Operating Your MX24: The Basics
1) Connect a source of up to four channels to inputs A or B on the rear — any format as
appropriate to your model - analogue, AES or Dante via the Network Audio Ethernet
ports. In the case of Dante inputs, make sure they are correctly subscribed from the
upstream device. A list of all the Dante channel names is in Appendix III on page 38.

2) For the chosen input sets, A or B, make sure the correct input source has been
selected in the PRIMARY Input Source section on the front panel. Make sure the
BACKUP Source Selection is set to OFF (if the button is not illuminated, that is
because the PRIMARY source has been set to Analogue — this is by design).

3) If the Input Source Select button starts to flash, the chosen digital source is not
connected correctly — see page 26 for more information.
4) Connect up to four outputs of any format - Analogue, AES (MX24-A)
or Dante (MX24-D) - to the downstream device (amplifiers or system processor). In
the case of a Dante connection, ensure that the channels are correctly subscribed
through Dante Controller.
5) If required, plug in headphones and use the Line Monitoring section to check the
integrity of the connected sources by sequencing through the input sets’ sources and
individual channels — the meter shows the input level.
6) Press the Console Select sections A or B buttons to switch the source channels to the
outputs. The selections are not mutually exclusive so both can be active.
And that’s it! You should now be able to switch between different sets of inputs through to the
main outputs!
