(volume) level is too low and the sound may be accompanied by background hiss. If the
indicator is lit continuously it means that the input (volume) level is too high and the
sound may be distorted. Monitor the sound with headphones and adjust the input levels
for the best sound.
OUTPUT SELECT CH A
(#6) and
CH B
(#7)
By setting the
OUTPUT SELECT
switch
(#6 and #7)
to number
1
the sound of any
microphone plugged into
INPUT CH 1
(#11)
will be sent to
OUTPUT CH A
(#13)
and
OUTPUT CH B
(#14)
. If using the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound of this
microphone will be sent to both the right and left channels.
By setting the
OUTPUT SELECT
switch
(#6 and #7)
to number
1/2
the sound of any
microphones plugged into
INPUT CH 1
(#11)
and
INPUT CH 2
(#12)
will both be sent to
OUTPUT CH A
(#13)
and
OUTPUT CH B
(#14)
. If using the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound of both microphones will be sent to both the right and left channels.
By setting the
OUTPUT SELECT
switch
(#6 and #7)
to number
2
the sound of any
microphone plugged into
INPUT CH 2
(#12)
will be sent to
OUTPUT CH A
(#13)
and
OUTPUT CH B
(#14)
. If using the
UNBALANCE OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound of this
microphone will be sent to both the right and left channels.
OUTPUT SELECTOR TIPS:
1) How to get Stereo (Dual-Mono) output sound from 1 microphone: Connect a microphone
to
INPUT CH 1
(#11)
and set the
OUTPUT SELECT
(#6 and #7)
to
1
. The sound of this
microphone will come out of both
OUTPUT CH A
(#13)
and
OUTPUT CH B
(#14)
.
If using the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound of this microphone will be sent to
both the right and left channels.
2) How to get stereo sound output from 2 microphones: Connect 1 microphone to
INPUT
CH 1
(#11)
and connect 1 microphone to
INPUT CH 2
(#12)
. Set the
CH A OUTPUT
SELECT
(#6)
to
1
and set the
CH B OUTPUT SELECT
(#7)
to
2
. The sound of the
microphone connected to
INPUT CH 1
(#11)
will come out of
OUTPUT CH A
(#13)
and
the sound of the microphone connected to
INPUT CH 2
(#12)
will come out of
OUTPUT
CH B
(#14)
.
If using the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound of one microphone will output on
the right channel and the sound of the other microphone will output on the left channel.
3) How to get Mono sound output from 2 microphones: Connect 1 microphone to
INPUT
CH 1
(#11)
and connect 1 microphone to
INPUT CH 2
(#12)
. Set both
OUTPUT SELECT
switches
(#6 and #7)
to
1/2
. The sound of both microphones will come out of
OUTPUT
CH A
(#13)
and
OUTPUT CH B
(#14)
. By using just one output you will free up one input
on your video camera or audio recorder. By using both outputs the sound of both
microphones can be sent to both inputs on your video camera or audio recorder.
If using the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound of both microphones will be mixed
together on the right and left channels.
4) How to get Mono sound output from 1 microphone: Connect 1 microphone to
INPUT
CH 1
(#11)
. Set the
CH A OUTPUT SELECT
(#6)
to
1
and set the
CH B OUTPUT
SELECT
(#7)
to
2
.
The sound of the microphone will come out
OUTPUT CH A
(#13)
only.
If using the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound will output on only one channel.
5) How to get 2 microphones to output sound of 1 microphone in 1 channel and both
microphones in the other channel: Connect 1 microphone to
INPUT CH 1
(#11)
and
connect 1 microphone to
INPUT CH 2
(#12)
. Set the
CH A OUTPUT SELECT
(#6)
to
1
and set the
CH B OUTPUT SELECT
(#7)
to
1/2
. The sound of the microphone connected
to
INPUT CH 1
(#11)
will come out of
OUTPUT CH A
(#13)
only. The sound of both
microphones will come out of
OUTPUT CH B
(#14)
.
If using the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
(#16)
the sound of 1 microphone will come out on
one channel and the sound of both microphones will come out on the other channel.
MONITOR
CONTROL (#8) and
MONITOR
OUTPUT (#15)
The
MONITOR
control
(#8)
adjusts the volume level of headphones connected to the
MONITOR
output
(#15)
. Zero is the lowest (quietest) setting, 10 is the highest (loudest).
MONITOR
SELECTOR SWITCH (#9)
Normally, set the
MONITOR
selector
(#9)
to position
A/B
. In the
A/B
position you will
monitor the sound of all connected microphones using either stereo or mono headphones.
If you only want to hear the output from
CH A
, use stereo headphones and set the switch
to position
A
. Or, if you only want to hear the output from
CH B
, use stereo headphones
and set the switch to position
B
.
OUTPUT LEVEL
SWITCH (#10)
Set the
OUTPUT LEVEL
switch
(#10)
to
MIC
when using the FMX-2 with video cameras
or audio recorders which have a MIC input.
Set the
OUTPUT LEVEL
switch
(#10)
to
LINE
when using the FMX-2 with video cameras
or audio recorders which have a LINE or AUX level input.
NOTE: If the output volume is to low when using the
MIC
level output, change the output
level
LINE
. If the output volume is to high when using the
LINE
level output, change the
output level to
MIC
.
INPUT CH 1
(#11) and
CH 2
(#12)
