Features Contents Connect To Your Computer via a Single USB Cable (page 7) The MW10 mixer connects to your computer via the supplied USB cable.

Mixer Functions (page 15) With up to four mic/line inputs or up to four stereo inputs, the MW10 can simultaneously connect to a wide range of devices: microphones, line-level devices, stereo synthesizers, and more. For example, you can connect two microphones and four stereo devices, or four microphones and two stereo devices. 48V Phantom Power (page 16) A PHANTOM switch supplies +48V phantom power to the mixer's microphone inputs, so you can use high-quality phantom-powered condenser microphones for superior recording quality.
