5.1 Cabinet Simulator
The System Mix Plus Cabinet Simulator processes your line level signal to make it sound like it
was amplified through a speaker cabinet and miked. This allows you to connect your guitar
directly and still sound like a carefully miked, high quality cabinet.
For Recording:
Connect the System Mix Plus to your mixer or recorder for quick and easy direct recording.
For Live Performance:
Connect the System Mix Plus directly to the PA to avoid the hassle of miking, feedback or
isolation problems, or when low stage volume is required.
You can choose between two sounds:
• Open - The sparkly, punchy sound of an open back 2x12 combo speaker
• Closed - The deep, powerful sound of a closed back 4x12 cabinet
The output of Mix 2 is internally sent to the Cabinet Simulator. When the Cabinet Simulator
switch is out, the simulator is bypassed. When the switch is pushed in, the simulator is on. When
turned on, the Cabinet Simulator affects three different audio outputs:
• The two Direct Out unbalanced ¼ inch jacks on the rear panel
• The two BALANCED OUT jacks on the front panel
• The Headphone System
The rear panel Mix 2 Out jacks are not affected by the Cabinet Simulator. Use these to connect to
your power amp (or amp effects return).

IMPORTANT:
Do not connect speaker outputs of an amplifier to the System Mix Plus. Doing so may cause
serious damage to your mixer and your amplifier. The System Mix Plus inputs are intended for
line level signals only.
5.2 Headphone System
The Headphone System allows you to listen to the output of Mix 2 and any external signal
coming in the stereo MONITOR IN jack.
• Direct Knob: Controls the headphone volume of your guitar system. (If the Cabinet
Simulator switch is pushed in, the simulator will affect the guitar signal in the
headphones.)
• MONITOR Knob: Controls the volume of the incoming monitor signal.
• Ground Lift Button: Disconnects the sleeve of the MONITOR IN jack from ground
when pushed in. This solves ground hum problems in certain situations.
