Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the 1/4" input stereo or mono, and can it take a line feed from a mixer (as opposed to mic feed)?

A: I feed the mic input on this unit from the aux send line output (pre-fader) on my Mackie mixer with no issues. Just make sure you turn the aux master control way down to avoid signal clipping.

Q: 2. Can I create my own preset and store it in this interface and use it without running the app on my iOS or macOS?

A: There are 5 Presets which are built in to the Motiv MVi, no need for the App. Five built-in DSP preset modes (Speech, Singing, Flat, Acoustic Instrument, and Loud) While in a PreSet, it is possible to tweak it to your liking, HOWEVER, when you exit the Preset, that PreSet reverts back to the "Factory" preset parameters You may also "tweak" settings on the Compression or EQ as needed. On your phone, the App may be used to store your own PreSets (100+) and name them and also control the Motiv MVi. In this scenario, you would need to run the App to recall your PreSets...
