INTRODUCTION

Thank you and congratulations for purchasing myMix, the first networked personal
mixer and multi-track recorder built for professionals. myMix has been designed
with two main goals: to enable musicians to hear their music the way they want to
hear it and to allow them to capture performances in multi-track recordings to
optional SD or SDHC cards. myMix puts each musician in control of his or her own
sound, with an intuitive user interface designed for creative people. myMix will
forever change the way you make music by taking the experience of creating music
to new levels. This owner’s manual covers all basic information in a step by step
process. Please take the time and read it carefully.

myMix is an audio mixing system that allows every user to create his or her own
mix, whether monitoring with headphones, ear plugs, or a speaker system. Each
unit has two combination mic/line inputs, balanced stereo outputs, and headphone
jack. Up to eight myMix units can be used in a system for a total of 16 audio
channels and eight individual stereo mixes. A myMix system is different in that it
doesn’t require a master unit. The connection of the individual units is accomplished
using common Ethernet CAT5 cabling and a 100MBs Fast Ethernet switch. Once a
unit is connected to the network, each input source (e.g. microphone or instrument)
is available on all units allowing a user to create an individual mix without affecting
others on the network. myMix can record up to 18 tracks of multi-track audio to an
optional SD or SDHC card. Two of those tracks are reserved for a stereo track that
is an exact copy of your individual mix, including all effects, panning, volume and
tone adjustments. The remaining tracks (up to 16) are sourced directly from the
preamp output on each unit, unaffected and ready to be imported into the recording
software of your choice for further overdubs, mixing and mastering. All audio files
are recorded in 24-bit, 48 kHz time-stamped .wav files.

For more details on using myMix including video tutorials and information in other
languages, check out : www.mymixaudio.com.

BOOTING UP

As soon as myMix receives power, it will boot up with the myMix logo splash
screen and automatically search for other myMix units on the network. Once boot
up is complete, the main screen appears which displays your local inputs as well as
the inputs coming from other myMix units. If another myMix on the network loses
power or is unplugged, it will disappear from your screen. Likewise, if a new myMix
is added to the network, it will automatically show up on your screen.

Default Main Screen with no other units,
showing the two local input channels.

Main screen displaying other units on the
network and their input channel names.

NAVIGATING MYMIX

myMix is designed to allow straightforward and intuitive navigation. The main
navigation tools are the jog wheel and the four soft keys on the right side of the unit.
Rotate the jog wheel to highlight channels, adjust parameters, and scroll through
setting options and the alphabet. Push the jog wheel [4] to show the channel
screen, parameter setting, move to the next letter, or to go back. For instance, to
adjust the volume of a channel, simply rotate the jog wheel to highlight the channel,
push the jog wheel to bring up the channel screen, and rotate the jog wheel to
adjust the volume up or down. Push the jog wheel again to go back to the main
screen, or simply allow the screen to time out [also see SETTINGS → Preferences,
Activity Timeout].

The four soft keys on the right side of the unit change functions depending on the
screen that is currently displayed. Their purpose is always listed on the screen
directly to the left of the button.

11

NAVIGATING MYMIX

For instance, if you wanted to adjust the tone of the channel, you would rotate the
jog wheel to highlight the channel and push the jog wheel to bring up the channel
screen. The VOLUME edit window appears.

Now push the soft key directly to the
right of the box labeled “TONE”. Once
the tone parameter is displayed you
can adjust it by rotating the jog wheel.
You can either push the jog wheel
again to return to the main screen, or
allow it to time out.

12

The jog wheel navigation is used for all
settings including naming. With the jog
wheel you can select the letter or
figure you want. CLEAR moves the
cursor one step back. Naming has to
be confirmed by pressing SAVE.
Pushing BACK gets you to the
previous screen.

.

CONNECTIONS

Inputs

myMix has two balanced XLR/¼” combo input connectors for microphone (XLR)
and line level ( ¼”) signals. Before you connect anything to the inputs, make sure
the gain control pots [14 and 15] are turned fully counter clockwise. Take your time
to insure that you are connecting the correct device output to the correct input as a
mistake can result in a distorted signal or additional hum and noise. See the back of
the manual for technical specifications and connector pin out.

