During this period, Digital Audio Labs will, at its option, repair the defective unit or replace it with a new or rebuilt one.

CONTENTS OF BOX • MIX-16 • External Power Supply INTRODUCTION The MIX-16 is the Central Mixer of the Livemix system. Although the Control Surfaces are where most of the mixing is controlled, the actual mixing happens in the MIX-16.
4. Control Surface Ports: Each port supplies both power and audio to connected Control Surfaces through a standard CAT5 cable. Two indicator lights on each port report device status information. • The green light will illuminate when a CS-DUO has a valid connection with the MIX-16. • The yellow light is a fault indicator. It may illuminate briefly when each control surface is powered on. If it remains lit, this indicates a problem with the port, the CAT5 cable or the CS-DUO.

SETUP AND OPERATION Although the MIX-16 is the Central Mixer of the Livemix system, there are no direct controls. Setting up the MIX-16 is simple and all configuration is done through an attached Control Surface (covered in the CS-DUO manual). 1. If using the analog input, connect the Livemix Data Out port on the AD-24 to the Livemix Data In port on the MIX-16. Please use shielded CAT5 or CAT6 cable to make this connection. If using an option card, you will not use the Livemix Data In port. 2.
LIVEMIX SYSTEM OVERVIEW There are three components required to make a Livemix system. Each system will have either an analog or digital input unit, a central mixer unit, and at least one attached control surface. Input Options Users with analog source material will use the AD-24. Using the TRS or DB-25 inputs, audio from the source material is made available to the Livemix system. Users with digital source material will use the Dante Option Card (LM-DANTE-EXP).
TROUBLESHOOTING My MIX-16 is not powering on correctly. • Verify that you have connected the external power supply to a working power outlet • Verify that the front panel power switch is set to ON. I am not seeing the “Livemix Data” light illuminate. If the Livemix Data light is not illuminating, there is a problem with the power to the MIX-16. Check to make sure that the power supply is connected to the MIX-16 and that all the cables are secure.
