Stereo Mixer  (320-1101A)            Operation         Faxback Doc. # 16087

MICROPHONES

1.  Connect microphones to the MIC jacks on the back of the mixer.

    NOTE:  If you want to have stereo sound, use two microphones;  connect
           one to each channel's input jack.  If you are using a single
           microphone, connect it to the LEFT mic jack.  A single mic
           connected to the LEFT jack provides output to both channels.

2.  Set MICROPHONE switches to IN.

3.  To adjust the level of mic signals, adjust the MICROPHONES fader
    controls up to down.

    NOTE:  Mic signal levels are indicated on the meters.  To listen to the
           output signal, plug headphones into the jack in the lower right
           front corner or the mixer.

PHONO 1 AND PHONO 2 INPUTS

There are two stereo phono inputs, and each input can be used for either a
ceramic or a magnetic phono (turntable or changer).

1.  Connect phono leads to PHONO 1 and PHONO 2 on the back of the mixer.
    If the phono has a ceramic cartridge, use the CER input.  If the phono
    has a magnetic cartridge (as most systems do), connect it to the MAG
    input.  If the phono has a black or green ground lead, connect it under
    the GROUND screw on the back of the mixer to prevent hum.

2.  To apply phono signals to the output, set the PHONO 1 or PHONO 2
    switches to IN.

3.  To monitor phono signals, plug headphones into the jack in the lower
    right front corner of the mixer.

4.  To cue the phono sound, set the PHONO 1 or PHONO 2 switch to CUE.

NOTES:  If you use stereo headphones, you hear the CUE signal in the left
        earphone and the main output signal in the right earphone.

        If you use mono headphones, you hear the CUE signal along with the
        normal output signal.  The CUE signal is slightly louder.

        When in CUE mode, the slide controls have no effect on the level of
        CUE sound.

TAPE INPUTS

1.  Use shielded cables to connect the Line Out jacks on your tape deck to
    the TAPE IN jacks on the back of the mixer.

2.  To apply tape signals to the output, set the TAPE switch to IN and
    adjust the TAPE fader control for proper level.

    NOTE:  To record signals being processed through the mixer, connect the
           TAPE OUT jacks to the Line In or Aux In jacks on a separate
           recorder.

3.  To monitor the tape signal, plug headphones into the jack in the lower
    right front corner of the mixer.

4.  To cue the tape sound, set the TAPE switch to CUE.  You hear the tape
    signal in the left headphone.

MODE SWITCH

If you have a stereo source connected but only need monaural output, set
the MODE switch to MONO.  For stereo output, set the MODE switch to STEREO.

PROFESSIONAL SOUND MIXING

You can cue, mix, and fade using any of the source inputs:

    Microphones - fade from one to the other, or adjust for level
                  differences between mic inputs.  (Cueing is not possible
                  on the two mic inputs.)

          Phono - cue and fade between two turntables and other sources.

           Tape

    Any combination of these inputs.

For example, if you have a tape playing and want to fade in a selection
from a record.

1.  Plug in your headphones.

2.  Set the in-use PHONO switch to CUE.

3.  Set the needle in the record's groove and listen to CUE sound in the
    headphones.

4.  Slow down the record with your hand to bring the beat of the record in
    sync with the beat of the tape signal.

5.  Set the PHONO switch to IN and bring up the PHONO slide control to the
    desired level.

6.  Fade out the tape sound by bringing the TAPE slide control down to 0,
    or turn it off by setting the TAPE switch to CUE.

BLENDING VOICE AND MUSIC

1.  To blend voice and music, start with a microphone level which gives a
    meter reading between -5 and -3 VU.

2.  Reduce the fader for the music source as you begin to speak.  Return
    the fader for the music source as you begin to speak.  Return it to its
    original setting during natural pauses and when you have finished
    speaking.

NOTES:  Reduce the music level just enough for you to hear yourself over
        the music in the headphones or loudspeakers.

        Set the MICROPHONE switch to OUT when no in use.
