4. CONTROL SURFACE PORTS: Each port supplies communication data and power to connected
Livemix personal mixers (also called control surfaces) through a standard network cable.
Two indicator lights on each port report device status information.
• The green light illuminates when a personal mixer has a valid connection with the MIX-16/MIX-32.
• The yellow light is a fault indicator. It may illuminate briefly when each personal mixer is powered on. If it remains lit, this indicates one of the following problems:
1. The firmware on the personal mixer
2. The network cable
3. The port
4. The personal mixer
NOTE:
If power is interrupted to the
MIX-16/MIX-32, the personal mixer will automatically return to the last loaded mix when it powers back on. Additionally, the
MIX-16/MIX-32 will automatically return to the last loaded Global
Template
.
5. OPTION CARD SLOT: This slot is used to provide access to additional input formats. When using an option card, such as the LM-DANTE-EXP Dante card, the system may need to be configured for digital input. The system will default to the option card slot if one is installed. Otherwise, this can be done on the Livemix personal mixer (see Livemix CS-SOLO or CS-DUO User Guides for more information).
6. LIVEMIX DATA LIGHT: This light will change color to indicate the audio and power status of the
MIX-16/MIX-32. If the light is off, the MIX-16/MIX-32 doesn’t have power. Any illuminated LED light color means that power is on.
If using the AD-24 with analog inputs:
• The light will illuminate green when the MIX-16/MIX-32 is receiving audio data.
• The light will illuminate red when there is no audio data present.
If using an option card (digital input):
• A green light means communication is working. Please verify channel mapping from your audio source. (See LM-DANTE-EXP User Guide for more information).
• A yellow light means at least one digital channel is not connected properly (See LM-
DANTE-EXP User Guide for more information).
• A red light means that at least one channel is reporting an error (See LM-DANTE-EXP User
Guide for more information).
7. USB PORT: The USB port connects to a Windows PC for firmware updating.
8. LIVEMIX DATA OUT 1: This port connects to a Livemix DA-816 analog output rack unit.
9. LIVEMIX DATA OUT 2 (MIX-32 ONLY): This port connects to a Livemix DA-816 analog output rack unit. If only using one DA-816, connect to the Livemix Data Out 1.

SETUP AND OPERATION
Although the MIX-16/MIX-32 is the Livemix central mixer and power distributor, there aren’t any direct controls.
Setting up the MIX-16/MIX-32 is simple and all configuration is done on a Livemix personal mixer (See the CS-SOLO or
CS-DUO User Guide).
1. If using the analog input, connect the Livemix Data
Out port on the AD-24 to the Livemix Data In port on the MIX-16/MIX-32. Shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable is required to make this connection. If using an option card, you will not use the Livemix Data In port.
2. Connect each personal mixer to a Control Surface Port on the front of the MIX-16/MIX-32 with a CAT5e or CAT6 cable. These do not have to be in any particular order or sequence. Planning which Livemix personal mixer goes into which Control Surface Port may help identify each personal mixer when using the MirrorMix ® remote mixing feature.
3. Connect the power supply on the back of the MIX-16/
MIX-32 to an appropriate power source.
4. Turn on the MIX-16/MIX-32.
NOTE:
The audio data sent over the
Livemix system is a proprietary data format. It will not work with a switch or a standard Ethernet network. When using an Option
Card designed for networked audio use, such as the LM-DANTE-
EXP, consult the Option Card user guide for information on how to connect to the network.
NOTE:
Either CAT5e or CAT6 cabling is appropriate.

