Creative Uses
There are many creative and practical applications in which the Mixing Link can excel. In addition to being a stellar microphone preamplifier, it can be used with a plethora of connections for DI, re-amping, headphone monitoring, signal level matching, or mixing and interfacing solutions.
Mixing Link allows easy connection of any microphone, instrument or line inputs to any/many destinations. For instance, you can connect balanced line level outputs to guitar amps and mics to balanced line level inputs simultaneously. You can also generate stereo to mono summing and a stereo send output simultaneously. Using the headphone amp output Mixing Link can also be used with your favorite stompbox as a practice amp or vocal monitor.
