Your MultiMix-12FX can be used in a wide variety of ways in both
live and recording applications. You have several options for
bringing sound into and out of the board. And when it’s brought
in, you can route it to various parts of the mixer for certain desired
effects, or even send it to an external processor or tape deck and
back. To give you some ideas for different mixing scenarios, here
are descriptions of a few common applications for the MultiMix-
12FX.
Simple Recording Setup
In this setup, you connect your instruments and microphones to
the mono and stereo channels, making sure to properly set the
level of each channel. You connect your recorder (for example, a
4-track, ADAT, or a tape deck) via the 2-TRACK OUT jack. If
you want to output more than two tracks, use the ALT 3/4 OUT.
Just remember to activate the MUTE / ALT 3/4 switch for each
channel you want to feed into the ALT 3/4 OUT.
You can select one on-board effect and control its level with the
AUX B knob for each channel. Or you can use an external effects
processor by sending a signal to the external unit via the AUX
SEND A and returning it via AUX RETURN A (you’ll probably
want to set AUX SEND A to POST, for “post-fader.”). For
monitoring you can connect the CTRL RM OUT jacks to a
speaker or headphone amplifier, or just simply plug headphones
into the PHONES jack.
Simple Live Setup
This is similar to the recording setup. In a live setup, you most
likely will connect the MAIN MIX OUT to a PA system amplifier
and the CTRL RM OUT to a headphone amplifier for monitoring
purposes. Try connecting an external effects processor to the
MultiMix’s send and receive. Your headphones will allow you to
audition a channel before you bring it into the mix, making sure
the levels are OK before the audience hears it.
Using Additional External Audio Sources
The MultiMix-12FX gives you 12 audio inputs in all. If you want
to bring external audio sources into a recording or live mix, you
can do it in several different ways. Using the 2-TRACK IN, you
can add a tape deck, ADAT, CD player or other source to the mix.
The 2-TRACK IN also can be used to entertain the audience with
a CD as the band is setting up for a live show. The AUX
RETURNS can be used as additional audio inputs when you are
not using them for effects.
Be sure to use proper cables
when connecting instruments
and other equipment to the
MultiMix-12FX. The
guidelines on page 15 will
help.
