Monitor Mix Matrix
Any input may be routed to either or both of the monitor
outputs. This is done by clicking on the monitor number
buttons associated with each input, using the Antex
Mixer Program. Each input has a button for monitor 1
and monitor 2. Click on the button with the mouse to
toggle it on or off; blue means on, gray means off.
Phantom Power
Phantom power is required for condenser microphones.
It is not required for dynamic microphones and should
be turned off when using dynamic microphones,
although it will usually not harm them. Phantom power
must be turned off when using line level devices and can
cause damage. For this reason, the Antex Mixer
Program will automatically switch off Phantom Power
when “Line” is selected. Click on the “Phantom Power”
button with the mouse to toggle it on or off; blue means
on, gray means off.
Line and Microphone
The “Line” and “Microphone” buttons select the type of
input you are connecting to the DMX-4. The difference
is the signal level and the amount of gain required.
Microphones have a low signal level and require higher
gain. When “Microphone” is selected, the gain can be
adjusted from +10dB to +85dB with the slider control.
(See the section “Adjusting the Recording Level”.) The
slider control will affect the level of the audio in the
recording and in the monitor output, if the particular
input is routed to that monitor. Note however, that the
monitor output level will stop increasing once the slider
is up past +65dB. This is because the gain above 65dB
