Congratulations on your purchase of the Radial Submix, an innovative 500 series module
that lets you mix 4 line level sources such as keyboards, drum machines, effects returns,
computers and just about any other audio source together inside any 500 series rack.

Should you fi nd yourself asking a question that is not addressed, we invite you to view the
Submix FAQ page on our web site. This is where we post the latest hints and of course
questions from users. If you still do not fi nd what you are looking for, feel free to send an
email to [e-mail] and we will do our very best to respond to you in short order.

Now get ready to start connecting more cables and wires... cause this is what audio engineers
love to do most!

WARNING NOTICE TO USER!

Although preventative safety measures have been designed into Radial 500 series
products we strictly advise against hot swapping modules or plugging and
unplugging them when the Workhorse or other 500 series rack is powered on. Hot
swapping can cause connection sparks at the card-edge connector that could send
damaging transients to other equipment. This also greatly reduces the life span of the
contacts. Damage due to hot swapping is not covered under warranty. There are no
user serviceable parts inside.

OVERVIEW

The Submix is a four input, one output mixer (4x1) in a single card slot module designed to fi t
the 500 series format. It follows convention with the 15-pin edge connector so that it works in
all 500 series power racks. Each of the front panel ¼” inputs are designed to accommodate
all types of unbalanced line level signals. Examples include instruments such as keyboards,
samplers and electronic drums, plus line-level sources such as tape machines, effects
returns, CD players, iPods, and computer audio outputs. These are then quickly mixed using
the four front panel control knobs.

Typical 4x1 line mixer setup.
