To utilize the second available mix on this MIX-16/MIX32 port, connect a CAT5e or CAT6 cable (shielded recommended) from the CS Port Thru on the first CS-SOLO to the CS Port In on the second CS-SOLO.
CONNECTING TO IEMS, HEADPHONES AND MONITORS The Master Output settings on the personal mixer provide for either stereo headphone or balanced mono outputs. The ⅛” and ¼” jack output is identical and either can be used. It is recommended to use either the ⅛” or ¼” jack and not both. OPTIONAL - CONNECTING TO A DA-816 ANALOG OUTPUT RACK UNIT Personal mixes can be assigned to the optional Livemix DA-816 analog output rack unit from the CS-SOLO/CS-DUO touchscreen.
GENERAL CONCEPTS To best understand how to use the CS-DUO, it is helpful to become familiar with some important concepts. 1. The CS-DUO provides two separate mixers in one hardware unit. 2. Some adjustments are local and apply only to your mix. Others are global and apply to the entire system. 3. The most used functions are available on the touchscreen and knobs. This makes it easy to access critical mix functions and makes it simple for anyone to use with very little training. 4.
LOCAL VS. GLOBAL LOCAL FUNCTIONS Each CS-DUO can make changes to a local personal mix or be used to make changes that effect the entire system. Local changes are those that apply to your personal mix only. These include: • Volume and pan adjustments • Master Output Settings • Local Mix Options GLOBAL FUNCTIONS Global changes not only affect your mix but also the other personal mixers in the system.
CHANNEL OVERVIEW VS. SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW Livemix provides a Channel Overview and a Single Channel View. The Channel Overview is best for mixing, as it allows you to quickly identify which channels you want to adjust. The Single Channel View provides additional functions. From here, you have access to mixing a single channel and also other functions; Channel Naming, Channel EQ/Dynamic Presets and mute and solo. LONG PRESS a channel to access the Single Channel View from the Channel Overview.
CHANNEL OVERVIEW The Channel Overview is the default view when the Livemix CS-DUO personal mixer is powered up. Most mixing will be performed on this screen. Each channel in the Channel Overview shows the following information: 1. CHANNEL NUMBER: This is the number of the audio channel. The Livemix system allows up to 24 input channels. 2. CHANNEL NAME: This is the custom channel name. CHANNEL OVERVIEW 3. SIGNAL LEVEL INDICATOR: This indicator serves as a signal level meter for the channel.
ACCESSORY CHANNELS In addition to the 24 channels of audio, Livemix provides four Accessory Channels. PRESS Accessory Channels on the Channel Overview screen to reach the accessory channels page. Each accessory channels can be blended into your mix the same as any other channel. Some of the Accessory Channels offer additional features through their respective Single Channel View screens. They can be accessed by LONG PRESSING the channel.
USING THE OPTIONAL LM-MICPRE The LM-MICPRE is am optional microphone preamp for using an external dynamic mic as an alternative to the built-in intercom mics. Using an external dynamic microphone as the intercom mic will provide a higher quality intercom with significantly reduced background noise. ATTACHING THE LM-MICPRE 1. Connect the included USB cable and 1/8” TRS cable to the LM-MICPRE and feed the loose ends through the MT-1. 2.
• ALWAYS ON: The intercom microphone is always on and passing audio to the Intercom Channel of other personal mixers. • LATCH: Press the Intercom Button to activate the intercom. Press the Intercom Button again to deactivate the intercom. • PUSH TO TALK (default operation): Press and hold the intercom button to activate the intercom. Release the Intercom Button to deactivate the intercom. FOOT PEDAL OPERATION The optional FP-2 foot pedal can be configured to work in intercom mode.
METRONOME The personal mixer contains an internal metronome. When the Metronome is activated, everyone can hear the click track as long as the Metronome volume is turned up in their mix. Metronome configuration is accessible by LONG PRESSING the channel, to enter Single Channel View. BPM (BEATS PER MINUTE) BPM displays the current tempo. The quickest way to set a tempo is to PRESS BPM and use the ADJUST knob to increase or decrease tempo. MET ON/OFF Met On/Off turns the metronome off and on.
