Introduction

Mixing Link is a compact, high-quality Microphone (mic) Preamp with an Effects Loop for

easy and convenient patching of various audio between your mic (or instrument) and your

stompbox, mobile device, amp, console, and computer interface. Mixing Link can be used

in many ways to fit into virtually any audio setup. Mixing Link has been designed to be

equally at home on the pedal board, desktop and in studio and live environment.

Mixing Link boasts 65dB of gain and works with dynamic and ribbon mics. It also supports

condenser mics with its built-in 48V phantom power supply.

Mixing Link provides a variety of connections for pro and instrument

(balanced/unbalanced) levels, and an Auxiliary Mix connector and a headphone amp for

monitoring. A detailed description of the controls and input/output connectors follows.

Creative Uses

There are many creative and practical applications in which the Mixing Link can excel. In

addition to being a stellar microphone preamplifier, it can be used with a plethora of

connections for DI, re-amping, headphone monitoring, signal level matching, or mixing and

interfacing solutions.

Mixing Link allows easy connection of any microphone, instrument or line inputs to

any/many destinations. For instance, you can connect balanced line level outputs to guitar

amps and mics to balanced line level inputs simultaneously. You can also generate stereo

to mono summing and a stereo send output simultaneously. Using the headphone amp

output Mixing Link can also be used with your favorite stompbox as a practice amp or

vocal monitor.

Mixing Link is a problem solver and a creative tool and should be in every musicians’ and

audio engineers’ toolbox. Please see separate Application Handbook for a complete list of

Mixing Link application notes and connection diagrams.

Mixing Link User Guide Controls and Indicators

Controls and Indicators

(1) INPUT GAIN Knob

Sets the gain for Mixing Link’s microphone pre-amp. The total gain range available on the

INPUT GAIN knob depends on the connector the signal is attached to and the setting of

the GAIN button located on the right side of the Mixing Link, just above the “INST IN” jack.

Each input connector yields different ranges for the INPUT GAIN knob. The following table

lists the gain range for each input and setting for the GAIN button:

INPUT

GAIN = HI

GAIN = LO

MIC XLR IN

+33 dB ~ +66 dB

+10 dB ~ +36 dB

LINE TRS IN

+9 dB ~ +42 dB

-14 dB ~ +12 dB

INSTRUMENT IN

+14 dB ~ +47 dB

-9 dB ~ +17 dB

The output level at the “TO FX” (SEND) jack is controlled by the INPUT GAIN knob.

(2) GAIN Button

Located on the right side of Mixing Link next to the “INST IN” jack, the GAIN button

changes the total gain range of the Input Gain knob by ~22dB.

Button In = LO gain. Line level signals (keyboards, bass).

Button Out = HI gain. Microphones, electric guitars and other low output instruments.

Don’t be afraid to try the two gain settings for different types of inputs, Mixing Link’s inputs

are well protected.

(3) Signal ‘PK’ LED and ‘-20’ LED

Below and to the right of the INPUT GAIN knob, the red PK LED lights when the output

signal of the MIC pre-amp hits the peak of its full-range, just before the MIC pre-amp stage

clips. It is fine if the PK LED lights on your loudest notes.

Located just below the PK LED, the green -20 LED lights when input signal is ~20 dB

below the MIC pre-amp’s full-scale output.

(4) MIX Knob

Varies the balance between the MIC/LINE IN and INST IN Dry signal and the “FROM FX”

Return signal. As you turn MIX clockwise, the level of the FX Return signal always

increases. The effect of the MIX knob on the DRY signal level depends on the setting of

the MIX MODE Toggle Switch located just below the MIX knob.

Mixing Link User Guide Controls and Indicators

(5) MIX MODE Toggle Switch

This three-position switch determines how the DRY and FX Return signals interact when

turning the MIX knob.

The DRY signal is the signal at the output of the MIC pre-amp stage. The source for the

DRY signal comes from either the MIC/LINE IN XLR connector or the INST IN ¼” phone

jack.

The FX Return comes from the “FROM FX” (RETURN) phone jack.

The three MIX switch modes are as follows:

DRY+FX: The level of the DRY signal is fixed; the level of the FX

Return signal increases as you turn the MIX knob

clockwise. DRY+FX keeps your microphone or instrument

level fixed while you dial in just the right amount of FX

Return.

MIX: The MIX knob acts like a wet/dry control. With the MIX knob

at full counter-clockwise, you will hear only the DRY signal.

At full clockwise, you will hear only the FX Return. Turn the

MIX knob to balance the two signals to taste.

FX ONLY: The DRY signal is muted, you will not hear your

microphone, line or instrument input while the FX Loop is

engaged. The MIX knob acts like a volume control for the

FX Return signal. As you turn MIX knob clockwise, the FX

Return level increases.

(6) PHONES & AMP LEVEL Knob

Sets the output level for the Mixing Link’s two main output jacks: “TO AMP” and

“PHONES”. This knob controls the output level whether or not the FX Loop is engaged or

bypassed.

(7) FX LOOP Footswitch and Status LED

The FX LOOP footswitch activates/deactivates the FX Loop connected between the “TO

FX” and “FROM FX” jacks, allowing you to turn on or off your effects chain with the tap of

a switch.

