Introduction
Thank you for choosing the A.V.E. analogue/digital 4-channel mixer MX-4 with four
microphone/line inputs; an outstanding unit that was designed particularly for superior audio
quality in churches.
Each microphone/line input is equipped with a compressor/limiter, 3-band equalizer, as well as
indicators for volume, operating status, and peak, respectively. An automatic processing unit
controls additional functions, such as priority, ducking, number of activated microphones, or the
hold time. Furthermore, a variable graphic equalizer with 48 bands (12 per output) allows an
optimisation for every application. 16 fully parametric equalizers (4 per output), each with an
individually adjustable Q-factor of up to 100, as well as an automatic gain adjustment when
additional microphones are activated provide an optimum feedback elimination.
The MX-4 is equipped with its own software. This makes programming simple and straightforward
– Laptop or PC are no longer required. Up to 20 different sets of settings, so-called „presets“, can
be programmed and can easily be recalled by the user for each occasion as required.
This manual adresses users in sections 2., 3., and 4.1. These parts of the manual deal with
explaining the components of the unit and describe the basic operation. The following part is
addressed to the qualified technical personnel in charge of extended programming and internal
modifications.
