CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Notes:
y When recording a guitar or bass with an active pickup, set the MultiMix 4 USB's GUITAR / LINE SWITCH to "LINE." If your
instrument uses a passive pickup, connect it to LINE INPUT 1 and set the switch to "GTR." (You may use a line-level mono
source connected to LINE INPUT 2 at the same time.)
y To reduce electrical hum at high gain settings, keep the MultiMix 4 USB's power supply away from your guitar cable and the
MultiMix 4 USB's channel inputs.
