The 24V phantom power supply of your AER device
complies with the DIN EN 61398 regulations in view
of a 24V phantom power supply.
Please note the adjacent text.
General Note:
Use of 48 V or 24 V phantom power
(Phantom power = remote supply, here: pow-
ering an audio device via the connected audio
line)
Turn on the phantom power only if the unit
connected to an XLR socket that is designed to
handle it!
In general, suitable units are e.g. condenser
microphones, active DI-boxes and other special
audio devices, whose power supply is drawn
from the phantom power. Such devices are also
labelled accordingly; please heed the permissib-
le power consumption (max.10mA).
High-quality dynamic microphones with a ba-
lanced signal need no phantom power, but can
handle it anyway.
Other devices, which have not been designed
explicitly for phantom power operation, can suf-
fer from considerable malfunctions and damage
may result as well.
Examples of devices that may be damaged
by incorrect application of phantom power
include:
Low-cost dynamic microphones with a mono
jackplug (unbalanced signal) that were fitted
afterwards with an XLR connector.
Audio devices with a balanced XLR output (e.g.
DI-boxes, effects devices, instrument preamps
with a DI output etc.) which are not protected
against phantom power applied to their XLR
output. (The DI connectors on AER products are
protected against applied phantom power.)
Other audio devices (such as preamps, effects
pedals etc.) whose unbalanced line output was
replaced by an XLR socket.
If in doubt please consult the manufacturer of
the device you are using.
5.1.2 Dual-band Equalization
The dual-band equalizer of your
dual mix
provides
you with an active and high quality sound interac-
tion tool that supports the natural tone of instru-
ments and voice whilst simultaneously offering you
the possibility of a controlled interaction.
With all controls in mid position the filters are set to
produce a very pleasing and natural sound impres-
sion. The
high-
(treble) and
low-
(bass)controls allow
you to modulate the sound as desired.
5.2 efx-Effects Section Multieffect
The dual mix 2 has an onboard digital effects unit
with four presets: 1 = short reverb, 2 = long reverb,
3 = delay 320 ms and 4 = deep chorus, which are
called up with the select effects selector switch.
Each pressing of this switch will shift the preset
selection by one setting.
With the pan control the effect is assigned to the
channels. In its centre position both channels will
receive the same amount of wet signal, turned
fully counterclockwise only channel 1, turned fully
clockwise only channel 2 will get a wet signal. The
level control adjusts the effects loudness in the
master signal.
5.3 aux-in
The aux-in is a stereo signal input (3.5 mm stereo
jack, frontside) e.g. for a CD- oder MP3-player or a
drum computer. Using the level control, the signal
which is present here is blended with the master
signal.
5.4 master
The volume control adjusts the loudness of line-out
and headphones together.
5.5 DI-out
The DI-out yields a balanced output signal whose
level can be adjusted by the level-control.
5.6 24V Phantom power
The 24V phantom power switches are located
on the rear side of the housing. These provide
phantom power to the XLR inputs for devices that
require it, e.g. condenser mics.
Experiment and enjoy your new route to alternate sound-
scapes.
