Frequently Asked Questions - LiveMix CS-DUO Digital Audio Labs

How do I connect the LiveMix CS-DUO to my computer?

Use the USB-C port on the rear panel to connect to your computer. The mixer will appear as a class-compliant audio device, no drivers required on macOS, while Windows may need a driver download from the Digital Audio Labs website.

Can I use the mixer without phantom power for dynamic microphones?

Yes, phantom power can be turned off per channel using the switch located next to each input. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and can be used safely without it.

What is the maximum input level?

The maximum input level for the mic/line inputs is +22 dBu, ensuring compatibility with both microphones and line-level sources.

How do I adjust the built-in reverb effect?

Each channel has a dedicated reverb send knob (REV). Turn it clockwise to increase the amount of reverb applied to that channel. The master reverb level is controlled by the global REV RETURN knob.

Can I stream Bluetooth audio through the mixer?

Yes, the LiveMix CS-DUO has built-in Bluetooth. Pair your device by pressing the Bluetooth button on the front panel and selecting the mixer from your device's Bluetooth settings. The audio will be routed to the main outputs.

Is the mixer suitable for live streaming?

Absolutely. With USB audio interface capabilities, two mic inputs, and Bluetooth input, it's ideal for podcasting, streaming, or small live performances. The headphone output allows for private monitoring.

How do I perform a factory reset?

To reset to factory defaults, hold down the EQ and REV buttons simultaneously while powering on the unit. All settings will be cleared.

What type of power adapter does it use?

It uses a 12V DC, 1A center-positive adapter. The barrel connector is 5.5mm outer diameter, 2.1mm inner diameter. Only use the provided adapter or a compatible replacement.

Can I connect a subwoofer?

Yes, you can connect a powered subwoofer via the main XLR outputs using a Y-cable or external crossover. Alternatively, use the monitor output if available.

How do I clean the mixer?

Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use chemical cleaners or allow moisture to enter the unit.

CONTENTS OF BOX

The CS-DUO contains the following pieces inside the box:

- CS-DUO unit

ANATOMY OF THE CS-DUO

TOP SURFACE

1. CONTROL BUTTON: Each CS-DUO can create two mixes, an A mix and a B mix. PRESS the CONTROL button to take control of the CS-DUO and adjust your personal mix. You will know which mix is being adjusted by the color of the touchscreen and illuminated buttons. The A mix is blue and the B mix is red. Become familiar with the color of your mix so that you always know if you are in control.

2. COLOR TOUCHSCREEN: The color touchscreen allows you to interact with the user interface by touching the screen directly. The color screen will automatically update knobs and buttons.

3. MASTER VOLUME: ROTATE this control to adjust the overall level of each mix. The master volume affects both the level of the headphone output and volume of the rear panel output. The master volume can be adjusted at any time, regardless of what mix is in control. PRESS this control to access the Master Output settings.

NOTE:

The touchscreen on the CS-DUO is resistive not capacitive. It may require a bit more pressure than you are used to. One of the advantages of this kind of screen is that you can use guitar picks, styluses, or other firm objects to interact.

1. ME KNOB: The ME knob adjusts the volume of the assigned ME group. Pressing the ME knob will allow you to configure which specific combination of channels make up the ME group. See the section "Group and ME" for more details.

2. ADJUST VOLUME & PAN KNOB: This knob adjusts the volume, as well as the left-right stereo panning, for any selected channel. On the Channel Overview, PRESS the knob to toggle between volume and pan. When adjusting the volume or pan, a pop up will appear on the touchscreen to give you a larger visual of the volume or pan level. On other screens, pressing this knob will cycle through selectable options

3. CHANNEL SELECT BUTTONS: This group of buttons allows you to select any of the 24 audio channels. During a performance, it may be easier to select a channel with a button than with the touchscreen, particularly if you know which channel you want to adjust.

BACK PANEL

1. CS PORT: This connects to one of the Control Surface Ports on the MIX-16/32 unit and supplies audio data and power to the CS-DUO.

2. USB PORT: The USB port allows you to load and save personal mixes. It is also used for updating the personal mixer. See the section "Loading/Saving a Personal Mix" for more details.

3. MIX A OUTPUT: This 14 " jack is one of the two outputs for the A mix. This can be configured for either stereo or balanced mono operation. See the section "Master Output" for more details.

4. MIX B OUTPUT: This 14 " jack is one of the two outputs for the B mix. This can be configured for either stereo or balanced mono operation. See the section "Master Output" for more details.

5. FOOT SWITCH CONNECTOR: Connect the optional Livemix foot switch to this port allowing hands-free mix control. See the section "Foot switch Connector" for more details.

6. AMBIENT MICROPHONES: These ports house the built-in ambient microphones. The ambient stage signal can be added to your personal monitor mix

FRONT PANEL

1. MIX A HEADPHONES: Connect your headphones to this 18 " connector to listen to the A mix. If the system is configured for mono output (see Master Output section), this will be mono.

2. MIX B HEADPHONES: Connect your headphones to this 18 " connector to listen to the B mix. If the system is configured for mono output (see Master Output section), this will be mono.

15.AUXILIARY INPUT: This 18 " unbalanced stereo input allows you to connect an auxiliary audio device, such as a portable music player, phone, laptop or metronome. The audio from the auxiliary device can be shared with other CS-DUOs, which can be useful for playing along to pre-recorded music while learning a new song.

A MORE PERSONAL MIX

The ME group allows you to select which channels represent you. If you are singing and playing guitar, it may be your vocal and guitar channels. If you are a drummer, it may be all your drums. Vocalists may just have one channel. The ME group ensures quick access to your volume relative to the overall mix.

