**Overview**
Configure Mixxx' Main output for channels 1-2 and Headphones output for Channels 3-4.

| The pads are for controlling cue’s, loops, and The Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX is a 2 channel (with 4 channel layering) entry level DJ controller with an integrated audio interface. The stand out feature of the Mixtrack Platinum FX is the LCD displays integrated into the jog wheels. It is a USB Audio and MIDI Class compliant device and works with Linux, macOS, and Windows.

| **Audio Interface**
|
| Configure Mixxxs’ Master output for channels 1-2 and Headphones output for Channels 3-4.
|
| The microphone input on this controller is not available to the computer through the controller’s audio interface. It is mixed with the master output in hardware, so this controller’s audio interface is not suitable for broadcasting or recording the inputs. If you want to use the controller for broadcasting or recording, a separate audio interface with a microphone input is suggested.
