1. A mix minus is a mix of all of the sources the caller shall hear, minus the output of the Telos. This is
necessary because the callers can already hear themselves over the phone line, so it is not necessary
(and undesirable) to send the callers’ audio back to them via the hybrid.
2. Determine your Mix Minus configuration, then proceed to the appropriate step below.

Telos recommends connecting your Hx6 to professional-grade audio equipment with balanced audio connections.
If your Hx6 must connect to semi-pro "unbalanced" audio inputs or outputs, we recommend using a two-way,
external balanced / unbalanced line level converter. Common models include the "Matchbox", "ProMatch", and
"CleanBox Pro", as well as other model names.
SEPARATE - (Default) -
each hybrid has its own independent input and output.

inputs for the two channels designated for callers on your console.

Both the Telos Hx6 and iQ6 have an Ethernet connection
on the rear panel. The iQ6 has no traditional audio
I/O; as such it is used exclusively in Livewire network
installations. An iQ6 and any VSet6's will be connected
only to a Livewire network using qualified and properly
configured Ethernet switches. If a Telos Hx6 is installed
using Livewire for audio I/O, then it also must be
connected to a Livewire network using qualified and
properly configured Ethernet switches. Refer to Axia
manuals and other Axia support documents for further
information about Livewire networks and qualified
Ethernet switches.
Most users of a Telos Hx6 will use the traditional audio
I/O connections - analog or AES digital. The Livewire
audio I/O capability will be disabled (this is the default
setting in the Hx6) and the Ethernet jack is used only
to communicate with any VSet6's or PCs running call
screening software. As no Livewire Audio over IP is used
in non-Livewire settings, a simple, unmanaged Ethernet
switch may be used. This Ethernet switch provides
network connections for the Hx6 to communicate with
any VSet6 phones, as well as call screener PCs. When
using a switch not configured for Livewire AoIP, it's
important to never enable the Hx6's Livewire audio
capabilities, as some or all network communications
may be lost when Livewire is enabled on the Hx6.
