Set Up and Operation

 

Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification

Functions

 

 

Microphone Channels 

 
 

1. Mic input 

Electronically balanced XLR-type input for connecting low impedance  
microphones. The input has extremely low noise hum. When connecting a  
microphone make sure that the pin assignment is correct. Always make sure to  
read the manual of  the microphone you want to connect. The XLR- input is not 
suitable for connecting an additional mixing console, FX- unit, etc. You have to  
use the line-inputs, when connecting this kind of equipment.  

 

Note: 

When connecting signal sources, please make sure that the corresponding  

Channel’s level control and the master faders are at their minimum settings.  
Otherwise, unpleasant plug-in noise can occur. 

 
2. Mic level control  

Use the control to adjust the level of microphone channel in the master mix.

 

 

3/4/5. Channel EQ Hi/Mid/Low controls 

Each channel is fitted with 3-band EQ. The 

Hi (3)

Mid

 

(4)

 and  

Bass

 

(5)

 bands  

have their center frequencies fixed at 5 Khz, 800 Hz and 70 Hz respectively. All  
three bands have up to 26dB cut and up to 12 dB boost and have a centre  
detent for “Off”. Turning the equalizer level control to the right amplifies the 
frequency range, turning to the left attenuates the signal. Minor changes to the

 

Fig. 8 

equalizer control usually produce the best results. Try to avoid excessive 
enhancement of the Mid band.  

 
6. Send level control

 

Allows you to adjust the level of the according channel in the send mix.  

 
7. Mic On/Off switch 

Allows you to switch both microphone channels on or off.  
 

8. Talkover switch 

If the talkover function is active, channels 1-3 are automatically attenuated by 12dB while speaking in the 
DJ-microphone.
