SETUP AND OPERATION Although the MIX-16/MIX-32 is the Livemix central mixer and power distributor, there aren’t any direct controls. Setting up the MIX-16/MIX-32 is simple and all configuration is done on a Livemix personal mixer (See the CS-SOLO or CS-DUO User Guide). 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/MIX-32. Shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable is required to make this connection.

TROUBLESHOOTING The Livemix MIX-16/MIX-32 is not powering on correctly. I am not seeing the “Livemix Data” light illuminate. I was planning on feeding the MIX-16/MIX-32 from my digital mixer, but do not see the right connector to use on the MIX-16/MIX-32. There is a clicking or popping sound in my mix. LIVEMIX MIX-16/32 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.
