In every venue that plays live sound, a mixer is present. It is the brain of the sound reinforcement system and choosing one can be confusing. We wrote this guide to help you to understand the differences between analog and digital mixers. Digital mixers are now more affordable than ever so if you'd like to understand more of what they can do, please read this guide.

This is the easiest way to perform with one guitar and two amps, or two guitars and one amp. We're also a huge fan of the MixingLink so be sure to check this as option that provides the above features along with a whole lot more. Guitars output a high impedance, unbalanced signal. Microphone inputs on mixers are low impedance and balanced. The direct box matches impedance while balancing the audio. Balanced audio allows you to run cable for long distances without unwanted noise. Guitars with passive pickups (the majority of electric guitars do not have active pickups) require an active direct box to properly preserve all the harmonics of the guitar's tone. This video will show you how to remove hum from your audio lines using the Whirlwind ISOXL Line Isolation transformer. This is a handy adapter that every musician should have in their tool box. The Whirlwind Direct 2 is a dual channel direct box great for stereo, line-level instruments into a mixing console. This box is perfect for keyboards, DJ mixers, audio interfaces, and drum machines. It can also function as two discreet mono DIs which can be used for an acoustic-electric guitar and bass with active pickups, at the same time. The Whirlwind Director is a premium quality direct box built for solid operation with low noise. This is a great choice for acoustic electric guitars or basses with active pickups. Covert your hi-Z, unbalanced signal to low impedance, balanced so that you can run long cables and connect your instruments properly to a mixing console. The Whirlwind IsoPod & PodDI allow you to plug consumer audio gear into one channel of a mixer. They sum the unbalanced audio from stereo to mono, and send out a balanced signal via XLR. If you want to keep your signal in stereo, be sure to check out the Whirlwind PCDI & PSUSB video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJMMudeVwtg This video will show you how to properly hook unbalanced stereo signals into a mixing console. The PCUSB is a simple Digital Audio Converter for plugging a computer directly into a mixer. Shoutout to Primo Sol for supplying the backing track! The Whirlwind Little IMP is an inline impedance matching transformer used for plugging low impedance microphones with an XLR cable into high impedance 1/4" mic jacks. It can even be used to plug a microphone into a guitar amplifier, although this is not recommended if you're looking for quality sound. All vocalists and emcees should own a microphone. This tutorial will teach you why you need your own mic, and how to ensure you buy the best one for your voice. Please subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/trainingsnacks |