SETUP AND OPERATION

Setting up the CS-DUO is as simple as connecting a CAT5 or CAT6 network cable from the CS-DUO to an available port on the MIX-16/32.

Once connected, turn on the MIX-16/32. This supplies power and audio data to the CS-DUO. The system will require some basic setup, this is performed on the CS-DUO. See the Global Setup section for details.

CS-DUO GENERAL CONCEPTS

To best understand how to use the CS-DUO, it is helpful to become familiar with some important concepts.

1. The CS-DUO is two mixers in one.
2. Some adjustments are local and apply only to your mix, and others are global and apply to the entire system.
3. Your can mix in the Channel Overview or the Single Channel View depending on what you are most comfortable with.

TWO MIXERS IN ONE: TAKE CONTROL

The CS-DUO provides two complete personal mixers and headphone amplifiers in a single unit so that two users can create and control their own monitor mix. The A mix is represented by the color BLUE, and the B mix is represented by the color RED.

It is a good habit to always press the CONTROL button for your mix before making any adjustments. This ensures that you are in control of the personal mixer when you make a change.

When you take control, the colors of the touchscreen will switch to the appropriate color. This way, you always know which of the two mixes is being adjusted. All channel select buttons and touchscreen controls are assigned to the selected mix.

For the most commonly used functions, each mix has a dedicated set of controls. These controls include:

1. The MASTER VOLUME knob controls the volume level for each mix output. The MASTER VOLUME can be adjusted regardless of which mix is in control.
2. The ME knob controls the volume of the ME group. The ME knob can be adjusted regardless of which mix is in control.
3. The ADJUST VOL & PAN knob is used to adjust the volume and pan of the selected channel or to adjust a selected function. PRESSING the ADJUST knob will toggle between volume and pan, or tab between selected functions.
   You can also take control by ROTATING the ADJUST knob for your mix.

NOTE:

LOCAL VS. GLOBAL

Each CS-DUO can make changes to a personal mix or be used to make changes that effect the entire system. Local changes are those that apply to your personal mix only. These include:

• Volume and pan adjustments
- Master output effects (effects applied to your overall stereo mix)

Global changes not only affect your CS-DUO but also the other CS-DUO units in the system. Examples of global changes would include:

• Adjusting the system time
  • Changing the channel effects
• Naming a channel

The global menu items (accessible from the Mix Tools tab on the touchscreen) will appear purple, indicating that changes made are global in nature. The exception to this is the channel effects. These will still appear in the color of the selected mix. This is explained in the Channel Effects section.

NOTE:

Before making a change to the channel effects, you will be prompted with a message reminding you that the changes are global.

CHANNEL OVERVIEW VS. SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW

Livemix provides two viewing options for creating or adjusting a mix. We recommend that you use the Channel Overview for mixing as it allows you to quickly identify which channels you want to adjust. The Single Channel View provides additional functions like mute and solo, but as the title suggests, only shows one channel at a time.

To access the Single Channel View from the Channel Overview, LONG PRESS the channel name on the touchscreen or the corresponding hardware button.

To exit the Single Channel View, press the X in the upper right corner.

CHANNEL OVERVIEW

SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW

GETTING STARTED WITH THE CS-DUO

THE OVERVIEW SCREEN

The default view when the CS-DUO is powered up is the Channel Overview. Each channel in the overview screen shows the following information:

1. CHANNEL NUMBER: This is the number of the audio channel on the network. The Livemix system allows up to 24 input channels.
2. CHANNEL NAME: This is the custom channel name. See Naming a Channel in the next section for details.
3. SIGNAL LEVEL INDICATOR: This small colored square serves as a signal level meter for the channel. It is colored gray if no signal is present, then illuminates in green, yellow, and finally red as the signal increases in level. Turn down your source volume if you see red.
4. VOLUME LEVEL: This horizontal strip shows the current volume level of the channel
5. PAN LEVEL (NOT SHOWN): The volume strip switches to pan by pressing the ADJUST knob.
6. SHOW 13-24: PRESS this button to switch the Channel Overview display to channels 13-24. PRESS it again to switch back to channels 1-12.
7. ACCESSORY CHANNELS: PRESS this button to view the Accessory Channels screen, where you can adjust levels for other audio sources such as the built-in intercom, metronome, ambient microphones, and the auxiliary input. See the "Accessory Channels" section for more details.
8. MIX TOOLS: PRESS this button to go to the Mix Tools page, where you can perform other advanced mixing functions. See the Mix Tools section for more details.

ACCESSING THE SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW

The Single Channel view provides additional mixing features and provides access to the deeper controls of the Livemix system like channel effects. You can switch to the Single Channel View three different ways:

• LONG PRESS the desired channel hardware button
• LONG PRESS the desired channel on the touchscreen
• PRESS Mix Tools from the Channel Overview and select the Single Channel View menu option.

SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW SCREEN

1. CHANNEL NUMBER/NAME: This field shows channel number and name. LONG PRESS to navigate to the channel name entry screen. Changing the channel name is a Global Change. See the section "Naming a Channel" for more details.

2. EQ/DYNAMICS PRESET: LONG PRESS the EQ & Dynamics Preset button to navigate to the screen where you can select a preset that adjusts EQ and dynamics for the current channel. Changing the preset or other Channel Effect settings are Global Changes. See the section "Selecting an EQ / Dynamics Preset" for more details.

3. MUTE BUTTON: PRESS the Mute button to silence the channel in a mix. When a channel is muted, a red bar will illuminate in the top right of the touchscreen.