Setting Input Gain

After you have made the proper connections to the inputs and turned the input gain
knobs fully counter-clockwise, it is time to adjust input gain. Play the source
(instrument or microphone) at the loudest level you anticipate it producing. Slowly
turn the gain knob clockwise, watching the respective channel LED for signal. As
signal gain is brought up on the device you will see the channel LED turn green. If
you don’t see the channel LED turn green, check your connection and the output
level of your source. Continue to bring up the gain until the LED starts to turn red
(clip), then slowly turn the gain knob counter clockwise until the LED no longer turns
red. Repeat this process for both channels.

Turning clockwise increases, turning
counter clockwise reduces the gain
level.

NOTE: The gain setting is extremely important. While the mix you create with
myMix is your individual mix , the gain setting influences the signal for the entire
system, as well as for recording. In addition to the red LED on each unit, if an input
gain is clipping the name of the channel will flash red on all units, giving your band
mates an opportunity to alert you to the problem.

Outputs

The stereo mix you create on myMix is available on the headphone jack [16] and
as a balanced line level signal on the two ¼” phone jacks on the rear panel. [10 &
11] The balanced outputs will drive an external amplifier, a powered speaker or any
other device that accepts a line level signal.

13

Outputs

While there is usually no harm in connecting a headphone to the ¼ “output jacks,
keep in mind that you will only be hearing either the left or right side of your mix.
See back of the manual for detailed specifications and pin out.

CAUTION: Before you connect to an amplifier or powered
loudspeaker, make sure they are switched off and turned down
to avoid equipment damage.

WARNING: Excessive sound pressure level on ear-plugs,
headphones or loudspeakers can damage your hearing and
cause hearing loss!

Network

AtypicalmyMix system consists of multiple units.myMix units talk to each other
with common CAT5 cabling through a standard off-the-shelf 100MB Fast Ethernet
switch. If you are just using two myMix units, you can connect them directly to each
other with standard CAT5 cabling without the need for a switch. Three or more units
require a switch.

NOTE: Don‘t combine myMix units with other networkable devices. Although the myMix
network uses the Ethernet AVB protocol, which can be used with common Fast Ethernet
hardware, t he myMix system network needs to be exclusive. It is not possible to combine
several myMix units in a network with other networkable devices such as PCs, routers,
modems or printers

.

Power
Supply

Three units connected to a switch, two using
POE (30W) and one with external power supply.

14

Power

myMix can be powered using the
included external power supply, or by
a POE (Power Over Ethernet)
equipped Ethernet switch. Keep in
mind that each myMix unit requires 15
watts, so choose a POE switch that
has an overall wattage rating that is
capable of powering all units on the
network.

MAIN SCREEN

Master Volume

To adjust the levels of all channels simultaneously, while retaining the proportions
of your mix, push the soft key MASTER VOLUME. All channels will be selected and
can be adjusted with the jog wheel. If a channel hits the upper or the lower limit of
the volume range (0% to 100%) it will simply stop moving and all other channels will
continue to adjust. If you bring a channel back from the upper or lower limit, the
proportions remain the same.

To exit the MASTER VOLUME mod e,
push the soft key labeled DESELECT.
ZERO MIX returns the settings for all
channels to the default position.

Push the soft key labeled BACK to
return to the main screen.

CHANNEL SCREEN

Access the CHANNEL screen by scrolling to a channel and pushing the jog wheel
[4]. To return to the MAIN screen, either push the jog wheel again, or allow the
screen to time out.

16

Volume

The default view on the CHANNEL screen is the volume control. The jog wheel
adjusts channel volume from 0% to 100%. The default volume is 50%.

Tone

While on the CHANNEL screen, push the soft key labeled TONE to adjust simple
Bass and Treble controls with the jog wheel. The default position is center.

Effect

Push the soft key labeled EFFECT to increase or decrease the amount of internal
effect applied to each channel (the type of effect is selected in the EFFECTS
screen under SETTINGS). The default position is 0%.

Pan

By pushing the soft key labeled PAN, you can control where the signal appears in
the stereo field.

Keep in mind that if you are
listening on a mono device,
panning a mono signal fully to the
unused output will make the signal
disappear. This also applies to
stereo signals as they default to
100% left and 100% right. The
default position is center.

For a stereo signal, the panorama
turns into a BALANCE control.
Each individual channel of a
stereo signal is routed 100% to
the left or right by default.
BALANCE allows you to move the
stereo image to either side.

17

SETTINGS

Profiles

A profile stores all of the settings related to a mix and is automatically updated the
moment you make a change. This includes input mode, input naming, volume, tone,
mute, solo, pan, effect settings and master EQ. Profiles allow you to use your
myMix in a variety of situations, with different inputs and outputs, eliminating the
need to constantly reconfigure your unit.

