Audio Configuration

The Numark Mixtrack Pro controller includes a built-in audio interface, allowing for both cue preview and performance output.  Follow these simple steps and be up and running in a matter of minutes.

Hardware Connections & Signal Flow

  1. Connect the Mixtrack Pro to an available USB port on your computer.  For best performance, avoid the use of a USB hub or splitter if at all possible.

  2. For the performance output, connect an RCA cable to OUTPUT 1 on the back of the Mixtrack Pro.  Connect the other end of this cable to an available input on a sound system of your choosing.

  7. Lastly, a dynamic microphone can be connected to the MIC THROUGH input on the front using a 1/4" cable.  The MIC GAIN knob allows you to control how much of the microphone signal is sent to OUTPUT 1.  Note that this will pass to the performance output only, and is not sent to the computer via USB.