4. SOLO BUTTON: PRESS the Solo button to silence all non-soloed channels in a mix. When a channel is soloed, a yellow bar will illuminate in the top right of the touchscreen.
5. GROUP INDICATOR (IF SELECTED CHANNEL IS IN AN ACTIVE GROUP): If the selected channel is in a group, the Group button will display which group the channel is in. If the selected channel is not in a group this button will not be displayed.
6. VOLUME AND PAN DISPLAY: Shows the volume level and pan position of the selected channel.
7. PREVIOUS/NEXT CHANNEL: Go to the next or previous channel.
8. EXIT BUTTON: PRESS this button to exit the Single Channel View and return to the Channel Overview.

See the section "Advanced Monitor Mixing with the Single Channel View Screen" for more details on using this screen to control your personal monitor mix.

NAMING A CHANNEL

You can assign custom channel names to each of the 24 incoming audio channels. Channel names are displayed in both the Channel Overview screen and the Single Channel View screen.

To assign a name to a selected channel:

- Navigate to the Single Channel View screen for the desired channel

- LONG PRESS the channel number display at the top of the screen

- PRESS the letters on the on-screen keyboard to enter the desired channel name. Use the uppercase, number and special character buttons and delete keys as needed

- When you have finished naming a channel, use the Next Channel and Previous Channel buttons to move to a different channel

- When you have finished naming channels, PRESS the Done button in the lower right hand corner

NOTE:

Channel names are a global setting, which means that when you name the channels on your unit, the channel names will automatically be sent to all the CS-DUO units on the network. You do not need to repeat the naming procedure for all the units on the network.

CREATING A PERSONAL MONITOR MIX

Creating a personal mix while on the Channel Overview screen is easy.

1. PRESS the CONTROL button to take control of the mix.
2. PRESS the hardware channel select button or select the channel directly on the touchscreen.
3. ROTATE the ADJUST knob to raise or lower the volume of the channel you have just selected.
4. PRESS the ADJUST knob to switch to pan mode. ROTATE the knob to adjust the left-right panning of the selected channel. PRESS the ADJUST knob again to switch back to volume mode.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for all other channels you wish to adjust.

TIPS FOR STARTING YOUR PERSONAL MIX

• START AT ZERO - Load MIX 23 for a staring point and set your master volume to 50 - 80% .
• ADD TIMING REFERENCE - Mix the channels that determine the tempo and timing. This will often be the drums. Start with Kick in the center and add snare and hi-hats panned off center. You don't need all the drums, start with these three.
• ADD PITCH REFERENCE - Mix the channels you need for pitch reference. Limit this to 1 or 2 channels like a piano or acoustic guitar. These will ensure your are singing or playing the right notes. Move them off center to create space.
• ADD THE LEADER - This will often be the lead vocal, this helps you hear where the song is going.
• ADD YOU - Bring up "you" so that you can hear yourself, but don't overpower the rest of the mix.
• ADD THE REST - Add other channels at lower levels and pan to the left or right to create space. Try not to have any channels panned to the same location. It may help to pan based on where the instruments are on stage, though this isn't always practical.
• REVERB OR AMBIENT MICS - After mixing, choose either Reverb or Ambient Mics to "open up" the mix. For Reverb, press the Master Volume knob and select a type. For Ambient Mics, adjust level on the Accessory Channel screen. Add slowly so the mix doesn't clutter.

You don't need to hear everything! Some instruments are not essential to your performance and can be reduced in the mix making space for the important channels.

GROUPS AND THE ME GROUP

It is often advantageous to group channels together so you can make volume adjustments to all the channels in the group at once. The most common channels to group are drums, stereo instruments (like keyboards), and background vocals.

The CS-DUO allows you to create up to five groups, including the ME group, which differs from other groups in that it has a dedicated knob. This way, you can select which channels represent you (perhaps it is one channel, or it could be many) so that you can adjust your own volume with the ME knob.

CONFIGURE A GROUP

1. PRESS the ME knob that corresponds to your mix.
2. PRESS the channels that you wish to group. You can use the touchscreen or the channel keys. To see additional channels, press the Show 13-24 button.
3. PRESS the X to exit, or press Show Next Group to setup additional groups and repeat step 2.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF A GROUP

To adjust the volume of a group, select any one of the channels in the group. Multiple channel keys will be illuminated indicating multiple channels are selected. On the touchscreen, the selected channels will be gray. The Active Channel will have a white outline.

Use the ADJUST knob to change the volume of the selected group.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF THE ME GROUP

To adjust the volume of the ME group, ROTATE the ME knob.

NOTE:

Groups only affect the volume adjustments. Pan adjustments will still be adjusted separately.

Although the channels are selected as a group the active channel is indicated by a white outline. Volume adjustments affect the whole group, pan adjustments only affect the Active Channel.

NOTE:

A channel can only be in one group at a time. If you attempt to group a channel that is part of another group, the CS-DUO will ask you to verify that you want to move that channel to the new group.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF A SINGLE CHANNEL IN A GROUP

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF A SINGLE CHANNEL IN A GROUP FROM THE CHANNEL OVERVIEW

When you select a channel that is in a group from the Channel Overview, all the channels in the group will be selected, but the channel you selected will be active, as indicated by a white outline on the touchscreen. To adjust the volume of a single channel in a group:

1. Select the channel you wish to adjust.

2. LONG PRESS the ADJUST knob to temporarily remove the channel from the group. The active channel will flash.

3. Use the ADJUST knob to adjust the volume of the channel.

4. PRESS the ADJUST knob to return the channel to the group.

ACTIVE vs. SELECTED:

When selecting a channel that is part of a group, the channel you press will be "active". The other channels in the group will also highlight to indicate they are a part of the group. They will be selected, but only one channel at a time can be active.

