Antex Electronics DMX8 USB Mixer - Manual (Page 7)

Environment
The DMX8 USB Mixer should be installed in a clean, dust free, location that will allow
free air to circulate around it for cooling purposes. Overly hot, closely enclosed, humid,
dirty or dusty environments should be avoided. Having decided on a suitable location for
the DMX8 USB Mixer, read the following section when installing and connecting
equipment.
Connections
Connecting the equipment involves the placement and connection of microphones or other
input devices and cables, connection to a computer and any monitoring equipment and the
testing of the complete system.
Microphones
Place microphones as close as practical to the users but avoid restricting their view of the
room. Be aware of the need for space to place papers and books without knocking or
covering the microphone.
Ensure microphones are a minimum of 3 feet (1 meter) from sources of electronic
interference such as the DMX8 USB Mixer, computer and lighting.
Microphone Cables
Connect the cabling between the microphones and the DMX8 USB Mixer. If possible
conceal and secure the cables to prevent them from being damaged or entangled by users.
Avoid placing cables near possible sources of interference such as power cables, lights,
monitors and computers. When connecting microphone cables do not lay the cables under
or over the DMX8 USB Mixer. They must lead directly away.
Recording Equipment
Connect the USB output of the DMX8 USB Mixer directly to an available Hi-Speed USB
interface on your computer. Do not connect the DMX8 USB Mixer to the computer via a
hub or repeater. You will require a Hi-Speed rated USB cable like the one supplied with
the DMX8 USB Mixer to make this connection.
Monitoring Equipment
The Monitor outputs on the DMX8 USB Mixer may be used for a range of different
purposes including telephone and/or video conferencing, public address via an amplifier
