What it is
We called it the MixerMixer because that’s what it does... it mixes the outputs from up to three mixers so you can use them as if they were one bigger mixer.
Combining the outputs of two or more mixers has always been a difficult task. At best you could combine main outputs by giving up two inputs on one of the mixers. However, none of the AUX sends or headphone monitor­ing functions could be combined .
The Mixer Mixer solves this problem, combining ALL outputs from up to three mixers and providing a new set of outputs for up to three mixers. For example, three Mackie Designs CR-1604's and a MixerMixer gives you 48 line inputs, 18 MIC inputs, 12 stereo effects returns and 24 direct outs!
Since all combining is at unity gain, you lose no level or head room — and gain no additional noise. In fact, the MixerMixer's noise level is so low that you can use it at –10dB or +4dB levels.
Remote Fader
With the addition of the optional remote fader, you can control the main L/R output level of all the mixers that are plugged into the MixerMixer. The remote fader comes with its own connecting cable. Bolt it to the side of one of your CR-1604’s, hold it in your hand, stand it on a table, or use double-backed tape to mount it anywhere that’s convenient to use.
CordPack: The economical patch cord solution. It takes a lot of cables to link three CR-1604s. So we offer thirty-six mono and three stereo patch cords for a VERY reasonable price. These are high quality cables with molded construction, plated contact surfaces, flexible insulation and different colored ends to make identifying inputs and outputs easy.
CordPack
Use the available cord pack to interconnect CR-1604’s and MixerMixers. CordPacks include all the cables needed to connect up to three CR-1604’s to a MixerMixer.
Connections
MixerMixer is really, really easy to hook up. Just connect all the various outputs from your mixers to the inputs of the MixerMixer. The new, combined outputs from your system are taken from the Mixer Mixer.
If you are using the remote fader, be sure to position the plug correctly when you plug into the Mixer Mixer. The alignment notch is clearly marked on the MixerMixer to correspond with the “dent” in the end casing of the DIN plug on the cable supplied.
NOTE:The reason it’s even possible to insert the plug incorrectly is because we put a seven- pin DIN connector in the MixerMixer that allows us to give you some specialized control functions at a later date (the other pins supply power).
Enabling the Remote Fader
To use the remote fader you must depress the switch that lurks behind the MixerMixer’s
front panel, right along side the DIN plug socket. It’s recessed for security, so you have to very deliberately insert a pencil (or non-conduc­tive pen) through the small hole to depress the switch. MixerMixers are shipped from the factory with the switch in the “remote-off” position.
Sub-mixing With the Remote Fader
With the remote fader you can use the existing master output sliders for
sub-masters. Use the pan controls to assign each channel to the appropriate output sub­master, then use the remote fader to set the overall output level.

Studio Monitoring
When used in studio applications, the monitor amplifier can be driven from the MixerMixer’s combined HEADPHONE output. If your power amplifier has input level controls, set them at 12 o’clock to compensate for the extremely high output level of the headphone driver.
Tape Outputs
Outputs to 2-track tape recorders are derived from main combined LEFT and RIGHT Mixer­Mixer outputs. Multiple recorders can easily be driven simply by adding "Y" cords to the output.