Active channels and functions will always have a white outline.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF A SINGLE CHANNEL IN A GROUP FROM THE SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW

When a channel is in a group, the Single Channel View will indicate which group it is in with a light blue button. To temporarily remove an Active Channel from a group:

1. LONG PRESS the blue group button. It will start flashing.
2. Use the ADJUST knob to adjust the volume of the channel
3. PRESS the flashing group button to return the channel to the group.

LOADING & SAVING A PERSONAL MIX

ADVANCED MIXING - SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW

The majority of your mixing can be performed in the Channel Overview screen, however, Livemix provides a number of professional tools that can be used to help create a better mix. These features are accessed from the Single Channel View.

MUTE BUTTON

PRESS the Mute button to silence the channel in a mix. When a channel is muted, a red bar will illuminate in the top right of the touchscreen as an indication that there is a muted channel. A MUTE icon will also be visible in the Channel Overview for the muted channel.

SOLO BUTTON

PRESS the Solo button to silence all non-soloed channels in a mix. When a channel is soloed, a yellow bar will illuminate in the top right of the touchscreen. A SOLO icon will also be visible in the Channel Overview for the soloed channel.

NOTE:

The Mute and Solo functions apply to groups as well. If a channel is in a group and you press mute, it will mute the entire group.

GROUP INDICATOR (IF SELECTED CHANNEL IS IN AN ACTIVE GROUP)

If the selected channel is in a group, the Group button will display which group the channel is in. If the selected channel is not in a group this button will not be displayed.

You can temporarily remove a channel from its group by performing a LONG PRESS on the Group button. Once the Group button flashes, you can make adjustments to the volume of the channel. PRESS the Group button again to place the channel back in the group.

ACCESSING PRESETS AND EFFECTS

The Single Channel View is the gateway to deeper channel configuration. LONG PRESS on the EQ & Dynamics button to access these deeper functions.

Before you make any changes to the Channel effects, you will be prompted with a screen reminding you that these changes are Global in nature and will affect what every mix in the system hears. You must press Continue to access the Channel effect settings.

WARNING:

Changes made to individual channel effects are Global in nature and will be heard across the whole system. Channel effect changes will be saved in the Global Template.

SELECTING A PRESET

The CS-DUO allows you to select from a list of equalization and dynamics presets that enhance the sound of the selected channel. These presets are generic so be sure to use your ears to determine if a preset works for the selected channel.

Note that the enhancements to the different audio channels are a global change, not a local one. This means that any processing presets that you (or anyone else on the network) apply to a channel, will be heard by everyone on the network.

TO SELECT AN EQ / DYNAMICS PRESET:

1. LONG PRESS the EQ & Dynamics Preset button.
2. PRESS continue on the warning screen.
3. ROTATE the ADJUST knob to select a preset
4. PRESS the X to return to the Single Channel View.

In the channel preset screen, you are presented with a list of useful presets, organized by different instruments. Each preset is custom designed to apply

equalization and dynamics adjustments that complement the specific instrument the preset is named after.

While on the Channel Preset screen, you can also PRESS the Previous Channel and Next Channel buttons to quickly navigate to other audio channels, and then select a preset to apply to them in the same fashion.

Using this method, you can quickly and easily apply processing presets to all the channels, as needed.

ADJUSTING THE CHANNEL EQ

This 3-band EQ can be used to tailor the overall sound of the selected channel. The Channel EQ is a powerful tool, it is best to make small adjustments and continually listen to make sure that the changes enhance the source or make it fit better in the mix.

TO ADJUST THE LEVEL OF THE THREE EQ BANDS:

1. While still on the EQ & Dynamics Preset screen, PRESS the Channel EQ button.
2. PRESS one of the three bands to adjust.
3. ROTATE the ADJUST knob to cut or boost the band.

TO ADJUST THE FREQUENCY OF THE THREE EQ BANDS:

1. LONG PRESS one of the EQ bands.
2. ROTATE the ADJUST knob to change the center frequency of the EQ curve.

You can also PRESS the ADJUST knob to tab through the EQ bands for both the boost/cut and frequency modes.

FOR THE TECHNICALLY INCLINED:

The EQ for the high and lower are shelving with a Q of 0.707. The mid is peak/dip with a Q of 1.5.

ADJUSTING THE CHANNEL HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF)

The High Pass Filter allows you to roll off some of the low frequencies that can lead to muddy sounding mixes. As a rule of thumb, it is a good idea to have a HPF on most tracks that do not contribute to the low end of the mix.

To access the High Pass Filter, PRESS the HPF Settings button from the Channel EQ screen.

PRESS one of the five HPF frequency choices:

• OFF: HPF bypassed.

- 40Hz: 40Hz or lower will be filtered out. This setting is good for most instruments.

- 80Hz: 80Hz or lower will be filtered out. This setting will cut out some 60Hz hum and noise, good for male vocals.

- 150Hz: 150Hz or lower will be filtered out. This is another good setting for cutting hum. It is also good for many stringed instruments.

- 250Hz: 250Hz or lower will be filtered out. This is a good setting for higher pitched instruments and female vocals.

NOTE:

The Channel EQ and HPF Settings share a page tab. When on the Channel EQ page, the HPF Settings tab will be visible. When on the HPF Settings page, the Channel EQ tab will be visible.

