Setting up Phase with an integrated DVS mixer

A DVS integrated mixer has a built-in soundcard. Most popular DVS integrated mixers include Pioneer DJM S11, S9, S7, Reloop Elite, Rane 72, Rane 70, Numark Scratch, and more...

• Plug the Phase Receiver to a power source (either a computer or a power outlet with a 5V/500mA USB adaptor) using the MWM USB cable.
• Set your mixer's source selector on the USB channel you’re using.
  
  ▶︎  Please note that this step doesn't apply when using Phase in HID mode with Serato DJ Pro. 
  
• Connect the audio outputs of the Receiver to the "Line" inputs of your mixer using the MWM RCA cables.
• In the audio settings of your DJ software, make sure that the inputs connected to your Phase are properly set on Line inputs to match the hardware connections, and that your mixer is selected as the main audio interface.
• Make sure you selected the DVS signal corresponding to your DJ software, in the Phase Manager "Setup" tab.
• Place the Remotes on your turntables. Allow the Remotes to calibrate, then spin the turntables. You should now hear your tracks playing. 

Additional setup tip 

Make sure the Receiver is positioned as close as possible to the Remotes, and that no object placed in between could disrupt the radio transmission.
