10

The output levels of miXim 10 are controlled by the stereo Main
level pot.  When set to 9 o'clock, miXim 10 has unity gain.  This is
the best setting for going into a mixing board.  If you are going
into a power amplifier, this pot will act as a convenient volume
control.

Headphones

A headphone amplifier has been built into the miXim 10 to
provide easy monitoring and to allow you to use it quietly at
night (without waking your loved ones or the landlord!). The
headphone jack accurately reflects the signal coming from the
Master Outs. The headphone volume can be adjusted from the
Main level pot.

Applications and Hints

Gain Settings

The gain provided from turning up the Left and Right Level pots
can help drive a power amplifier or boost a signal from -10 to +4
dB signal levels.  For unity gain these pots should be set to about
9 o'clock.  

For greatest S/N ratio, Master Levels should be run as close to
clipping as possible.  When mixing a number of keyboards or
modules, the level of the instrument with the lowest output
should be set first by adjusting its gain to just below clipping.
Gain controls for the other channels can then be adjusted to
achieve the desired mix.

Don’t be afraid of the yellow Master Level LEDs (+8 dB). For the
best results, the yellow LEDs should be lit most of the time. 

Using the Send and Return for Effects

Channels 1 through 8 of the miXim 10 have a Send control. This
send can be used for several things, the most common of which is
to add effects such as reverb or delay to an instrument that has no
built-in effects.

The miXim 10 also has a stereo effects return. The stereo return
