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 th

Rear Panel/Connections General Advice The MixDream XP enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively shielded against HF interference. 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. Always turn volume down or mute your speakers when disconnecting or repatching audio cables to avoid damage to your speakers and ears. The following graph shows the cor

Rear Panel/Connections Right Right L Left eft Main Outputs The Main Outputs provide a stereo mixdown for a recording device through electronically balanced XLR outputs. Here as a rule you will route the stereo mix through an A/D converter for Main Outputs re-recording as a new DAW track. Right Left Monitor Outputs The Monitor Outputs run parallel with the Main Outs and provide for separate monitoring of the stereo mixdown through elec- tronically balanced XLR outputs.

Control Elements GND Lift Switch (Rear Panel) The GND Lift switch separates internal ground from chassis GND LIFT ground. The switch can be activated to eliminate ground loop humming which may occur if the MixDreamXP is connected to units with a different ground potential. The switch should normally be in the GND position to maintain the shielding effect of the metal housing. Applications and Modes of Operation Summing Tracks destined for analog summing are routed from the DAW to the MixDr

Applications and Modes of Operation MixDream XP in Mastering Applications Your MixDreamXP is predestined for mastering applications, as we‘ve planned its superior sound quality for just such occa- sions. Two applications are especially interesting: 1) discrete Mastering, and 2) upsampling to SACD/DVD-A formats. 1) Normally a studio mastering engineer requires that a stereo file be made available for his or her work. But in such a mixdown, any problems (for example, significant variations

Power Supply No effort or expense was spared here. We don’t know of anyone who makes good coffee with great beans and bad water, and we don’t know of anyone who makes great sounding audio equip- ment with mediocre power supplies. The best parts cannot give you a sound without dependable power. The MixDreamXP is equipped with an internal power supply. Two +/-15 VA transformers are capable of providing adequate current regardless of any demands you can put on it, even when running the MixDre
