Functions

1. Type B USB Port: Can be connected to a computer or a power supply with USB output. When the mixer is connected to a computer, the USB port serves as an audio output (mixed-signal) and as an audio input (audio data from source).

2. Line In RCA Stereo Input: These jacks are used for connecting any number of line-level signal sources: mixing consoles, samplers, CD players, cassette decks, DAT machines, and other audio interfaces. Mono audio sources can be connected using an RCA “Y” cable connector.

3. Mic/Line Input: This XLR/I/4″ combo input accepts XLR type connectors for mic input and W for line-level devices. When connecting a mic, be sure to use a balanced cable. The XLR jack is set to 18V of phantom power and is suitable for condenser microphones.

4. 2-TK RCA Stereo Input: These jacks are used for connecting any number of stereo line-level signal sources.

5. Main Mix RCA Stereo Outputs: These jacks are used to send the main mix signal to an amplifier or speakers. It is also used to send the main mix signal to a recording device.

6. Power On LED Indicator Will is green when the unit is powered on.

7. Power Switch

8. 3.5mm Microphone input. This jack is set to 18V of phantom power and is suitable for condenser microphones.

9. 3.5mm Monitor Headphone Jack: This allows you to monitor input and output signals.

10. Channel 1:
    a. Gain control: adjusts the input volume
    b. Echo control: adjusts the echo effect
    c. High tone control: 12KHz ±15dB
    Low tone control: 80Hz ±15dB
    d. Pan control
    e. Peak LED: indicates when clipping is occurring
    f. Level control: adjust the output volume

11. Wireless Streaming LED Indicator: Indicates when a Bluetooth connection is established.

12. Wireless Streaming Pairing Button: Press the button and the unit will automatically go into painting mode. The wireless streaming LED indicator will flash once every second. You can connect to any Bluetooth device. Devices running Bluetooth 3.0 or less may require a password: 0000. Once a Bluetooth device is successfully connected, the LED indicator will flash twice every five seconds. The unit will automatically connect to the last paired device. If no device is available is discovered within 30 seconds, the unit will go into standby mode and the LED indicator will flash once every five seconds.

13. 2-TK Button: This button is used to determine where the 2-TK RCA input signal will go. When the button is in the down position, the signal of will be assigned to the 3.5mm Monitor output. When the button is in the up position, the signal will be assigned to Main Mix RCA outputs and USB output on the back of the unit.

14. Monitor control: Adjust the volume of the 3.5mm headphone output.

15. Left/Right Clip LEDs: Indicate when the stereo output signal is clipping.

16. Line/USB Selector Buttons: From – This button allows you to select the input signal source. When the button is in the down position, the signal source will be the USB input. When the button is in the up position, the signal source will be from the Line In or 2-TK RCA inputs.

17. Main Mix: Used to set the level of the stereo output signal of the Main Mix RCA outputs and the USB output on the back of the unit.

18. Line/USB Control: Used to set the level of the Line In RCA inputs and the USB input on the back of the unit.

Operation

• Prior to connection/disconnection and prior to powering on, the output controls Monitor and Main Mix should be turned all the way down.
• Microphones and/or audio sources with line-level signals (e.g. effect units, musical instruments, players) can be connected to the five input
• Mono channel CH1: Combined XLR / 1/4″ jack is available as inputs.
• Connect microphones to the balanced CH1 XLR jack or 3.5mm mic in ( ) jack. These jacks always supply 18 volts of phantom power and are thus suitable for condenser microphones.
• The Line In input of the Line/USB stereo channel allows you to connect an audio source with line-level signal (e.g. CD player) via RCA plugs: L = left channel, R = right channel.
• The 2-TK input of the stereo channel allows you to connect an audio source with a line-level signal (e.g. Recorder, MP3 player, etc.)
• The 3.5mm Monitor headphone out ( ) jack allows you to connect stereo headphones (impedance z16 ohm). Thus, you will be able to monitor the output signal or the input signal of the 2-TK via headphones.
• The output signal of the stereo Main Mix can be adjusted with the Main Mix Control. This output allows you to connect an amplifier or a second mixer via a 3.5mm connection.

Computer Operation
When operating the mixer with a computer, either uses the audio software supplied with the operating system or an audio software installed additionally. Various programs for audio reproduction/ recording are available on the internet free of charge.

1. Start the computer. Connect the ROCK MIX 5’s USB port to the computer’s USB port using the included cable.
2. Switch on the mixer. The Power LED indicator will light up green.
3. The computer should recognize the USB interface of the mixer as an external device for audio input and audio output, e.g. as “USB EarMi­crophone”, depending on the operating system. The required drivers (standard operating system drivers) should be available on the computer. Note: If the required drivers are not available on the computer, install them via the original CD of the operating system or download them online. Restart the computer after installation, if necessary.
4. Open the reproduction/recording program and change the required settings for audio reproduction via the mixer or audio recording from the mixer (check the user manual of your program for information on how to change the audio settings). If it is not possible to record or reproduce any sound, be sure to activate the USB interface for audio input or audio output in the system settings of the computer. Hint: If the mixer is connected to a computer and to any units grounded via their mains cables (e.g. amplifier), there may be a humming noise due to ground loops. To eliminate this noise, connect the mixer to the corresponding unit via a ground isolator.

Power Supply Operation:
PLEASE NOTE: Use a USB power source with an output of 5V/500mA.

1. Connect the mixer to the power source via the supplied USB cable.
2. Power on the mixer. The power indicator LED should be green.

General Settings:

• Set the Gain, EQ, and pan controls to the mid position. Turn all level controls to Min.

• When connecting a microphone to the 3.5mm mic in( ) jack, speak into the microphone and turn up the Monitor Level control until you ob­tain a good signal. If you need to turn it up completely but still haven’t achieved a good signal, turn up the CH1 Gain control until you do. How­ever, if the Peak LED indicator lights up and does not turn off immediately, turn down the Gain control until it turns off. The Peak LED indicator must only briefly light up with level peaks.

• Use the Pan control to place the microphone signal on the stereo base. Adjust the sound with the High and Low tone controls.

• Turn up the Line/USB level control until you obtain a good signal. You can select the Line/USB audio source using the “FROM” button in the Line/USB section of the mixer. For a line-level signal from the Line In RCA inputs, the button must be in the up position. For a signal from the USB input, the button must be in the down position. Use the CH1 and Line/USB level controls to mix the input signals of CH1 and Line/USB or to fade them in and out. When a channel is not used, set it’s control to “MIN”.

• Use the Main Mix control to set the level of the output signal that is sent via the Main Mix RCA jacks and the USB port. If one of the Left/ Right Clip LED indicators lights up red, turn back the Main Mix control accordingly.

• The 3.5mm Monitor headphone out ( ) jack allows you to monitor the output signal of the mixer. For this purpose, the 2-TK/BT TO button must be in the down position.

• Adjust the headphone volume with the Monitor level control.

WARNING: Listening to music at high volume for extended periods of time is not recommended as it may damage your hearing. Over time, your ears will adapt to the volume level, so that a volume level that may not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
