4-Channel Stereo Microphone Mixer (320-1106) Operation Faxback Doc. # 18282 After you make all the necessary connections, follow these steps to operate your mixer. 1. Set POWER ON/OFF to ON to turn on the mixer. NOTE: To avoid a possible popping sound, always turn on the mixer before you turn on the amplifier. 2. Turn on the output amplifier and leave its volume set to minimum. 3. Set the selected audio input source's volume to its minimum setting, turn it on, and set it to play (or continuously talk into the microphone). 4. Set the corresponding CHANNEL 1, CHANNEL 2, CHANNEL 3, or CHANNEL 4 volume level to about 6-10. NOTES: When mixing more than one audio input source, set all the volume level controls of the audio input sources to the same setting. Adjust the mixer's fader controls to get the best mix. If the overall sound level is too low with the fader controls at 10, increase the output amplifier's volume. 5. Adjust the output amplifier's volume level control to the desired volume. 6. When you are finished mixing, set POWER ON/OFF to OFF and turn off the output amplifier and all the audio input sources. MIXING MONO OR STEREO When you set the mixer's MODE STEREO/MONO switch to MONO. The mixer routes the input signal of any monaural source connected to only one of the mixer's line inputs (LEFT or RIGHT ) to both output channels. The mixer changes the stereo input signals connected to the mixer's line inputs (LEFT and RIGHT) to monaural. To mix mono signals with stereo signals, set STEREO/MONO to STEREO. NOTE: For mono amplifiers (found in some PA systems), it is best to set MODE STEREO/MONO to MONO. VOICE-OVERS You can mix an audio input source containing pre-recorded music or special sounds while you talk into a microphone. This lets you mix your voice with music. 1. Set the mixer's fader controls for the music source you want to mix to the desired volume level (before you begin talking). 2. While the music plays, talk into the microphone and adjust the fader controls for the microphone and music source so you can hear yourself over the music. 3. During pauses in speech, return the music source's fader controls to their original positions. 4. When you finish speaking, set the microphone's fader control to 0 and the music source's fader controls to their original positions. (CS 11/9/95)
