Ideally, you should read this entire manual
before using the MX200. But, if you just
can’t wait to get started, this section
explains how to set up a simple parallel
connection (using the MX200 with a mixer)
and select a program.
Powering the Unit
1. Plug the included power supply into an
A/C outlet.
2. Connect the Power Supply to the
Power
Jack
connection on the MX200’s back
panel.
3. When the MX200 first powers up, the
Audition
button quickly flashes for a
moment. This indicates that the software
is loading.
Standard Parallel Connection
1. Connect the mixer’s Post Fader Aux
Send output to the MX200’s
Left
(Mono)
input.
2. Connect the MX200
Left
and
Right
outputs to a stereo Aux Return input on
the mixer (or a stereo line input, or two
adjacent line inputs if you like).
Set Audio Levels
1. Set the gain on the mixer’s input
channel appropriate to the source (vocal
mic, guitar, keyboard, etc.).
2. Set the Aux Master level (if provided on
your console) to the 12 o’clock position.
3. Set the
Input
level on the MX200 to the
12 o’clock position.
4. Set the
Mix 1
and
Mix 2
knobs on the
MX200 to their full clockwise position.
(Wet).
5. Provide source signal (by speaking or
singing into the mic, playing guitar,
keyboard, etc.) on the selected mixer
channel.
6. Turn up the Aux Send level on the
channel corresponding to the Post-fader
send (Aux 1 in this example) that the
MX200 is connected to until the Red
Input LEDs light only occasionally. If the
red Input LEDs stay lit, too much signal
is being sent to the MX200; reduce the
Aux Master or Aux Send on the mixer.
7. Turn up the Aux Return to the 12 o’clock
position, or stereo line input faders to
the 0dB position, if you used that
connection.
8. To increase or decrease the amount of
effect on the signal, adjust the Aux Send
level on the channel that you want
affected.
Select and Load a Program
Turn the
Program Select
knob to choose
a program. The display flashes the number
of the program to be loaded. Press the
knob to load the program.
Note that the MX200 comes with 99
Factory programs and 99 User programs.
A small dot appears at the bottom right of
the
Program Display
window, indicating
that the displayed program is a User pro-
gram. For more information about editing
programs, see page 10.
