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 A
level on the MX500 to the 12 o’clock position.
4. Provide source signal (by speaking or singing into the mic, playing guitar,
keyboard, etc.) on the selected mixer channel.
5. Turn up the Aux Send levels on the channel corresponding to the Post-fader send
(Aux 1 and Aux 2 in this example) that the MX500 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 MX500; reduce the Aux Master or Aux Send on the mixer.
6. Turn up the Aux Return 1 and 2 to the 12 o’clock position, or stereo line input
faders to the 0dB position, if you used that connection.
7. To increase or decrease the amount of effect on the signal, adjust the Aux Send
level on the channel that you want affected.