MIX TOOLS The Mix Tools menu provides access to Local Mix Options, MirrorMix® Remote Mixing, Global Configuration and Load/Save Personal Mix. To view the Mix Tools, PRESS Mix Tools on the Channel Overview. LOCAL MIX OPTIONS The Local Mix Options provide the user with deeper local mix features. These features and functions pertain to the local mix only and will not impact other personal mixes.
LOCAL MIX OPTIONS SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW This provides an alternate way to get to the Single Channel View. It is the same as performing a LONG PRESS on a channel. For more details, see the Single Channel View section. MASTER OUTPUT SETTINGS The Mix Output Settings are options that pertain to the overall output of the Livemix mixer. These settings affect the stereo or mono mix. Another way to access these options is to PRESS the Master Volume Knob. For more details, see the Mix Output Settings section.
SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW SCREEN Most mixing can be performed on the Channel Overview screen. However, Livemix provides a number of professional tools that can be used to help create a better mix. These features are accessed from the Single Channel View. To access Single Channel View: • LONG PRESS the channel -or• PRESS Mix Tools from the Channel Overview, SELECT Local Mix Options and then SELECT Single Channel View. SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW 1. CHANNEL NUMBER/NAME: This shows the channel number and name.
CHANNEL NAMING Custom channel names can be assigned to each of the 24 incoming audio channels. Channel names are displayed in both the Channel Overview screen and the Single Channel View screen. To name a channel: • LONG PRESS the channel to enter Single Channel View. • LONG PRESS channel number/name at the top. • ENTER the channel name. • PRESS Done. • Use Next Channel or Previous Channel when naming multiple channels. • PRESS Done. NOTE: Channel names are global.
MUTE BUTTON PRESS Mute to silence the channel in a mix. A red indicator will illuminate in the Status Bar on the right. Mute is visible in the Channel Overview for the muted channel. Please note, if the Global Mute feature is enabled, a muted channel will be muted for everyone, or globally. If Global Mute is active, the Mute button will be replaced with a Global Mute button. See the Global Mute section of this guide. SOLO BUTTON PRESS Solo to silence all non-soloed channels in a mix.
CHANNEL EQ & DYNAMICS PRESETS The personal mixer allows you to select from a list of equalization and dynamics presets that enhance the sound of the selected channel. These presets are generic so be sure to listen to determine if a preset works for the source material. Adding or changing channel effects are global changes, not local changes. Any preset changes will be heard by everyone. Presets allow quick set up for EQ & Dynamics levels, for each of the 24 available channels.
CHANNEL EQ The 3-band EQ can be used to tailor the overall sound of the selected channel. The Channel EQ is a powerful tool. It is best to make small adjustments and continually listen to make sure that the changes enhance the source or make it fit better in the mix. TO ADJUST THE LEVEL OF THE THREE EQ BANDS: 1. While still on the EQ & Dynamics Preset screen, PRESS Channel EQ. 2. PRESS one of the three bands to adjust. 3. ROTATE the ADJUST knob to cut or boost the EQ band.
CHANNEL HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF) The High Pass Filter allows you to roll off some of the low frequencies that can lead to muddy sounding mixes. As the name implies, it lets the highs “pass through” and reduces the amount of low frequencies. Most channels that do not contribute to the low end of the mix, should use a HPF. To access the High Pass Filter, PRESS HPF Settings from the Channel EQ screen. PRESS one of the five HPF frequency choices: • OFF: HPF bypassed. • 40Hz: 40Hz or lower will be filtered out.
CHANNEL DYNAMICS Dynamics are the amount of difference, or the dynamic range, between the softest sound heard in a mix, and the loudest. To even out the dynamics in a mix, a compressor is used. To access the compressor, PRESS Channel Dynamics. The compressor has two controls; one is the amount of compression applied to the channel and the second is the type. ROTATE the ADJUST knob to adjust the amount of compression applied to the mix.
MASTER OUTPUT SETTINGS This screen allows you to make adjustments to the master output. Master output refers to the stereo left and right sound that you hear after combining all the 24 channels and Accessory Channels. The Master Output settings are saved with your personal mix. MASTER EQ The Master EQ is a three band EQ that helps shape the overall master output. It does not have the granularity of the Channel EQ and is designed to make subtle overall tonal changes.
HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF) A high-pass filter lets the high-frequencies pass through your mix unaffected, but filters away the low frequencies. This is a useful with monitors that have too high a bass-response. Applying a 80Hz to 120Hz High Pass Filter to floor monitors will help clean up your mix. SELECT one of the four HPF settings that sounds best to you. 3. OFF: High-Pass filter bypassed. 4. 40Hz: Only the very lowest frequencies, 40Hz or lower, will be filtered out. 5.
MASTER REVERB When you hear instruments in an acoustic space such as a concert hall, theater or stadium, you are always hearing the natural reverb of the environment. Livemix allows you to apply a reverb effect to your stereo mix, in order to make it sound more natural and mimic these effects. SELECT one of the four Reverb effect settings that sounds best to you. • OFF: Reverb bypassed. • SMALL ROOM/MEDIUM ROOM/LARGE ROOM: The effect will become heavier and denser sounding as the selected room gets larger.
MASTER OUTPUT The Master Output options allow you to select the type of output you will be using (stereo or mono), as well as adjust settings that pertain to the overall volume of your mix. HEADPHONES STEREO VS. BALANCED MONO This setting affects how the ⅛” jack (on the front of the unit) and the ¼” jack (on the back of the unit) output audio. The jacks on the personal mixer can be configured for a Stereo or a Mono mix.
GROUPS, STEREO GROUPS, ME GROUP It is often advantageous to group channels together so you can make volume adjustments to all the channels in the group at once. The most common channels to group are drums, stereo instruments (like keyboards) and background vocals. The CS-DUO allows you to create up to five standard groups. You can also link two adjacent channels in stereo pairs. Up to 12 stereo pairs are available. The ME group differs from other groups in that it has a dedicated knob.
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF THE ME GROUP To adjust the volume of the ME group, ROTATE the ME knob. ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF A SINGLE CHANNEL IN A GROUP From the Channel Overview: 1. SELECT the channel to adjust. A white border will outline the channel. 2. LONG PRESS the ADJUST knob to temporarily remove the channel from the group. The white outline of the selected channel will flash. 3. Use the ADJUST knob to adjust the volume of the channel. 4. PRESS the ADJUST knob to return the channel to the group.
LCD BRIGHTNESS This feature allows you to change the brightness of the Livemix LCD screen as well as turn Auto Dim on or off. To change the brightness of the LCD screen, turn the ADJUST knob. The Auto Dim feature will cause the LCD screen to reduce in brightness after 15 seconds of inactivity. Touching the screen or any control will bring the screen back to the preset brightness level. Turn the Auto Dim Off if you do not want the screen to automatically dim.
MUTE/SOLO OPERATION In Default Mute/Solo mode, Mute and Solo functions are accessed from the Single Channel View. The Quick Mute or Quick Solo functions allow you to extend either the mute or solo functionality to the Channel Overview. When Quick Mute or Quick Solo is selected, channels can be muted or soloed on the Channel Overview. By selecting a channel and then pressing the same channel again, the channel will be muted or soloed, depending on which Quick function is selected.

LIVEMIX SYSTEM EXAMPLES A Livemix system requires either an analog (AD-24) or digital input (option card), the MIX-16 or MIX32 central mixer and at least one Livemix personal mixer. The CS-SOLO is a single mix personal mixer and the CS-DUO is a dual mix personal mixer. A system with CS-DUOs provides the best value. We recommend using CS-DUOs, with CS-SOLOs for use at front of house, for drummers, keyboard players or for larger venues.
TROUBLESHOOTING My CS-DUO is not powering on. Verify that the standard network cable is connected from a MIX-16/MIX-32 port to the CS PORT on the CS-DUO. The green light on the CS PORT will light up green when power is connected and the yellow light will light when there is a problem receiving information from the MIX-16/MIX-32. NOTE: You cannot connect a CS-DUO to the CS Port Thru on a CS-SOLO. Verify that your MIX-16/MIX-32 is powered on.
MIX B doesn’t seem to be working. There is a clicking, popping or audio dropouts. The CS-DUO might be in the Linked Mode. PRESS and HOLD both Master Volume knobs to exit Linked Mode or power cycle the personal mixer. Audible clicking and popping is usually an issue with the clock source.
