MixerConnect App
ProDX is designed to be used in conjunction with
the MixerConnect app. With it, all of the hardware
features listed here – and more! – may be controlled
remotely via Bluetooth connection. The only thing
the MixerConnect app can’t do is turn the unit on
and off or pair a Bluetooth device.
More information about the MixerConnect app may
be found by reading the MixerConnect app Reference
Guide.
1. Power Connector
Connect the supplied power cord by inserting
the barrel connector into the jack on the rear of
the ProDX mixer and plug the other end into a suitable
and properly rated AC outlet.
Only use the factory-authorized power supply
that came with your mixer.
2. Power Switch
Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn
ProDX on and press the bottom of this rocker switch
inwards to turn ProDX off.
3. XLR and 1/4" Combo Inputs
The ProDX4 has two Wide-Z
™
combo inputs and
the ProDX8 has six Wide-Z
™
combo inputs. These input
channels may accept a balanced mic signal using
an XLR connector. They are wired as follows, according
to standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering
Society).
XLR Balanced Wiring:
Pin 1 = Shield (ground)
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
In addition to accepting balanced mic signals using
an XLR connector, these inputs accept 1/4" line-level
signals driven by unbalanced sources and/or Hi-Z
sources (such as guitars) without the need for a
separate DI box.
To connect Hi-Z or unbalanced lines to these inputs,
use a 1/4" mono (TS) phone plug, wired as follows:
1/4" TS Unbalanced Mono Wiring:
Sleeve = Shield
Tip = Hot (+)
NEVER connect the output of an amplifier
directly to a ProDX’s input jack. This could
damage the input circuitry and we wouldn’t
want that now, would we?
A channel is selected when a channel button [11]
is engaged and the Mix button [15] is set to Main,
Aux 1, Aux 2 [ProDX8 only], or FX. Then the level
may be adjusted with the endless rotary knob.
Pages 10-11 describe these two features and
setting input and output levels.
