Getting Started

Introduction

ProDX Series mixers bring powerful digital mixing  

to solo performers, small bands, venues and commercial  
applications that require lower channel counts with  
an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that looks great 
anywhere.

Keep it simple with its single knob design,  

perfect for quick and easy level adjustments.  
Get total wireless control via the MixerConnect

  

app to unlock recallable mix presets, built-in  
processing like EQ and compression per channel  
and great-sounding ReadyFX

 effects.

Plus, with Bluetooth

®

 streaming, you can wirelessly 

play back music or backing tracks right from your 
phone. ProDX mixers deliver the powerful benefits  
of digital mixing with wireless control in our most  
compact mixer designs ever.

How to Use This Manual:

After this introduction, a getting started guide will 

help you get things set up fast. The hookup diagrams 
show some typical setups, while the remaining sections 
provide details of ProDX.

This icon marks information that is critically 
important or unique to ProDX. For your own 
good, read and remember them.

This icon leads you to in-depth explanations 
of features and practical tips. They usually 
have some valuable nuggets of information.

This icon draws attention to certain  
features and functions relating to the usage  
of ProDX.

Things to Remember:

•  Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.  

     Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for  
    information on hearing protection.

•   Save the shipping box and packing materials!  

    You may need them someday. Besides, the cats  
    will love playing in them and jumping out at you  
    unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you are  
   surprised!

•   Save your sales receipt in a safe place.

The following steps will help you set up ProDX 

quickly.

These startup instructions are intended for 
the hardware only. Once proven that ProDX 
performs as desired, then pair it with a smart 
phone and control it via the MixerConnect 
app (as detailed on page 8).

1. Make all initial connections with the power switch  

 OFF.

2. Connect cords from the main outs to powered   

  speakers (or to an amplifier connected to passive  
 speakers).

3. Plug signal sources into ProDX, such as:

   • Microphones plugged into the mic inputs.
   • Instrument level sources, such as acoustic   

    guitars w/ active pickups and line-level sources  
    such as keyboards and drum machines plugged  
    into the 1/4" inputs.

   • Music playback source such as a smart phone,  

    computer or MP3 player plugged into the 1/8"  
    input or smart phone paired and connected  
    via Bluetooth.

4. Push the power supply connector securely into  

  the mixer’s connector and plug the other end into  
  an AC outlet.

5. Turn the ProDX on.

6. Turn the powered speakers (or amplifiers) on.

7. Be sure that the volume of the input is set  

 

  correctly. Select the input channel by pressing  
  the corresponding channel button and ensure  
  the level is about halfway. Adjust the rotary knob  
  if you need a different level for your source.

8. Slowly bring up the main output level to a  

 

  comfortable listening level by selecting the main  
  output on the front panel and slowly turning the  
  encoder to the right.

9. Read the rest of this manual and the MixerConnect  

  app Reference Guide for more details!