ADJUSTING THE CHANNEL DYNAMICS

Dynamics are the amount of difference, or the dynamic range between the softest sound you hear in your mix, and the loudest. To even out the dynamics in a mix, a tool called a compressor is used.

To access the compressor, press the Channel Dynamics button. The compressor has two controls, one is the amount of compression applied to the channel, the second is the type.

ROTATE the ADJUST knob to adjust the amount of compression applied to the mix.

PRESS any of the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen to select how much compression you want.

1. OFF: Compressor bypassed.
2. LIGHT/MEDIUM/HEAVY: Differing amounts of compression will be applied to the dynamic range of your mix. Try each setting and see which one sounds best

ACCESSORY CHANNELS

In addition to the 24 channels of audio, Livemix provides four accessory channels.

To access the four accessory channels, PRESS the Accessory Channels button at the bottom of the Channel Overview screen.

Each of the accessory channels can be blended into your mix exactly the same as any other channel. Some of the Accessory Channels offer additional features through their respective Single Channel View screens.

AMBIENT MICROPHONE

Ambient noise is the sound of the stage and room around you. The CS-DUO has two built-in microphones for adding some of the ambient noise back into your mix. This is useful when using headphones or in-ear monitors as it is easy to feel “closed off” due to the sealed nature of those monitoring systems. Adding ambient sound is not really necessary when using a stage monitor speaker, because you can already hear the sound of the stage around you.

NOTE:

If you find you are playing with one in-ear monitor in and the other out, adjust the level of ambient noise in your mix. Playing with one in-ear monitor out is dangerous to your hearing.

By adding in some of the ambient sound of the stage and

audience, you can make your in-ear mix sound much more natural, because you are hearing the sound of the audience and the reverberation of the hall you are performing in.

INTERCOM

The Livemix system contains a built-in intercom that allows performers to communicate with each other.

To use the Intercom, first adjust the volume level of the Intercom on the Accessory Channels page. This allows you to hear other performers when they activate the Intercom button.

To communicate to other performers, LONG PRESS and HOLD the CONTROL button on the CS-DUO. You can now speak and the microphones in the CS-DUO will pick up your voice and transmit it to all the other CS-DUOs on the network. When done talking, release the CONTROL button.

If someone has trouble hearing you, make sure they have the Intercom channel on their own mix turned up. Also, the ambient microphones are on the CS-DUO so make sure you talk towards the CS-DUO unit.

AUX INPUT

This is the signal from any audio source feeding the 18 " Aux In connector located on the front panel of the CS-DUO. You can adjust the amount of the Aux In signal that you hear, combined with your 24-channel mix—handy for practicing a song or phrase, or even for external metronome use.

In addition to the standard volume and pan options, the Aux Input has two other functions accessible via the Single Channel View.

SHARE AUX

The Share Aux button allows you to share your Auxiliary Input with other CS-DUOs in the system.

When Share Aux is not selected, only you will hear the audio on your Auxiliary Input. This is useful for a local click track or guide track.

When Share Aux is selected, you share the audio on your Auxiliary Input with anyone who has their Monitor All Aux button selected. You can use this to let everyone hear (and play along with) a song on your phone or media device. Just make sure they select Monitor All Aux and turn up their Aux Input volume.

MONITOR ALL AUX

The Monitor All Aux button allows you to hear other Auxiliary inputs that are being shared. Leave this unselected if you do not want to hear other Auxiliary inputs.

NOTE:

The Share Aux and Monitor All Aux buttons are selected by default. This makes it easy to share songs. If someone doesnt hear the track being shared, first make sure their AUX INPUT volume is turned up, then make sure the appropriate buttons are selected.

METRONOME

The CS-DUO contains an internal metronome that can be used to keep everyone at the same tempo throughout a song. When the Metronome is activated, everyone can hear the click track as long as the Metronome volume is turned up in their mix.

In addition to the standard volume and pan options, the Metronome configuration is accessible via the Single Channel View.

BPM (BEATS PER MINUTE)

BPM displays the current tempo. The quickest way to set a tempo is to PRESS the BPM button and use the ADJUST knob to dial in a tempo.

MET ON/OFF BUTTON

The Met On/Off button turns the metronome off and on.

MET SETUP BUTTON

PRESS the Met Setup button to access the setup for the Metronome.

SETTING UP THE METRONOME

The internal metronome has a number of options that can be accessed by pressing the Met Setup button.

1. BPM: Press BPM to adjust the tempo of the metronome. Use the ADJUST knob to change the tempo.

2. BEATS PER MEASURE: PRESS the Beats per Measure button to cycle through the options for number of beats in each measure.

3. BEAT DIVISIONS: PRESS the Beat Divisions button to cycle through the options for dividing each beat. Beat divisions are played with a different click tone.

4. BEAT ACCENT: PRESS the Beat Accent button to accent the downbeat of each measure with a different click tone.

5. Beat Presets: PRESS one of the predetermined tempo buttons to instantly change to that

MORE ABOUT THE METRONOME

- The Metronome signal is global, so if a user starts metronome playback, everyone will hear it if the metronome volume is turned up for their CS-DUO unit.

- The Metronome can be changed by any CS-DUO user on the network.

- If you need more robust Metronome control than is offered by the internal metronome, you can use the CS-DUO's AUX IN connector with an external hardware metronome.

MIX TOOLS

The CS-DUO contains additional features and configuration options. To navigate to the Mix Tools screen, PRESS the Mix Tools button located at the bottom right of the Channel Overview screen.

SINGLE CHANNEL VIEW

This provides an alternate way to get to the Single Channel View. It is the same as performing a LONG PRESS on a channel key or a channel in the touchscreen.

