3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the mixer from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components, including the mixer and USB power cable, are present.
3.2 Power Connection
The Moukey MAMX2 requires a DC 5V power supply. Connect the provided USB power cable to the DC 5V input port on the mixer.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a compatible power source such as a USB wall adapter (recommended), a power strip with a USB port, or a power bank.
- IMPORTANT: Use an external power supply with CE or UL certification. Avoid connecting directly to a computer's USB port for power, as this may introduce noise or undesirable interference.

The mixer can be powered via a power supply, power strip, or power bank using the DC 5V USB input.
3.3 Audio Connections
Connect your audio sources (guitars, keyboards, etc.) to the INPUT 1-6 jacks using 1/4-inch TS (mono) or TRS (stereo) cables as required.
- For stereo signals, use 1/4-inch TRS cables for both input and output. Press the corresponding channel's "Stereo" toggle key.
- For mono signals, use 1/4-inch TS cables for input and output. Ensure the corresponding channel's "Mono" toggle key is selected.
- Connect the OUTPUT jack to your amplifier, monitoring system, or recording device using an appropriate 1/4-inch cable.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Power On/Off
Once the DC 5V power is connected, the mixer will automatically power on. There is no dedicated power switch. The "Pow" indicator light will illuminate.
4.2 Adjusting Input Levels
Each input channel (INPUT 1-6) has an independent "LEVEL" control knob. Rotate these knobs clockwise to increase the volume of the respective input source and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
4.3 Stereo/Mono Switching
Above each input's level knob, there is a toggle switch labeled "Mono Stereo".
- Push the switch to the "Stereo" position when using 1/4-inch TRS cables for stereo input.
- Push the switch to the "Mono" position when using 1/4-inch TS cables for mono input. This will mix the mono signal to both left and right channels of the output.
4.4 Adjusting Master Output Level
The "OUTPUT" knob controls the overall volume of the mixed signal. Adjust this knob to set the desired output level for your amplifier or recording device.
Tip for Optimal Sound: To minimize noise, it is generally recommended to turn up the individual input level controls as high as possible without clipping, and then use the master output volume control to reduce the overall output to a reasonable listening level.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the mixer. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mixer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Handle the mixer with care. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.
