M•Caster LIVE Portable Live Streaming Mixer
5. USB I/O [Ch. 2]
This is an interface that allows audio to stream
to and from the M•Caster Live via computer.
This is the connection that may be used for gaming,
playing uploaded and/or downloaded streaming
content, playing music or just about any other sound
that is emitted to/from the computer. The volume
is controlled with the volume knobs [#0, #20].
Connect the USB-C side of a USB cable
(included in the packaging)to the M•Caster Live
and the USB-A side to the computer’s USB port.
Don’t forget to change the input and output
to ‘M•Caster Live’ via Settings on your computer.
M•Caster Live’s USB connection is audio only.
It is not a source of power.
6. /8" Instrument / Line Input Jack [Ch. 2]
Connect a line-level signal to this input jack using
an unbalanced /8" TRS connector (included in
the packaging). This may be an instrument connection,
such as a sampler or keyboard (or other), or perhaps
a secondary portable source, such as another
smartphone, MP3 player or just about any other
line-level signal. The volume is controlled with
the volume knobs [#0, #20].
It is wired as follows, according to standards
specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
Stereo /8" TRS
Sleeve = Shield (Ground)
Tip = Lef Channel
Ring = Right Channel
If connecting a device, keep in mind
that while the volume may be raised and
lowered via the M•Caster Live volume knobs,
the volume of the device also needs to be up.
7. /8" Smartphone Stereo Input Jack [Ch. 3]
Connect a line-level signal from a smartphone,
MP3 player or other signal source to this input
jack using an unbalanced /8" TRRS connector
(included in the packaging). The volume is controlled
with the volume knobs [#0, #20].
While the volume may be raised and lowered
via the M•Caster Live volume knobs,
the volume of the device also needs to be up.
8. /8" Headphones Output Jack
This /8" TRS connector supplies the output to stereo
earbuds, headphones or IEMs. The volume is controlled
with the main mix volume knob [#20].
The phones output is wired as follows, according
to standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering
Society):
Stereo /8" TRS
Sleeve = Shield (Ground)
Tip = Lef Channel
Ring = Right Channel
Warning: The headphone amp is loud and
could cause permanent hearing damage.
Even intermediate levels may be painfully
loud with some headphones. BE CAREFUL!
Always turn the volume knob all the way down before
connecting headphones. Then turn it up slowly as you
listen carefully.
9. /8" Speaker Output Jack
This /8" stereo output jack connects to the input of
powered monitors. The signal at this output is a direct
copy of the input signal.
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that we would
highly recommend any sized CR-X / CR-XBT monitors.
