Dub Mixer Output Modes – Complete Guide and Explanation

The Dub Mixer offers a wide range of 9 configurable output modes, designed to adapt to all types of audio systems. Whether you are performing live, in a sound system session, or working in a studio, each mode is built to deliver precise signal routing tailored to your needs: stereo, mono, multi-way, sub, duplication, and more.

This article provides a clear and detailed explanation of each mode, including connection layouts and recommended use cases.

First, begin by configuring the product in the mode you want by using the Configurator.

How it works

Each Master output (Master 1 and Master2) has Two Connections. T (tip) and R (ring). Thus we can use these 4 connections to make various modes, in the following article, there will be a detail of wich connections are used in each mode.

Mode 1 – Balanced Stereo Output (TRS L/R)

Connections:
M1T = Out L+ / M1R = Out L-
M2T = Out R+ / M2R = Out R-

This mode provides a balanced stereo output through two TRS or XLR lines. It is particularly suited for professional applications in studios or live setups, where clean and noise-free signal transmission is essential. Thanks to the balanced signal, interference is minimized even over long cable runs.

Mode 2 – Stereo Output with Dedicated Sub Channel

Connections:
M1T = Out L / M1R = Out R
M2T = Sub+ / M2R = Sub-

This mode combines a standard stereo output for mid and high frequencies, with a dedicated mono sub output in balanced format. It is ideal for 2.1 systems, allowing precise control over the low end. Perfect for live events or club environments where tight bass management is critical.

Mode 3 – Duplicated Stereo Output

Connections:
M1T = Out L / M1R = Out R
M2T = Out L / M2R = Out R

This mode duplicates the stereo output across two output pairs, making it easy to send the same mix to two different destinations—such as a main system and a recorder, or stage PA and control room.

It eliminates the need for a splitter and ensures consistent signal quality across multiple outputs.

Mode 4 – 2-Way Stereo Output (Highs / Lows)

Connections:
M1T = Highs L / M1R = Highs R
M2T = Low L / M2R = Low R

This mode offers a 2-band frequency split in stereo, separating highs and lows while preserving left/right spatialization. It’s especially useful for bi-amped stereo systems, or installations that need separate processing for low and high frequencies via external amps or crossovers.

Mode 5 – 3-Way Semi-Stereo Output

Connections:
M1T = Highs L / M1R = Highs R
M2T = Bass / M2R = Sub

This hybrid mode delivers stereo highs for a wide spatial image, while the bass and sub remain in separate mono channels. Ideal for dub or sound system use, it allows you to maintain immersive highs while concentrating bass energy in the center. A perfect blend of clarity and power.

Mode 6 – 3-Way Mono Output

Connections:
M1T = Highs / M1R = —
M2T = Bass / M2R = Sub

This mode splits the signal into three mono frequency bands: highs, bass, and sub. Designed for fully mono systems like classic dub sound systems, it focuses on power and frequency control rather than stereo image. This mode offers precise routing for each band into dedicated amplifiers.

Mode 7 – 4-Way Mono Output

Connections:
M1T = Highs / M1R = Mid
M2T = Bass / M2R = Sub

This is the most advanced output mode, offering four mono frequency bands: highs, mids, bass, and sub. It is perfect for full-range 4-way sound systems where each frequency range is processed and amplified independently. This mode enables maximum tonal control in high-end setups.

Mode 8 – Dual Balanced Mono Output

Connections:
M1T = Master+ / M1R = Master-
M2T = Master+ / M2R = Master-

This mode sends the same balanced mono signal through two output lines. It is ideal when you need to duplicate the main output to feed multiple devices—such as an amplifier and a recorder, or two amplifiers in parallel—while maintaining professional audio integrity.

Mode 9 – 2-Way Mono Output (Highs / Lows)

Connections:
M1T = Highs+ / M1R = Highs-
M2T = Low+ / M2R = Low-

This final mode offers a 2-way mono frequency split, sending highs and lows as balanced signals. It’s a great choice for smaller mono setups where simple but effective top/sub separation is sufficient. It balances efficiency, clarity, and ease of integration.

Recap of all the Output Modes

Conclusion

The Dub Mixer’s output modes allow you to configure the unit for any kind of audio environment, from roots sound systems to modern stereo setups, studio workflows, or high-end multi-amp systems. Each mode is engineered to provide maximum routing flexibility and optimal sound performance in every context.
