What does the Mix-It do?
The problem:
Many motorcycle riders would like to listen to music from their MP3 players, CD player, AM/FM radio, etc. while still being able to hear a radar detector alert, GPS direction commands (for those units with a speech option), or CB radio traffic. Until now, the only solution has been to listen to one device or the other (for instance, listening to music and counting on visual alerts from the radar detector which is not easily seen during daytime riding), or buying a cheap 'Y' cord from an electronics store to connect the two devices together. The problem with the 'Y' cord solution is that some devices are not compatible with each other, and you can damage one by connecting another to it with this type of cord. When you have a $400 radar detector, you do not want to take this risk! Also, many audio devices are not loud enough for comfortable listening while riding.

The solution:
Mix-It! Of course! The Mix-It allows the user to plug in up to 4 stereo devices at the same time. It is compatible with many devices: MP3 players, CD players, cassette players, AM/FM radios, essentially ANY device with a headphone output! It also has a 6.3x gain amplifier, which itself is of great benefit to the user.

How it works:
The typical setup is a music player and radar detector. Set the volume control on the Mix-It between 1/4 to 1/2 way. Plug in and turn on your music player and set it to a comfortable volume level using it's volume control. Then turn on the radar detector and set it's volume to a level so you can hear it distinctly over the music. Since the radar detector only generates a tone when there is an alert, you will mostly just be hearing your music. This sets the "balance" of the device volume levels. The volume control on the Mix-It then adjusts both devices output level at the same time with one convenient control. Why have four inputs if you cannot listen to them all at the same time? Users who have tested the unit have found they would like to connect multiple audio sources at the same time, with only one or two active simultaneously. This way, when they want to listen to a AM/FM radio instead of their CD player, all they need to do is turn one device off, and the other on without having to mess with wires and volume levels - set them and forget them!

Note: The Mix-It does not provide a microphone interface or communications capability and will not work for conducting conversations on a cell phone or CB radio without additional hardware and/or cables.
