INTRODUCTION

Thank you and congratulations for purchasing

 myMix

, the first networked personal 

mixer and multi-track recorder built for professionals. 

myMix

 has been designed with 

two main goals: to enable musicians to hear their music the way they want to hear it 
and to allow them to capture performances in multi-track recordings to optional SD or 
SDHC cards. 

myMix

 puts each musician in control of his or her own sound, with an 

intuitive user interface designed for creative people. 

myMix

 will forever change the 

way you make music by taking the experience of creating music to new levels. This 
owner's manual covers all basic information in a step by step process. Please take the 
time and read it carefully. 

myMix

 is an audio mixing system that allows every user to create his or her own mix, 

whether monitoring with headphones, ear plugs, or a speaker system. Each unit has 
two  combination  mic/line  inputs,  balanced  stereo  outputs,  and  headphone  jack. 
Additional signals can be brought into the system using the IEX-16L, 16-channel line 
level input expander. On every myMix the user can choose up to 16 channels á la carte 
from all signals on the network for an individual mix.

 A 

myMix

 system is different in that it doesn't require a master unit. The connection of 

the  individual  units  is  accomplished  using  common  Ethernet  CAT5  cabling  and  a 
100MBs Fast Ethernet switch (see chapter Switches for system using more than 16 
audio channels). Once a unit is connected to the network, each input source (e.g. 
microphone  or  instrument)  can  be  available  on  all 

myMix

  units  allowing  a  user  to 

create an individual mix without affecting others on the network.

 myMix

 can record up 

to 18 tracks of multi-track audio to an optional SD or SDHC card. Two of those tracks 
are reserved for a stereo track that is an exact copy of your individual mix, including all 
effects, panning, volume and tone adjustments. The remaining tracks (up to 16) are 
sourced directly, unaffected and ready to be imported into the recording software of 
your choice. All audio files are recorded in 24-bit, 48 kHz time-stamped .wav files. 

This manual also describes the new features since the original 1.23 release:

 - Unlimited network channels 
 - Select audio channels from network à la carte
 - Configuration of the IEX-16L input expander
 - Play Along (play back tracks from SD card and mix with local inputs)
 - Looping and locator points for play back and play along
 - Send mix to network
- Detecting SD cards not compliant with SDA2.0
