ULTRAZONE ZMX8210 Controls
The controls of channels 1 – 6 and 7 – 8 are
largely identical as well as the controls of the LEFT,
RIGHT and AUX buses. Channels 1 and 7 plus the LEFT
bus are described exemplarily.
Pressing the switch controls, unless otherwise
noted, activates the described functions, but are
deactivated when not pressed.
Channels 1 – 6
(1)
PAD:
The switch attenuates the input level of
loud signal sources by 20 dB.
(2)
+48 V:
The switch activates the phantom
power for capacitor microphones.
(3)
L, R, AUX:
The three switches route the
channel signals to one or more output buses.
(4)
THRESH
(only Channel 1): The knob selects
the level at which the signal is muted.
When the level of the input signal exceeds the
specified value, the signal of channels 2 – 8 on
the LEFT/RIGHT bus is muted. Apply the Mute
function to fade out music signals as soon as
a microphone on channel 1 is talked into.
(5)
LEVEL:
This knob adjusts the preamplification
and the level with which the input signal is
sent to the selected buses.
(6)
LEDs:
The LEDs show the input levels.
When the CLIP LED lights up, the input level
needs to be attenuated by using the LEVEL
knob
(5)
to prevent clipping. In case the
attenuation is insufficient, use PAD switch
(1)
to attenuate the signal further.
Channels 7 – 8
(7)
MONO:
This switch selects the configuration
of the stereo channels:
• In mono mode (switch pressed), the channel’s L/R
inputs are mixed together and sent to the LEFT,
RIGHT and AUX buses. In this way, a mono signal
is sent to all output buses at the same time.
• In stereo mode (switch not pressed), the signal
of the L input is sent to the LEFT bus, the R input
is sent to the RIGHT bus and a mixed L/R signal is
sent to the AUX bus.
(8)
LEDs:
These have the same function as the
control
(6)
. In stereo mode, the LEDs show the
summed level of the input signals L and R.
(9)
LEVEL:
This has the same function as the
control
(5)
. In stereo mode, the control
adjusts the volume level of the L/R signal.
(10)
CH SELECT:
This switch is used either to activate
channel 7 or 8. The active channel is indicated
by the glowing of the corresponding LED.

MIC LOW CUT:
This switch cuts low-frequency
rumble below 100 Hz
(12)
MIC MIX:
This switch removes the signal
of channels 1 – 6 from the remote control
function, allowing only the output volume
of channels 7/8 on the LEFT/RIGHT bus to be
remote controlled. When the switch is not
pressed, the total volume of all channels fed
to the LEFT/RIGHT bus are remote controlled.
(13)
RIGHT MUTE:
This switch excludes the RIGHT
bus from the Mute function. This is helpful
when using the RIGHT and LEFT buses for
different zones (rooms).
• When the switch is pressed, the signal of
channels 1 – 8, which is dependent on
the signal level of channel 1, is muted on
both the LEFT and RIGHT bus. This occurs
when the input level of channel 1 drops
below the specified threshold value
(THRESH
(4)
).
• When the switch is not pressed, only the
LEFT bus is muted while the RIGHT bus
continues to transmit a signal, provided
the individual channels have been
routed accordingly.
(14)
EQ ON:
The switch activates the equalizer
(15)
for the LEFT and RIGHT bus.
(15)
LOW/LOW MID/HIGH MID/HIGH:
This
knob adjusts the boost/cut of factory-preset
frequencies as follows:
• LOW: This boosts/cuts frequencies below 70 Hz by
a maximum of ±15 dB.
• LOW MID: This boosts/cuts frequencies around
300 Hz by a maximum of ±15 dB.
• HIGH MID: This boosts/cuts frequencies around 3
kHz by a maximum of ±15 dB.
• HIGH: This boosts/cuts frequencies above 10 kHz
by a maximum of ±15 dB.
Buses
(16)
LEDs:
When the CLIP LED lights up, attenuate
the output level by using the LEVEL knob
(17)
to avoid clipping.
(17)
LEVEL:
This knob adjusts the output level of
the bus outputs OUT L, OUT R and AUX.
