Mixing Link User Guide Controls and Indicators 4
Mixing Link User Guide Controls and Indicators Controls and Indicators (1) INPUT GAIN Knob Sets the gain for Mixing Link’s microphone pre-amp. The total gain range available on the INPUT GAIN knob depends on the connector the signal is attached to and the setting of the GAIN button located on the right side of the Mixing Link, just above the “INST IN” jack. Each input connector yields different ranges for the INPUT GAIN knob.
Mixing Link User Guide Controls and Indicators (5) MIX MODE Toggle Switch This three-position switch determines how the DRY and FX Return signals interact when turning the MIX knob. The DRY signal is the signal at the output of the MIC pre-amp stage. The source for the DRY signal comes from either the MIC/LINE IN XLR connector or the INST IN ¼” phone jack. The FX Return comes from the “FROM FX” (RETURN) phone jack.
Mixing Link User Guide Controls and Indicators In the HOLD position, the footswitch becomes a momentary switch: when you press down and hold the footswitch, the FX Loop is activated (the status LED lights), upon releasing the footswitch, the FX Loop is deactivated (the status LED shuts off). Remember, in HOLD mode, you must push and hold the footswitch to activate the FX Loop.
Mixing Link User Guide I/O Connectors I/O Connectors INPUTS (13) MIC/LINE IN Combo XLR Connector MIC/ LINE IN connects directly to the MIC pre-amp gain stage. This combo connector accepts balanced signals on either an XLR connector or ¼” TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) plug. The XLR connector is best suited for microphones whereas the ¼” input is best for line level inputs.
Mixing Link User Guide I/O Connectors The “AUX” jack enables you to use your mobile device as an effects processor while keeping the rest of your effects chain signal path intact. It also allows Mixing Link to serve as an audio interface for recording directly into your mobile device. The “AUX” connector also allows for stereo playback of audio from an external source to be mixed with your mic or instrument.
