Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Yorkville powered mixer. We at Yorkville Sound are confident
that you’ll find the
M810/M1610
to be an excellent and versatile mixer/amp. We’ve
used our experience in the development of powered mixers to create the smallest,
lightest, and most powerful combination mixer/amplifiers available. This manual con-
tains information to help you get the maximum performance from your M810/M1610 .
We hope you’ll take the time to read it.
Stereo Power Amplifier
The
M810/M1610
features high-efficiency stereo power amplifiers which have been
designed to deliver maximum power into a 4-ohm load. When lower speaker impedances are
connected, a dedicated, sonically transparent circuit limits the output power to safe levels.
Multiple speakers may be connected without the amplifier overheating or shutting down.
Input Channels
1. MIC and LINE Inputs
The
M810/M1610
features gold-plated dual-
contact XLR low-impedance microphone connectors
on the channels. These microphone inputs are bal-
anced for maximum noise suppression. Condenser
microphones can also be connected. The 48 Volt
DC phantom power is activated by depressing the
Phantom Power
push-button on the rear panel.
Note: Condenser and dynamic mics can
be used together while the phantom power is on. It will not affect the performance
of the dynamic mics.
In addition to the XLR inputs, each channel features ¼-inch LINE in jacks. Channels
1-4, 7/8 and 9/10 are balanced line-level inputs and will accept either balanced (
T
ip/
R
ing/
S
leeve) or unbalanced (
T
ip/
S
leeve) input cables from high impedance microphones,
mixer line outputs, keyboards, synthesizers, electric pianos etc.
Note:
When connecting a balanced signal, use balanced patch cables with either an
XLR or a T ip/ R ing/ S leeve ¼-inch plug on the mixer end.
