Can I use the Mixer part of the SwitchMix on its own, or do I have to use the Headphone stand?
The Mixer will work independent of the Headphone stand if you are only looking to use either Headphones or Speakers and control them through the SwitchMix.
If the Headphone stand is not connected, the Mixer will prioritize the Headphone output over the Speakers but will automatically switch if the headphones are unplugged or plugged in to the front of the Mixer.
You can also manually switch between Headset and Speaker output by pressing and holding the Volume knob on the Mixer.

The SwitchMix is validated for headphones at 32 ohms, higher impedance headphones may result in quieter audio.