When the status LED located above the footswitch is lit, the FX Loop is activated, sending

your DRY signal out to the FX Send jack. When the status LED is off, the FX Loop is

deactivated and muted.

The FX LOOP footswitch can work as either a momentary or latching switch, the

HOLD/LATCH toggle switch above the footswitch changes its action.

(8) HOLD/LATCH Switch

This toggle switch, located just above the footswitch, changes the action of the FX Loop

footswitch - either latching or momentary.

When set to the LATCH position, the FX Loop status changes state upon pressing the

footswitch and remains in this new state until you press the footswitch again; releasing the

footswitch does not cause the FX Loop status to change.

Mixing Link User Guide Controls and Indicators

In the HOLD position, the footswitch becomes a momentary switch: when you press down

and hold the footswitch, the FX Loop is activated (the status LED lights), upon releasing

the footswitch, the FX Loop is deactivated (the status LED shuts off). Remember, in HOLD

mode, you must push and hold the footswitch to activate the FX Loop.

(9) ‘48V PHANTOM’ POWER Switch

Located on the back panel of the Mixing Link, next to the PWR jack, the 3-Position toggle

switch both activates the Mixing Link’s 48V Phantom Power circuit and is the battery’s

power switch when powered from a 9V battery. If powered from the AC Adapter, push the

switch up to the 48V position to enable phantom power; to disable phantom power, set the

switch to the OFF position. Push the switch down to the BATTERY setting to enable the

9V battery’s power; set the switch to the middle OFF position to disconnect the battery and

power down the unit.

The Mixing Link supplies phantom power only when a 9VDC AC Adapter powers the

pedal; it cannot provide phantom power when run from a 9V battery. The OFF position for

the 48V toggle switch both disables phantom power and disconnects the 9V battery from

the circuit. When you power the Mixing Link from an AC Adapter, power is always applied

to the pedal no matter the setting of the 48V toggle switch. Inserting a 9VDC AC Adapter

plug into the power jack disconnects the battery from the circuit; the BATTERY position on

the toggle switch is ignored.

(10) ‘48V PHANTOM’ LED

This orange LED lights when phantom power is active. The 48V PHANTOM LED is

powered directly from phantom power thereby indicating that phantom power is both

active and working correctly. It is normal for some microphones to draw more current from

phantom power and cause this LED to dim.

(11) PWR ON LED

This green LED lights whenever Mixing Link is powered up. It illuminates when receiving

power from either the AC Adapter or 9V battery.

(12) GND LIFT Button

Connects or disconnects GND (ground) from pin 1 of the DI/LINE OUT XLR connector.

Button OUT: Pin 1 of the XLR connector connected to the Mixing Link’s GND.

Button IN: Pin 1 of the XLR connector is disconnected/lifted from GND. Pin 1 is floating in

the LIFT position.

Note:

Normally it is best to leave pin 1 connected to GND but if you hear hum (buzzing) and you

are using the DI/LINE OUT connector, try lifting the GND from the connector. Doing so

may help eliminate ground loops.

Mixing Link User Guide I/O Connectors

I/O Connectors

INPUTS

(13) MIC/LINE IN Combo XLR Connector

MIC/ LINE IN connects directly to the MIC pre-amp gain stage. This combo connector

accepts balanced signals on either an XLR connector or ¼” TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) plug.

The XLR connector is best suited for microphones whereas the ¼” input is best for line

level inputs. Signals at the XLR connector have the most available gain while the ¼” Line

input has the most headroom (to accommodate Line Level amplitude).

We recommend you always connect balanced signals to the MIC/LINE IN connector.

When connecting an unbalanced signal to the MIC pre-amp, we recommend using the

INST IN ¼” jack. The XLR connector is not suited for unbalanced signals.

Note: Phantom power is applied to the XLR input, not the ¼” jack.

(14) INST IN ¼” Phonejack

Use the high impedance (Hi-Z) INST IN jack to connect instruments, and other

unbalanced signals.

When you insert a plug into the INST IN jack the input to the MIC pre-amp is mixed with

the MIC/LINE input and the GAIN control act on both INST and MIC/LINE inputs

simultaneously.

EFFECTS LOOP CONNECTIONS

(15) TO FX ¼” Phonejack - Effects Send

A balanced/unbalanced output capable of connecting to a wide range of devices from

effects pedals to rack systems or just about anything with an audio input. The signal sent

out of “TO FX” comes directly from the MIC pre-amp gain stage; the output level of the

effects send can therefore be controlled with the INPUT GAIN knob. When the FX Loop is

deactivated (FX LOOP LED is off), “TO FX” send is muted.

(16) FROM FX ¼” Phonejack – Effects Return

A balanced/unbalanced input with capable of connecting to a wide range of devices from

effects pedals to rack systems. The input signal at the “FROM FX” jack is the FX signal for

the MIX knob.

(17) AUX 1/8” Phonejack – Connect to mobile device

The “AUX” jack is a bi-directional connector on a four conductor (TRRS) 1/8” mini phone

jack for connecting to mobile devices. It sends out the mono “TO FX” send signal and

receives back a stereo signal. The stereo return remains stereo for the PHONES output

but is converted to mono for the “TO AMP” and “DI/LINE OUT” outputs.

The source device (the mobile device) controls the volume of the signal into the AUX

connector thereby controlling its volume in the mix with the MIC pre-amp output and the

FX Return.
