Introduction

Thank you for choosing this 

ARX BarMIX.

 We hope you enjoy using this unique

product as much as we enjoyed creating it. As with all ARX equipment, it has

undergone extensive factory testing and ‘burn in’ before shipping. To ensure

continued trouble free use, please familiarise yourself with the contents of this manual

before using.

About the BarMIX

The ARX BarMix is a unique ‘user-friendly’ Zoner/Mixer, enabling a choice of four

stereo audio sources to be routed to each of two zones.

• Intuitive Layout

The linear ergonomic flow of the front panel controls, coupled with the visual feedback

of level settings and source selection makes using the BarMix totally intuitive, even

for casual staff with no prior experience.
Up to four stereo sources as well as a microphone can be connected to the BarMix,

such as: Tape/cassette/DVD/CD decks, TV/Satellite/video audio, Juke Box/Karaoke

systems. Interlocking switches and an associated status LEDs for each source

ensure that there is no risk of accidentally selecting two sources for the one zone.
A front panel switch turns the microphone on or off, and there is also provision to

connect a push-to-talk signal for priority/evac override.
Dual colour-coded LED meters show output levels for each zone.

• Control Options

Each of the two output zones has the option of being controlled Locally, ie from the

control on the unit itself, or Remotely, with the optional BM-1 VCA Remote Level

Control. A front panel LED indicates if this option is active.
This is useful if the unit needs to be mounted some distance away from where it is

likely to be controlled. For example, the BarMix unit may be installed alongside other

audio equipment, while the Remote can be located behind the bar.

• Superb Audio Quality

Every day, ARX Audio interface products solve audio problems for thousands of

people around the world. We’re fanatical about audio quality because we’re betting

that you are, too. That’s why we have comprehensive EQ control for the microphone,

and for both Zones as well, rather than a single ‘Tone’ knob, to ensure that you and

your clients get the best possible sound.

Ease of use, flexible setup, superb audio quality - that’s the ARX BarMIX promise!

Using the BarMIX

Setting up your BarMIX is very straightforward and intuitive.
Firstly, connect the unit to AC power. 

Please Note

 that it is a dual voltage unit. It is

essential that you check that the voltage on the fuseholder cover below the AC

connector on the rear of the chassis is set correctly before connecting it to AC power.

See 

Page 2

 for more details on this.

Getting started

1. Connect the Zone A and B outputs to their respective amplifiers, then switch the

amplifiers on. Don’t turn them up just yet.

2. Connect the input sources to the 4 pairs of RCA connectors on the rear panel, and

mark in both zones on the front panel what each of them is: CD, Video, Radio, etc.

3. Set the Input trim controls next to each RCA at 0 (12 o’clock)
4. Set them all to play,
5. Turn up the amplifiers about half way
6. Press any line source switch on Zone A, (or B - whichever one you will be able to

listen to)

7. Bring up the Zone A Master level until you can hear something. If all the sources

are connected and playing, then 

something 

will come out of the speakers!

8. Switch through each of the sources on Zone A, while adjusting the Input trim

controls on the rear panel. Aim to get each of the sources at around the same

volume, so the when you switch through them there is no variation in level from

one to the other.

9. Turn the amplifiers up to their normal operating level, then adjust the Zone EQ and

Level control until you have the system sounding correct.

That’s it for the Line inputs. Leave it playing while we go to the Microphone.
1. Connect the Microphone lead to the balanced XLR input on the rear panel. If you

have a separate push-to-talk connector, plug that in as well.

2. Set the Input Gain trim control next to the XLR connector to the tick (12 o’clock)
3. Switch the Mic to the Zone required - A, B or both, with the front panel switches. If

you have a push-to-talk button on the mic, press it down.

4. Speak into the mic while adjusting the mic level control on the front panel until you

reach the output level required.

5. Adjust the mic EQ for the best sound, and that’s just about it!

Congratulations - you’ve just set up the complete BarMIX system.

If you are using the optional BM-1 VCA Remote Level Control pack,

this will come with appropriate connecting details which you should

follow. If this option has been fitted, the front panel control on the

BarMIX will be inoperative, and the Remote LED next to it will be lit.
