk/
stagebox)
- as headphone rehearsal amplifier in connection with a stereo
headphone set
All pocket tools need energy for their high-grade circuits and
are powered by 24V-power-supplies. An appropriate supply is
included in delivery.
Read on and have fun using your
dual
mix 2!