GLOBAL SETUP

The Global Setup provides options to set up the overall system. The Global Setup options are described in detail in the Global Setup section.

LOAD / SAVE PERSONAL MIX

See the Loading & Saving a Personal Mix section for details.

MIX OUTPUT SETTINGS

This screen allows you to make adjustments to the master output. The Mix Output settings are saved with your mix when you save to the internal memory or USB drive.

MASTER EQ

The Master EQ is a three band EQ that can help to shape the overall master output. It does not have the granularity of the Channel EQ and is designed to make subtle overall tonal changes.

HPF SETTINGS

The High Pass Filter settings allow you to roll off the lower frequencies resulting in a less muddy overall mix.

MASTER DYNAMICS

The Master Dynamics allow you to apply compression to the overall mix.

NOTE:

The Master EQ and HPF Settings share a page tab. When on the Master EQ page, the HPF Settings tab will be visible. When on the HPF Settings page, the Master EQ tab will be visible.

MASTER REVERB

Master Reverb allows you to apply a reverberation effect to your stereo mix, in order to make it sound more natural and mimic the effects of a natural acoustic environment.

MASTER OUTPUT

The Master Output page is where you will assign the output options of the CS-DUO, and set some important system and ear protection settings.

MASTER EQ

This 3-band EQ can be used to tailor the overall sound of the monitor mix that you hear; you can adjust the mix to sound brighter, fuller, have more or less mid-range, etc. The Master EQ is designed to be subtle in its application. For shaping individual channel tone, use the Channel EQ.

To adjust any of the three EQ bands, PRESS the desired band on the screen (it will turn gray to indicate it is Active), then ROTATE the ADJUST knob to boost or cut the selected band.

You can also PRESS the ADJUST knob to quickly cycle selection among the three bands.

FOR THE TECHNICALLY INCLINED:

The mid Q on the Master EQ differs slightly from the Channel EQ. The mid is peak/dip with a Q of 1.2. The high and low are the same as the channel EQ.

HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF) SETTINGS:

A high-pass filter is a special type of EQ that lets the high-frequencies pass through your mix unaffected, but filters away the low frequencies. A high-pass filter can is a very useful feature in a monitor mixer, for different scenarios:

• Makes your personal mix sound more clear and intelligible, because it generally reduces the low-end rumble that can make things hard to hear.
• Some examples of monitoring equipment that may benefit would include in-ear monitors or headphones that have too high a bass-response, inexpensive stage monitors that may have

muffled sounding audio, or any connected stage monitor that uses a smaller diameter speaker that struggles and distorts when attempting to play very low frequencies.

By only sending the stage monitor or headphones the frequencies they can handle well, and filtering out the lower frequencies that are below their advertised frequency response, your monitors can work more efficiently, and not strain trying to reproduce frequencies they are not meant to reproduce.

You may also find that applying a 80Hz to 120Hz High Pass Filter to floor monitors with help clean up your master audience mix.

PRESS one of the four HPF frequency choices on the screen to select the specific HPF frequency that sounds best to you. Choices include:

1. OFF: No High-Pass filter is applied and your mix will pass through the full frequency range.
2. 40Hz: Only the very lowest frequencies, 40Hz or lower, will be filtered out
3. 80Hz: A larger amount of lower frequencies, 80Hz or lower, will be filtered out
4. 120Hz: The largest amount of lowest frequencies, everything from 120Hz or lower, will be filtered out

MASTER DYNAMICS

Dynamics are the amount of difference, or the dynamic range, between the softest sound you hear in your mix and the loudest. To even out the dynamics in a mix, a tool called a compressor is used.

PRESS any of the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen to select the type of compression you want.

• OFF: Compressor bypassed.
- LIGHT/MEDIUM/HEAVY: Differing amounts of compression will be applied to the dynamic range of your mix. Try each setting and see which one sounds best

ROTATE the ADJUST knob to adjust the amount of compression applied to the mix.

MASTER REVERB

When you hear instruments in an acoustic space such as a concert hall, theater or stadium, you are always hearing the natural reverberation of the environment.

The CS-DUO allows you to apply a reverberation effect (reverb) to your stereo mix, in order to make it sound more natural and mimic these effects.

PRESS any of the four buttons at the bottom of the screen to select how heavy of a reverb effect you want to apply to your stereo mix.

• OFF: Reverb bypassed.

• SMALL ROOM/MEDIUM ROOM/LARGE

ROOM: The reverb effect will become heavier and denser sounding as the selected room gets larger. Experiment with different settings to see what sounds best to you.

ROTATE the ADJUST knob to fine tune the amount of reverb applied to the mix.

MASTER OUTPUT

The Master Output page allows you to select the type of output you will be using (headphones or floor monitor), as well as adjust some settings that pertain to the overall volume of your mix.

HEADPHONES STEREO VS. BALANCED MONO

This setting affects how the 18 " jack (on the front of the unit) and the 14 " jack (on the back of the unit) output audio. The jacks on the CS-DUO can be configured for a Stereo or a Mono mix.

If you will be using headphones or in-ear monitors, select the Headphones Stereo button.

If you will be sending the output of the CS-DUO to floor monitors, select the Balanced Mono button.

VOLUME LIMIT

The headphone amplifier on the CS-DUO is a high performance amplifier and is capable of reproducing really loud sounds. To protect your hearing, the Volume Limit reduces the amount of overall volume available with the Master Volume knob. By turning down the Volume Limit, you ensure that even at a maximum Master Volume, you are listening at safe levels.

