Mixer Buddy Installation and Operation Manual
INSTALLATION
On-Air Light Relay
Mixer Buddy also provides a means of controlling “On the Air” studio warning
lights, switching the lights on whenever any microphone is in use. Low voltage (less
than 30 vdc @ 900ma) warning signs may be controlled directly from the Mixer
Buddy’s “On-Air Light Relay”.
CAUTION!
Do not connect directly to 115 volt AC circuits.
To switch 115 volt AC warning light circuits, we recommend the (not provided)
Mid-Atlantic, p/n: RLM-15-1C. The Mixer Buddy interfaces to the Mid-Atlantic
RLM-15-1C via the normally open and common terminals of the Mixer Buddy’s on-
air light relay. Run a wire between the Mixer Buddy’s N.O. (normally open) con-
tact terminal and one of the Mid-Atlantic RLM-15-1C control terminals. Connect a
second wire between the Mixer Buddy’s on-air light relay’s C (common) terminal
and the other control terminal on the RLM-15-1C. Set the activation switch on the
Mid-Atlantic RLM-15-1C to the normally open position.
NOTE: If you require the on-air warning light(s) to flash, we suggest using a
SSAC flasher (p/n: FS126RC) module (not provided) between the 120 volt output
of the Mid-Atlantic RLM-15-1C and on-air warning light.
Monitor Mute Programming
Mixer Buddy can be programmed to mute the monitor system when selected micro-
phones are in use. Select the microphones that will activate the monitor mute func-
tion using the “MONITOR MUTE SELECT” DIP switches on the rear of the unit.
There is a switch for each microphone channel. Example: If DIP switch ONE is in
the ON position (default), the monitor audio will mute when microphone channel
ONE is ON.
OPERATION
Plug the supplied external DC power supply in to the POWER jack on the rear of
the Mixer Buddy.
NOTE: The Mixer Buddy accepts DC voltages from 7.5 to 12 volts DC ONLY,
center positive.
The microphones are turned ON or OFF via the front panel pushbutton switches.
The LED below each button will illuminate indicating that the selected microphone
channel is ON. The monitor system will mute whenever the selected microphones
are ON. Tally lights will be active whenever any microphone channel is ON.
Two different monitor sources may be selected using the monitor select switch,
along with two led’s to display which source is being monitored. The monitor level
control may be used to adjust the monitor level. Note: The monitors and micro-
phone on/off functions will still operate even if the Mixer Buddy is not powered-up.
Power is required to activate the monitor mute and operate the on-air light relay, as
well as illuminate the front panel LED’s.
