[. . . ] Then the Midi tracks need only be added in the DAW project, the outputs (for example, from a keyboard) are then routed directly to the MixDreamXP. Mono Controls To save converter channels, all channels may be switched to Mono so that two signals can be converted by a paired D/A. In this case such signals are characteristically chosen which would receive a more central placement in the stereo mix (e. g. All channel pairs must otherwise be panned hard left/right in the mix (see , , mono switches" on page 10). MixDream XP 5 Before You Begin It makes good sense to think about where you place your MixDream XP before connecting it. It should be positioned so that you can easily reach it, but there are other considerations. Try not to place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to excessive vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. It should also be kept away from transformers, motors, power amplifiers and digital processors. IMPORTANT: Adjust the voltage setting on the rear panel so that it corresponds to your local power conditions!Before connecting the MixDream XP or any other equipment turn off all power! 230 V ­ 50 Hz/315 mA 115 V ­ 60 Hz/630 mA VOLTAGE/FUSE · Do not open the case. You may risk electric shock and damage to your equipment. · Leave repairs and maintenance to a qualified service technician. Should foreign objects fall inside the case, contact your authorized dealer or support person. · To avoid electric shock or fire hazards, do not expose your unit to rain or moisture. · In case of lightning, unplug the unit. · Always unplug the cable by pulling on the plug only; never pull on the cable. · Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the case. Avoid cleaning agents as they may damage the unit. if necessary, use an acid-free cleaning oil instead. 6 MixDream XP DAW Stereo Mix Summing Tracks Wiring XLR Wiring: 1 = GND/ 2 = (+)/ 3 = (­) IMPORTANT: Voltage Selector, see page 6 Power Connector: see page 16 GND Lift Switch: see page 11 Monitoring 1/2 Expansion -7 -4 0 POWER 3/4 5/6 7/8 9/10 3 11/12 13/14 15/16 MixDream XP Discrete Class A 16 in 2 summing mixer Mono Mono Mono Mono Variable Output -12 Mono 5 Mono -13 Mono Mono Expansion Input dB Output Model 2591 Monitoring outputs for any stereo monitoring chain.

Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place the unit to avoid electrical disturbances. The MixDream XP and all devices to be connected should be turned off before connections are made. [. . . ] The MixDreamXP power transformer is also heavily shielded to minimize hum. The +/-30V (=60 V rail) power is derived from high quality linear regulators whose noise level borders on the immeasurable. Extremely fast rectifier diodes and 14. 000 microFarrad capacitors insure that there is enough available current at all times and for every imaginable peak. Additional 100nF/250V MKP stabilizing condensers are present to insure further that any conceivable peak loads will not affect your mix. Power connection must be provided by the included standard IEC three-pole (computer) cable. [. . . ]