The Volume Limit will not affect the sound of your mix, it is completely transparent.

PEAK LIMITER

The Peak Limiter is a form of compressor that sets a hard limit and stops sounds from exceeding that limit. This function will protect the system and your ears from overly loud transients or other loud audio levels. Unlike the Volume Limit function, the Peak Limiter can affect the sound of your mix.

NOTE:

If using Livemix in Balanced Mono, the Intercom and Ambient Mics will be turned off. This is to prevent feedback and team communications from being heard through floor wedges.

NOTE:

When the mix is set to Balanced Mono, BOTH the front and back audio jacks will be set to mono. The channel panning control will still allow you to make adjustments but the left and right channels will be output in mono.

Technically, for the mono signal to be balanced, the CS-DUO outputs a mono signal to the Tip of the TRS connector, and its inverted mono signal to the ring. This creates a fully balanced mono output.

MIRRORMIX

MirrorMix allows you to hear and adjust another personal mix in the system. This allows more experienced users to aid others when necessary. It is a great tool for a front of house engineer or for training performers on personal mixing.

To connect to another mix, you will need to know the Port Number of that mix or the name of the mix that is loaded on the remote CS-DUO. The port number is derived from the port each CS-DUO is plugged into on the MIX-16/32. If the remote unit has loaded a mix, the mix name will also display in the MirrorMix Port selection box.

• MIX A (blue) will have an "A" after the port number, and be colored blue in the MirrorMix selection box.
• MIX B (red) will have a "B" after the port number and be colored red in the MirrorMix selection box.

TIP: The mix name and port number are visible from the Mix Tools screen of the remote unit. You may need the performer to let you know what port they are connected to with the intercom.

TO CONNECT TO ANOTHER CS-DUO:

• PRESS the MirrorMix button from the Mix Tools menu
• PRESS the button of the port/mix you wish to MirrorMix.
• When you see an orange colored Channel Overview, you will know you are mixing a remote mix. At this point, you will hear the remote mix and can make adjustments accordingly.
• You can also LOAD a mix to the remote CS-DUO. This will load from your local CS-DUO (or connected USB flash drive).
• To exit MirrorMix, press the X in the lower right of the Channel Overview.

NOTE:

While you can load a mix to a remote CS-DUO, you cannot save a mix remotely. Once you have created a remote mix, it is advisable for the remote user to save their mix.

FOOTSWITCH CONNECTOR

The 14 " connector on the CS-DUO rear panel allows connection of an optional foot pedal accessory. The FP-2 foot pedal allows you to adjust mix settings or activate the intercom on your CS-DUO while keeping your hands on your instruments.

SETTING UP THE FP-2 FOOT PEDAL

1. IN: Connect a 14 " TRS cable to the foot pedal jack on the CS-DUO. Make sure the cable is a TRS and has Tip, Ring, and Sleeve. A standard TS or guitar cable will not work with the FP-2.

2. A/B Switch: Set this switch to 'A' to control MIX A or 'B' to control MIX B.

3. THRU: The THRU connector allows you to connect two foot pedals to one CS-DUO, one for MIX A and one for MIX B. Use a TRS cable to connect the first pedal to the second pedal and assign the A/B switches accordingly.

The FP-2 foot pedal is simple to use. Each function is controlled by either a TAP or a HOLD on one of the buttons. A TAP is a short press, less than 1 sec in duration. A HOLD is a long press lasting more than a second.

1. TAP BUTTON 1: A short tap on button 1 will select the next channel on the CS-DUO. When you reach channel 24 it will select the Accessory Channels then cycle back to channel 1.

2. HOLD BUTTON 1: A long press on button 1 will return you to the ME Group. A second long press will select channel 1. If a ME Group is not set up, holding button 1 will return you to channel 1.

3. TAP BUTTON 2: A short tap on button 2 will turn up the volume of the selected channel.

4. HOLD BUTTON 2: A long press on button 2 will reduce the volume of the selected channel. The volume of the selected channel will continue to reduce as long as button 2 is held.

5. HOLD BUTTON 1 & BUTTON 2: A long press on both buttons simultaneously will activate the intercom feature of the CS-DUO. You will need to hold both buttons down for a full second before the intercom activates. The intercom will remain active until the buttons are released.

NOTE:

The only foot pedal that will function with the CS-DUO is the Livemix FP-2. Third party footswitches will not work. The FP-2 is available from your authorized Digital Audio Labs dealer.

INCORPORATING THE CS-DUO INTO YOUR STAGE SETUP

The CS-DUO has been designed to easily integrate into a variety of different stage setups. The following are some examples of how you can position your unit in order to easily view the color screen and work with the controls.

MICROPHONE STAND MOUNTING

The MT-1 mic-stand mount is dual position. When it is attached to the bottom of your CS-DUO, it can be attached to either the top of any standard microphone stand or to the vertical post. The MT-1 dual position microphone stand mount is available from your Livemix dealer.

TABLETOP USE

In some situations, you may wish to place your CS-DUO on a small table located on the stage. The CS-DUO's metal enclosure gives it a solid weight, ensuring that the unit will not be easily moved or pulled off of any surface that it is placed on.

LONG ETHERNET CABLES

The CS-DUO receives both its audio data and power from a single network cable. Any CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable will work with the CS-DUO.

Note that your CS-DUO may be located a fair distance from the MIX-16/32 that it is connected to, so you may need a network cable that is somewhat longer than the ones sold at a typical office

or computer store. Consult your Pro Audio dealer for options of network cables designed for the modern Pro Audio landscape, as they will use stage-critical features such as a longer length, more flexible and coilable cabling, and more rugged RJ-45 connectors.