MIX-16/MIX-32 FIRMWARE UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
The MIX-16/MIX-32 can be updated with a CS-SOLO/CS-DUO or a PC application.
You can update with a CS-SOLO or CS-DUO if:
• The MIX-16/MIX-32 serial number is greater than
12-02-01030
• The MIX-16/MIX-32 firmware is 1.01 or above
• The CS-SOLO/CS-DUO firmware is 1.31 or above
If your MIX-16/MIX-32 does not meet the criteria above, update with a Windows PC application.
In most cases, this will bring your MIX-16/MIX-32 up to date and subsequent updates can be performed with the CS-SOLO/CS-DUO. For reference, both methods are listed below.
UPDATE FIRMWARE OF MIX-16/MIX-32 WITH THE PC APPLICATION:
1. Update all CS-SOLOs and CS-DUOs to the latest version per the instructions above.
2. Download the MIX-16/MIX-32 Update Application from http://www.digitalaudio.com/support.
3. Connect the USB port on the MIX-16/MIX-32 to a Windows computer.
4. Wait for MIX-16/MIX-32 drivers to fully install.
5. Run MIX-16/MIX-32 Update Application. A second set of drivers will be installed at the start of this process and may take a few minutes. Once the updater has started, a progress bar will appear. Do not turn off the power until the update is complete or you may damage the unit.
6. PRESS Finish.
7. Disconnect the MIX-16/MIX-32 from the PC and verify the update was successful by checking the firmware version with the CS-SOLO/CS-DUO.
UPDATE MIX-16/MIX-32 FIRMWARE WITH A CS-SOLO OR CS-DUO:
1. Download the latest firmware: http://www.digitalaudio.com/support .
2. Unzip the firmware zip file and copy the LMUPDATE folder to the root directory of a USB flash drive (FAT Format). Please verify the
LMUPDATE folder is not in another folder.
3. Go to Livemix Version Info by pressing Mix Tools, Global
Configuration and then Livemix Version Info.
4. PRESS Update MIX-16/MIX-32 Firmware.
5. PRESS Yes to update, or No to cancel.
6. Insert USB flash drive containing the update, when prompted. PRESS
Continue or Exit to cancel. Once the update has begun, do not turn off the power to the MIX-16/MIX-32 or you may damage the unit.
NOTE:
If updating with the
CS-SOLO or CS-DUO does not work, please use the PC Application.
Some updates take a while to complete. If updating the MIX-16/
MIX-32 from the
CS-SOLO/CS-DUO
, it works best to have only one personal mixer connected.

LIVEMIX SYSTEM EXAMPLES
A Livemix system requires either an analog (AD-24) or digital input (option card), the MIX-16/MIX-
32 central mixer, and at least one Livemix personal mixer. Below are some examples of what a basic system may look like.
ANALOG INPUT SYSTEM
1 x AD-24 Analog Input Rack Unit
1 x MIX-16 Central Mixer
4 x CS-DUO Dual Mix Personal Mixers
4 x MT-1 Dual Position Mounts
1 x CBL-CAT6-100 Shielded CAT6 Cable 100’ **
4 x CBL-CAT6-50 Shielded CAT6 Cable 50’
DIGITAL INPUT SYSTEM
1 x MIX-16 Central Mixer
1 x LM-DANTE-EXP Dante option card
4 x CS-DUO Dual Mix Personal Mixers
4 x MT-1 Dual Position Mounts
1 x CBL-CAT6-100 Shielded CAT6 Cable 100’ **
4 x CBL-CAT6-50 Shielded CAT6 Cable 50’
**Shielded cable between AD-24 and MIX-16 (and the DA-816 if applicable) is required. CAT6 is not required, CAT5e is acceptable.
ANALOG OR DIGITAL?
Users receiving their audio from an analog source will use the AD-24. Using the TRS or DB-25 inputs, audio from the source is made available to the Livemix system.
Users receiving their audio from a digital source will use the Option Card (LM-DANTE-EXP). This is an option card that is installed in the MIX-16/MIX-32 and allows the Livemix system to receive audio from a digital device or network.
PERSONAL MIXER / CONTROL SURFACE
Livemix needs at least one connected personal mixer to make a mix. Each Livemix personal mixer connects via CAT5e/CAT6 cable to one of the ports of the MIX-16/MIX-32. Using various controls on the unit, users can each create their own custom mix, which is then output to headphones, in-ear monitors or stage monitors, directly from the personal mixer or Livemix DA-816 analog output unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Livemix MIX-16/MIX-32 is not powering on correctly.
Verify that you have connected the external power supply to a working power outlet.
Verify that the front panel power switch is set to ON.
I am not seeing the “Livemix Data” light illuminate.
If the Livemix Data light is not illuminating, there is a problem with the power to the MIX-
16/MIX-32. Check to make sure that the power supply is connected to the MIX-16/MIX-32 and that all the cables are secure. Also verify that the power supply is plugged into an appropriate power source and that the power cable from the source to the power supply transformer is securely attached.
I was planning on feeding the MIX-16/MIX-32 from my digital mixer, but do not see the right connector to use on the MIX-16/MIX-32.
The MIX-16/MIX-32 interfaces with digital consoles through the use of an option card that inserts into the MIX-16/MIX-32.
There is a clicking or popping sound in my mix.
Audible clicking and popping is usually an issue with the clock source. If you are using
Livemix with a Dante network, make sure that your console or Dante device is set to be the
Master and Livemix is set to be the Slave.
This can be done through Dante Controller software on a Windows PC or Apple computer.
NOTE: If you desire to have your console’s internal clock be the clock source, select this configuration setting on your console. Then in Dante Controller, set your console’s Dante option card to be the Master Dante device on the Dante network and select “Sync to
External”.
