INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTORS
The INPUT and OUTPUT connectors on the MPX 200 are
1/4 inch unbalanced sockets. If no cable is connected to
the LEFT INPUT, the RIGHT (MONO) INPUT feeds a
mono signal to both channels. The inputs are Hi-Z and
sensitive enough to accommodate an electric guitar
plugged directly into the MPX 200.
If no cable is connected to the RIGHT (MONO) OUTPUT,
the LEFT (PHONES) OUTPUT becomes a stereo Tip/Ring/
Sleeve output capable of driving a set of stereo
headphones.
It is always good practice to route audio cables away
from power cables.
SETTING AUDIO LEVELS
1. Start with the Input knob set to 9:00 o’clock.
2. Set the input control to a nominal level. Begin to play
or send audio to the MPX 200. The Level LEDs do not
light during the loudest passages.
3. While still sending audio to the MPX 200, gradually
turn up the Input control until the Clip LEDs show
red on only the loudest peaks.
4. Set the Mix parameter to Dry.
5. Adjust output to the desired level.
6. If the MPX 200 is using a console’s sends and
returns, set the Mix parameter to Wet and the
System Mode parameter Global Mix Mode to Global
(Glo, see page 3-4). If using an instrument amplifier,
start with Mix set halfway up.
