Pyle Pro Mixer Owner’s Manual – 11

Adding Equalization to the Mix

You can further tailor the sound processed through the mixer to match your acoustic surroundings

or suit your personal preferences by using the ten frequency sliders for each channel. To engage the

equalization module, press the Equalization On/Off Switch. The LED next to the switch will be

illuminated, indicated the EQ mode has been engaged.

Each one of the sliding controls boosts or cuts the selected frequency by up to 10 dB. If you leave

a slider at the center (”0”) position, the corresponding frequency range for that stereo channel will

be left unaffected (”flat”). Please note that in order to provide a smooth range of control, the frequency

ranges overlap slightly. Therefore, for example, if you raise the level in the 2K range, the 1K and

4K ranges are also slightly affected.

Adding External Effects to the Mix

To connect a sound effect device such as an echo reverb or digital sampler processor, first connect

the EFFECTS SEND jacks to the external device’s AUDIO IN jacks using RCA type cables. Then connect

the device’s audio outputs to the EFFECTS RECEIVE jacks on the mixer.

To activate the loop with which now has an outboard processor, press the Effects Switch.The effect

devices are now in the audio chain. Be sure the device is ON.

Using the Microphone

Incorporating Voice into the Mix

Talkover mode allows a voice to be heard clearly through the microphone by attenuating all the other

audio input sources. This mode is engaged by setting the Talkover Switch to the TALKOVER position.

Talkover Mode

To blend voice from the microphones with the audio program material, first be sure the MIC/TALKOVER

switch is set to the ON position. (In this position, the MIC channel is mixed into the program like

any other audio input source.)

Then adjust the corresponding MIC level controls to increase or decrease the microphone level (this

will not affect the main volume inputs). When a microphone is not in use, set the MIC/TALKOVER

switch to OFF.

These BASS, MID and TREBLE controls, permit you to tailor the tone frequencies of the MIC inputs

processed through the mix. Left in their center positions, the sound is unaffected (”flat”).

Microphone Tone Controls

The independent MIC1 and MIC2 controls permit you to increase or decrease the levels of these

microphones within the mix.

Microphone Level Controls

Using the MIC Frequency Kill Switches

For unique circumstances or interesting special effects, you can completely eliminate the bass, mid

or treble frequency range from the MIC channels by pressing the Kill button for that range. When

the Kill mode is active, the LED above the button will be illuminated.