In the PROFILE screen, you can create, name and delete profiles. Up to 20
different profiles can be created and stored. By default, there is one profile in which
all changes are saved. To select a profile, scroll to highlight and push the jog wheel.
The currently selected profile name is always displayed below the unit name on the
status bar.

Inputs

The INPUTS screen allows you to activate phantom power, select input modes and
name your inputs. Phantom power is available and is switchable ON or OFF for
both inputs. When phantom power is activated,
is recommended to turn phantom power OFF when it is not required by an input
device.
myMix has three Input Modes:
DUAL MONO – Select dual mono for
two independent sources such as
guitar and vocal. Dual mono inputs
appear as two separate channels on all
myMix units.

an icon appears in the status bar. It

MONO - enables only input 1.

STEREO - Select stereo when using a
stereo source such as a keyboard, mp3
player, or electronic drums. In stereo
mode, inputs 1 and 2 are routed 100%
to the left and right sides, respectively.
A stereo input is displayed as a single
channel on all myMix units, yet
contains left and right signals.

18

Effects

One global effect can be selected for
each myMix unit. There is a choice of
seven different effects from which to
choose: three room reverbs, three hall
reverbs or delay with adjustable delay
time (10ms to 350ms) and repeats.
Default setting for the Effect type is:
None.

Preferences

The Preferences screen allows you to name your myMix, set the length of Activity
Timeout, adjust screen brightness, date and time.

The name of your myMix is the primary way in which you will be identified on the
network, so choose something meaningful like your first name or your nickname.
Remember, you will name inputs separately and those input names will be
displayed just after your unit name on the respective channel. For example, if you
name your unit “Bill” and input 1 “Guitar”, the channel will be displayed as “Bill
Guitar”. Use the jog wheel to scroll through characters A-Z, space, and numbers 0
–9.

When you have selected the desired
character, space, or number, push
thejogwheeltomovethecursor
forward. CLEAR removes the
currently selected letter and moves
the cursor back.

The soft key labeled CHANGE CASE allows you to alternate between upper and
lower case letters. When you are finished editing the unit name, press the soft key
labeled SAVE. CANCEL exits the screen without saving changes.

19

Preferences

Date and Time are adjusted in the
same fashion. The Date and Time that
you set will be embedded into any
recorded files you create. Activity
Timeout refers to the length of time it
takes for the CHANNEL screen to
automatically revert back to theMAIN
screen.

Master Equalizer

The Master Equalizer is a stereo 4- band fully parametric EQ designed to fine tune
the output of your myMix to the device through which you are monitoring. Each of
the four bands has adjustable frequency, Q (a measure for bandwidth of the filter,
where the higher the Q is, the more narrow the filter gets, and the lower the Q is,
the wider the filter gets) and Gain.

The Low and High frequencies can
also be configured as shelving filters.
Bypass removes the Master Equalizer
from the audio path yet retains your
settings to quickly compare between
the original and equalized versions.

Note: In most cases, the channel tone control is all you need to achieve your desired sound.
The master equalizer is mainly designed as a tool in situations where the actual output
device needs attention. Some applications would include dealing with feedback while using
stage monitors or boosting or removing frequencies on inexpensive headhones. Our
recommendation is if you don’t need it, don’t use it.

Sessions

One of the coolest features of myMix is the ability to initiate multi-track recording

Sessions

Each time the REC button is pressed,
a stereo track that is a mirror image of
your individual mix, plus unaffected
individual tracks that are tapped
directly after the preamps from each
myMix on the network, are created.
You can import the audio to the
recording software of your choice, cut
overdubs, mix, master, and post it on
your website for your fans to
download the next day.

When you select a session and press
the soft button PLAY, the stereo file
(mirror image of your individual mix)
will be played back. During playback,
all audio signals from the system are
mute, with only the signal of the
playback routed to the outputs.

If you select DELETE, you are
prompted to confirm your decision.
Confirming YES will delete all files (all
individual tracks and the stereo
master) from the SD card. If in doubt,
press NO to exit without change.

Administration

The Administration screen lets you format the SD/SDHC card, restore to the unit to
factory defaults and view general information about your myMix unit such as
address and firmware version.

NOTE: formatting the SD card deletes all data from the card. Restoring the factory settings
clears ALL settings including preferences settings, input settings and profiles. Before you
confirm any of these activities, make sure that you really don’t need this data anymore.
