The MX882 is de nitely one piece
of gear every audio engineer and
musician should always have close
at hand. This ultra- exible, little “life
saver” has proven invaluable time
and time again in live performances,
professional recording studios,
CD and digital production facilities,
and a variety of other scenarios
where the show simply had to go on!
The MX882 is ideal for distributing a
stereo signal to several outputs (splitter mode); combining multiple signals
into a stereo output (mixer mode), or adapting signal levels of signals
for a variety of audio applications (bu er ampli er). The ULTRALINK PRO
MX882 can perform all of these functions easily and simultaneously – it is
quite literally, the audio version of a “Swiss Army Knife”.

MX882
Ultra-Flexible 8-Channel Splitter/Mixer
It’s a Mixer – It’s a Splitter
Basically, the MX882 consists of 6 mono channels, which can be used either as a splitter or as a mixer.
For instance, a stereo program source can be connected via the Main Inputs, and then routed to
any of the mono channels set to Split mode. For our example, we’ll use Channel 1 with the Split/Mix
switch in the out (Split) position. Adjust the Channel 1 Balance/Pan control to set how much of the
Left and Right Main Input signal is routed to the Channel 1 mono Output XLR. And you can do the
same thing with all 6 of the MX882 channels.
In Mix mode, the input signals from any, or all, of the MX882’s 6 channels can be mixed to the
stereo Main Output, with their individual Balance/Pan controls determining the signal’s placement
within the stereo image (Pan). It is advantageous that when operating in Mix mode, the stereo
Main Input signal is automatically sent to the Main Outputs – allowing you to combine a total
of up to 8 individual signals. The mono Input signals are still sent to their mono outputs, which
means each channel can also be used as an individual matching ampli er. The Level controls for the
corresponding channels enable the user to adapt the levels at will, with a maximum gain of +15 dB.
Levels used in home-recording can easily be converted into studio levels (+4 dBu), and vice versa.
Typical Applications
As we mentioned above, the ULTRALINK PRO MX882 is one of the most exible systems of its type.
Below are just a few of the applications the multitasking MX882 can accommodate:
• Keyboard or drum submixer
• Distribution ampli er for PA systems, dance clubs, theatres, churches, hotels,
communication systems, etc.
• Add-on module for mixer channels
• Add-on module for FX and monitor paths
• Level translator from -10 dBV to +4 dBu, or vice versa
