Frequently Asked Questions - PMUX42 Pyle

What is the Pyle PMUX42 used for?

The Pyle PMUX42 is a 2-in 2-out USB audio interface designed for recording, songwriting, streaming, and podcasting.

How do I power the PMUX42?

The device can be powered via the USB Type-C port (DC 5V 1000mA) or via the USB Type-B port when connected to a computer. A mobile phone with OTG requires an auxiliary power supply.

What types of microphones can I use with channel 1?

Channel 1 accepts both dynamic and condenser microphones via an XLR connector. For condenser microphones, you must turn on the +48V phantom power switch.

Can I connect a guitar directly?

Yes, channel 2 has a 1/4-inch TS jack for instruments. For passive electric guitars or basses, press the Hi-Z switch to match the impedance.

What is the maximum audio quality?

The PMUX42 supports up to 24-bit / 192 kHz audio resolution for high-fidelity recordings.

How do I monitor audio?

Use the PHONES jack (1/4-inch) for headphones, and adjust volume with the PHONES LEVEL knob. The MONITOR OUTPUT SELECTOR switch lets you choose between Mix, Sub (USB only), or CH1-2 only monitoring.

What is the CH1 PAD switch for?

The PAD switch attenuates the input signal to prevent distortion when the input is too loud. Turn it on if the PEAK LED lights frequently even with the GAIN knob turned down.

How do I record to a computer?

Connect the device to your computer via the USB Type-B port. The interface will record the external CH1 and CH2 signals to your DAW (software). Internal USB-to-USB recording is not supported.

Can I use this with a smartphone?

Yes, but you must connect via the USB Type-C port and enable OTG function on your phone. Settings vary by brand. Use an auxiliary power supply to avoid battery drain.

What accessories are included?

The package includes the USB interface, a USB cable, and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable. Additional cables for specific connections may be needed.

Product Function Guidelines

NOTE: Put the DC +48V phantom power supply in the OFF state before turning ON.

1. USB Jack (type C): Power supply input interface, USB power is DC5V 1000mA
2. USB jack (type B 2.0): For connecting to a computer using the included USB 2.0 cable. When connected to a computer, the computer supplies power to the [PLAY 12] and audio data can be sent between the [PLAY 12] and computer.

NOTE: Please do not connect any device to this USB jack other than a personal computer or tablet devices.

• When using power with USB,USB power is DC5V 1000mA.
• Can connect to the mobile phone, when connected to the mobile phone, need to set accordingly, please open the OTG function of the mobile phone, note: Different brand mobile phone settings are different, please refer to the corresponding brand set instructions; use the mobile phone directly, please type C interface auxiliary power supply to [PLAY 12], so as not to affect the normal use.

1. PHONES jack (1/4-inch jack): for connection of stereo headphones (minimum impedance 32Ω) for monitoring the sum signal independent of the PHONES control.
2. HPONE jack (1/8-inch TRRS): When the headset output interface of the phone passes through the TRRS Jack, the sound of the phone will be output internally, and the sound of the [PLAY 12] external microphone (CH1) is transmitted to the phone through this TRRS jack.

***With the TRRS interface function, the signal of this interface cannot be recorded.
