Installation and connection
Ok, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operate your Mix 1832 FX.
However, we advise you to read the following section carefully to be the real master of your own mix. Not
paying enough attention to the input signal level, the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal
will result in unwanted distortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all. So you should follow this procedure for
every single channel:
Turn down all input and output gain controls.
Connect phantom powered microphones before switching on the +48 Volt phantom power switch.
Set the output level of your Mix 1832 FX mixer as „0”, and the connected power amplifier at no more than
75%.
Now, set the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES level at no more than 50%. In this way, you will be able to hear
later what you are doing connecting a pair of headphones or a pair of powered studio monitor speakers.
Position EQ controls on middle position allowing to set the stereo signal front. Keep this control.
Position panoramic (PAN/BAL) control on center position.
With a pair of headphones or studio monitor speakers connected, apply a line level input signal so that the
PEAK LED does not light up.
Increase the input gain properly for maintaining the good headroom and ideal dynamic range.
Depending on the actual application, turn slowly the input and output level controls for obtaining the
maximum gain before distortion.
Now repeat the same sequence for all input channels. The main LED meter could move up into the red
section. In this case you can adjust the overall output level through the main mix control.
