MU 1722X / MU 1822X
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of Phonic’s many quality compact
mixers. The MU1722X and MU1822X 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. Featuring full gain ranges, amazingly
low distortion levels, and incredibly wide dynamic ranges, these
amazing mixers are bound to make a big impression in any
venue.
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 Instant 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.
INSTANT SETUP
Getting Started
1.
Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To totally ensure
this, the AC cable should not be connected to the unit.
2.
All faders and level controls should be set at the lowest
level and all channels switched off to ensure no sound is
inadvertently sent through the outputs when the device is
switched on. All levels can be altered to acceptable degrees
after the device is turned on.
3.
Plug all necessary instruments and equipment into the
device’s various inputs as required. This may include line
signal devices, such as bass and drum machines, as well
as microphones and/or guitars, keyboards, etc.
4.
Plug any necessary equipment into the device’s various
outputs. This could include amplifiers and speakers, monitors,
signal processors, and/or recording devices.
5.
Plug the supplied AC cable into the AC inlet on the back of
the device and a power outlet of a suitable voltage.
6.
Turn the power switch on.
Channel Setup
1.
To ensure the correct audio level of the input channel is
selected, each of the Mixer’s Channel’s ON buttons should
be disengaged (which should turn the corresponding LED
indicator off – otherwise go back and try again), as well as
the SOLO buttons on each channel.
2.
Ensure the channel you wish to set has a signal sent to it
similar to the signal that will be sent when in common use.
For example, if the channel has a microphone connected
to it, then you should speak or sing at the same level the
performer normally would during a performance; if a guitar
is plugged into the channel, then the guitar should also be
strummed as it normally would be (and so on). This ensures
levels are completely accurate and avoids having to reset
them later.
3.
Move the Channel’s fader to around the 0 dB mark.
4.
Pushing the channel’s SOLO button will send the audio signal
to the Control Room / Phones mixing bus and the Level Meter
will display the Control Room’s signal properties (since the
Main L/R mixing bus will receive no signal).
5.
Set the gain so the level meter indicates the audio level is
around 0 dB.
6.
This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop making
the audio signal.
7.
You can now repeat the same process for other channels if
you wish.
