1- MONO MIC/LINE Channels
1
These are channels 5 through 16. They are organised in stereo pair and
provided with XLR sockets and 1/4" TRS phone jacks.If you connect only the
left jack, the input will operate in mono mode, that is the mono signal will
appear on both input channels. You can use these inputs with a stereo
keyboard, drum machine, etc.
3- STEREO INPUTS
2
This is where you connect external sound processors such as compressor-
limiter, equalizers, etc.. The insert point is available on the first 4 MIC
only. channels

4- TRIM
3
The TRIM control is applied in the mono MIC and stereo input channels. It
provides with 2 different indications: One is for the MIC and the other for
LINE levels. When you use a microphone, you shall read the MIC ring (0~50
for mono MIC input, 0~40 for stereo channels); when you use a line level
instrument, you shall read the LINE ring (+15~-35 dB for mono MIC input,
+20~-20 dB for stereo channels). For optimum operation, you shall set this
control in a way that the PEAK LED(16) blinks only occasionally in order to
avoid distortion on the input channel.
Ok, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully
operate your MX1642. However, we advise you to read the following section
carefully to be the real master of your own mixer. 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:
1. Turn down all input and output gain controls.
2. Connect phantom powered microphones before switching on the +48 Volt
phantom power switch.
3. Set the output level of your or the connected power amplifier at no
more than 75%.

5. Position EQ controls on middle position.
6. Position panoramic (PAN/BAL) control on center position.
8. Increase the input gain properly for maintaining the good headroom and ideal
dynamic range.
9. Depending on the actual application, turn slowly the input and output level
controls for obtaining the maximum gain before distortion.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
4.
7. With a pair of headphone or studio monitor speakers are connected, apply a
Line Level input signal so that the PEAK LED does not light up.
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.
10. 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.
RACK mounting
In one side of the package, you will find a pair of RACK-mount. If you want to
assemble your MX1642 on a 19U RACK-box, remove the rubber handle, and fix
the RACK-mount with the attached screws
Your MX1642 is equipped with 10 low-noise
microphone preamplifier with optional phantom
power, 50 dB of Gain and over 115 dB of S/N ratio.
You can connect almost any type of microphone.
Dynamic microphones do not need phantom power.
Use phantom power only with condenser microphones
but make sure that the phantom power button is
disengaged before connecting the microphone.
Phantom power will not damage your dynamic
microphones, so make sure to read the MIC
instructions manual before engaging phantom power.
Use switch (48) to activate/deactivate phantom power.
These channels are also equipped with 1/4" TRS
balanced/unbala nced LINE-IN plugs to connect line-level
instruments such as keyboards, drum machines and
effect devices.
