GETTING STARTED
Although the Submix is extremely easy to use, we suggest you follow these simple
instructions before using it. As with all audio equipment, always ensure all levels are turned
down and equipment is turned off before making any connections or inserting the Submix into
a 500 series power rack. This common practice ensures turn-on transients will not damage
more sensitive components such as tweeters. Screw the module in to ensure it does not
accidentally get dislodged.
Making connections
Four high-impedance ¼” inputs on the front panel correspond to the four level controls. Line-
level sources connect to the inputs using standard instrument cables. Mixer channel-1 can
also accept a balanced line signal via the rear panel XLR input jack. However, the front jack
has priority over the rear and inserting a plug into the front channel-1 ¼” input will defeat the
rear XLR input. To use the rear XLR input, ensure the front input is not connected.
The Submix uses the rear panel XLR output for the master mix output. This balanced
line-level signal connects to your recorder or mixing console or to more 500 series signal
processors like the Radial Komit compressor. If you are using the Submix in a Workhorse
power rack, the FEED function can automatically route the output to the adjacent module.

Omniport
If you are using the Submix in a
Radial Workhorse power rack the
Omniport feature will be available.
In this instance with the Submix, the
Omniport acts as a mixer expansion
buss allowing additional Submix
modules to link together to form
larger confi gurations like 8x1, 12x1,
etc. The easiest way to connect
Submix modules would be with a
standard ¼” patch cable from the
fi rst module’s output to the second
module’s Omniport jack.
