E. MAIN SYSTEM OPERATION
you are nearly ready to switch on the power to your
Stereo MetroMix powered mixer and other
unitsconnected to it. There are only a few more
things to take care of before doing so.
1. Set the EQ / Power Amp Routing Switch
This setting is dependent on the type of system
operation you have selected. Find your system below
for the proper EQ / Power Amplifier royting switch
srtting.
SYSTEM 1.
Switch in the Left / Right (in) position.
SYSTEM 2.
Switch in the Left / Right (in) powition.
SYSTEM 3.
Switch in the MAIN / MONITOR (out) position.
2. Set Phantom Power Switch
A 15 volt DC phantom power supply is proviced for
electret condenser microphones that may require such
power. Place the phantom power switch in the ON
(in) position only if a microphone connected to the
mixer repuires it.
Note:
Phantom p0ower applied to the output of a keyboard,
effcets device or similar sound module could possibly
damage that device's circuits. It may be harmful to
connect anything except a micro0phone into any XLR
input on the mixer when using phantom power. Be
sure the phantom power is switched off (out [position)
befor makin any connections. The status of this
switch should only be changed when the unit is
switched off.
3. Switch Power On
Re-check all connections one more time before
proceeding. Set all level controls on your powered
mixer any external units you have connected to
minimum. Graphic equalizer sliders should be set at
zero - the detented, center position. Chnnel equalizer
controls should be set to the zero or center position.
You may now safely switch on the power to all
equipment connected to your powered mixer and then
switch on the powered mixer itself. Because you still
have all the level controls set to zero, you should
hear nothing.
