MixerConnect

Additional Bluetooth notes [Android and iOS]:

If the device had been previously connected 
to ProDX via Bluetooth, but it displays  
“Not Connected”, it’s quite possible that 
either the ProDX is not powered on or  

it needs to be manually reconnected (as described  
in steps 6-8).

The Bluetooth fader / volume control of  
the MixerConnect app is not the same  
as the OS / hardware Bluetooth level control, 

but rather a supplementary level control. In other 
words, the volume of the Bluetooth 

on the device

 need 

to be up in order to hear audio over Bluetooth. If this 
does not make sense, please refer to Appendix D: 
Optimizations for step-by-step instructions.

The Bluetooth may disconnect when  
affected by Electrostatic Discharge [ESD]  
or electrical fast transients (EFT). If this 

occurs, manually reconnect the Bluetooth connection.

A Bluetooth connection and 1/8" line-level 
connection may NOT be used simultaneously. 
If there is a physical connection to the  

stereo input, it will take priority over any Bluetooth  
connection. For example, if you are playing a song  
from a smart phone (connected via Bluetooth)  
and connect an MP3 player to the 1/8" jack, the smart 
phone song will be interrupted and the MP3 player  
now takes precedence.

Part III: Level Setting Procedure

These instructions may be found on page 4 of the 

ProDX Owner’s Manual

, but are listed again below:

The following steps will help you set up ProDX 

quickly.

These startup instructions are intended for 
the hardware only. Once proven that ProDX 
performs as desired, then pair it with a smart 
phone and control it via the MixerConnect 
app.

1. Make all initial connections with the power switch  

 OFF.

2. Connect cords from the main outs to powered   

  speakers (or to an amplifier connected to passive  
 speakers).

3. Plug signal sources into the ProDX’s Wide-Z

    

  combo inputs – 1/4" and XLR! – such as:

   • Microphones plugged into the mic inputs.
   • Instrument level sources, such as acoustic   

    guitars w/ active pickups and line-level sources  
    such as keyboards and drum machines plugged  
    into the 1/4" inputs.

   • Music playback source such as a smart phone,  

    computer or MP3 player plugged into the 1/8"  
    input or smart phone paired and connected  
    via Bluetooth.

4. Push the power supply connector securely into  

  the mixer’s connector and plug the other end into  
  an AC outlet.

5. Turn the ProDX on.

6. Turn the powered speakers (or amplifiers) on.

7. Be sure that the volume of the input is set  

 

  correctly. Select the input channel by pressing  
  the corresponding channel button and ensure  
  the level is about halfway. Adjust the rotary knob  
  if you need a different level for your source.

8. Slowly bring up the main output level to a  

 

  comfortable listening level by selecting the main  
  output on the front panel and slowly turning the  
  encoder to the right.

9. Read the rest of this reference guide and  

 the 

ProDX Owner’s Manual