The longest cable supported by the CS-DUO is 100 feet.

NOTE:

It is recommended that you connect the CS-DUO directly to the MIX-16/32 without any couplers, splitters, or hubs in between. Livemix may not function properly or at all with hubs and splitters.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

While Livemix Data is transmitted over standard network cables, it is not in the format that a network can read. For this reason, each CS-DUO needs to connect directly to the MIX-16/32. Do not use splitters, couplers, or hubs between the CS-DUO and the MIX-16/32.

DO NOT CONNECT THE CS-DUO INTO AN ETHERNET NETWORK. THIS COULD DAMAGE YOUR CS-DUO.

A Livemix system requires either an analog (AD-24) or digital input (option card), the MIX-16/32 central mixer, and at least one CS-DUO personal mixer. Below are some examples of what a basic system may look like.

ANALOG INPUT SYSTEM

1 x AD-24 Analog Input Rack Unit	1 x MIX-16 Central Mixer
1 x MIX-16 Central Mixer	1 x LM-DANTE-EXP Dante option card
4 x CS-DUO Dual Mix Personal Mixers	4 x CS-DUO Dual Mix Personal Mixers
4 x MT-1 Dual Position Mounts	4 x MT-1 Dual Position Mounts
1 x CBL-CAT6-100 Shielded CAT6 Cable 100' **	1 x CBL-CAT6-100 Shielded CAT6 Cable 100' **
4 x CBL-CAT6-50 Shielded CAT6 Cable 50'	4 x CBL-CAT6-50 Shielded CAT6 Cable 50'

DIGITAL INPUT SYSTEM
**Shielded cable between AD-24 and MIX-16/32 is required. CAT6 is not required, CAT5 is acceptable.

ANALOG OR DIGITAL?

Users taking their audio from an analog source will use the AD-24. Using the TRS or DB-25 inputs, audio from the source is made available to the Livemix system.

Users with taking their audio from a digital source will use the Option Card (LM-DANTE-EXP). This is an option card that is installed in the MIX-16/32 and allows the Livemix system to receive audio from a digital device or network.

CONTROL SURFACE

Livemix needs at least one connected personal mixer to make a mix. Each Livemix CS-DUO personal mixer connects via CAT5/CAT6 cable to one of the ports of the MIX-16/32. Using various controls on the unit, two users can each create their own custom mix, which is then output to headphones, in-ear monitors or stage monitors, right from the CS-DUO unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MY CS-DUO UNIT IS NOT POWERING ON.

Make sure that your CS-DUO unit is connected, with a standard network cable, to an output on your MIX-16/32 unit. The green light on the CS PORT will illuminate when power is connected and the yellow light will illuminate when there is a problem receiving information from the MIX-16/32.

Make sure that your MIX-16/32 is powered on.

I DO NOT HEAR ANY SOUND COMING OUT OF MY HEADPHONES OR STAGE MONITOR.

Check and make sure that the master volume knob for your mix is turned up. Also ensure that the volume levels on each channel are appropriate.

I DO NOT HEAR ANY SOUND FROM MY MEDIA PLAYER CONNECTED TO THE AUX INPUT.

From the Accessory Channels screen, make sure the volume for the Aux Input source is turned up.

I DO NOT HEAR ANY SOUND FROM A SPECIFIC CHANNEL IN MY MIX.

Make sure that the channel is not muted. If it is muted, you will see a red mute label next to the channel name on the overview screen.

Verify that the channel is connected properly to the AD-24 or configured properly if using the Dante Option Card.

I AM ADJUSTING THE PANNING BUT EVERYTHING STILL SOUNDS MONO.

Go to Mix Tools/Stereo Mix Settings/Master Output and make sure that your CS-DUO unit is set to Headphones Stereo and not Balanced Mono.

MY PERSONAL MIX SOUNDS DRY AND CLINICAL. I DON'T FEEL ANY CONNECTION WITH THE OTHER MUSICIANS OR THE AUDIENCE.

From the Accessory Channels screen, select the Ambient Mic channel and then ROTATE the ADJUST knob to add some ambient sound to your mix.

You might also try adding some reverb by pressing the Master Volume knob and selecting Master Reverb.

I CAN'T HEAR THE AMBIENT MIC OR INTERCOM.

Make sure the CS-DUO is not set to Balanced Mono mode. In Balanced Mono mode, the ambient mics and intercom are turned off to reduce feedback. It also keeps the intercom out of the floor wedges.

MY "B" SIDE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING.

The CS-DUO might be in the Linked Mode. PRESS and HOLD both Master Volume knobs to exit the Linked Mode.

THERE IS A CLICKING OR POPPING SOUND IN THE CS-DUO OUTPUTS.

Audible clicking and popping is usually an issue with the digital clock. If you are using Livemix with a Dante network, make sure that your console or Dante device is set to be the master and Livemix is set to slave. This can be done through the Dante controller on a Windows PC or Apple computer.

I DON'T HEAR ANY CHANNELS.

Make sure you have the correct input device selected. In the Global Setup menu, select "Input Select and Digital Configuration" then "Input Source Select" and verify that the correct input option is selected.

SOMETHING IS ODD WITH MY CHANNELS OR I CAN'T HEAR CHANNELS.

Please make sure there are no cable couplers, hubs, switches, or splitters between the CS-DUO and MIX-16/32.

Check the network cable connecting the CS-DUO to the MIX-16/32. If it was poorly constructed or there is a break in the cable, you may not be getting the proper data to the CS-DUO.
