AM440D USB-K

English

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing one of Phonic’s many quality compact

mixers. The AM440D USB-K compact mixers – designed by

the ingenious engineers that have created a variety of mixers

fantastic in style and performance in the past – display similar

proficiency that previous Phonic products have shown; with

more than a few refinements, of course. The AM series features

full gain ranges, amazingly low distortion levels, and incredibly

wide dynamic ranges, just showing the dominance these small

machines will have in the mixing World.

The AM440D USB-K mixers are an original Phonic concept,

incorporating wireless Bluetooth technology directly into our

popular AM analog mixers. Using a 2.4 GHz wireless signal, up

to two of the Phonic wireless microphones can be connected to

the mixer and routed to channels 3 and 4. The mixer also offers a

USB-B connector for connecting to any modern Windows PC or

Mac computer. This will allow the main stereo mix to be recorded

directly to the computer. A stereo return signal can also be routed

back through the 2T / USB Return.

We know how eager you are to get started – wanting to get the

mixer out and hook it all up is probably your number one priority

right now – but before you do, we strongly urge you to take a

look through this manual. Inside, you will find important facts and

figures on the set up, use and applications of your brand new

mixer. If you do happen to be one of the many people who flatly

refuse to read user manuals, then we just urge you to at least

glance at the Basic Setup section. After glancing at or reading

through the manual (we applaud you if you do read the entire

manual), please store it in a place that is easy for you to find,

because chances are there’s something you missed the first time

around.
