DIGITAL PORTS (FXi models only)
In order to give further versatility and to answer to most recent hi-tech oriented customers needs, we
provided some models of our EVE mixing console of several digital audio ports. USB I/O is useful for
generic multi-purpose connections to computer, MP3 players and so on. Specific digital professional
audio ports include Optical and Coaxial connections. Switchable Optical and Coaxial input can be used
for direct connection to audio boards, DAT recorders, CD players, etc. COAXIAL digital output can be
used for direct connection to audio boards, CD recorders, and so on.
INSTALLATION
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit to comfortably work and even for cooling purposes,
to avoid over-heating. Don’t place your mixing console on high-temperature devices such as radiators
or power amps.
EVE console is connected to the mains via the supplied adapter cable. Please use only the adapter
provided with the console, this adapter complies with all the applicable safety standards. First connect
the adapter cable to the console, then connect the cable plug to the mains, finally turn on the console.
Please note that all units must be properly grounded. For your own safety, you should never remove
any ground connector/device from electrical devices or power cables, or make them inactive. Please
ensure that only qualified people install and operate the mixing console.
OPERATIONS
All EVE console levels should be at minimum; so checks that all knobs and fader (if any) are at -
∝
. If a
level is raised please move it to -
∝
position, preventing in this way any noise which could damage your
speakers and headphones connected. Set EQ, PAN and BAL knobs at center-detent position.
With you amplifiers/active speakers turned off, start making connections. Using XLR cables connect your
microphones, activating PHANTOM power switch for all microphones requiring such power. Connect
line level sources using balanced or unbalanced 1/4” TRS or TS cables. Connect the analogue I/O of
your tape recorder/CD player to CD/TAPE RCA connectors. In FXi models, connect rear panel digital
connectors to the desired I/O digital audio device(s). Connect your headphones to PHONES 1/4” stereo
jack, FX SEND to external FX unit, MAIN OUT to your FoH sound system/studio monitors/audio board,
and (if present in your console) CTRL ROOM OUT to your studio monitors.
Now you can turn on your EVE console and raise MAIN MIX knob/fader to “0”. Immediately after you
can turn on your sound system, and begin to set all the levels. In order to achieve best signal-to-noise
ratio for all inputs, we suggest following procedure. Mono channel: set the LEVEL knob at “0” then raise
the TRIM knob until when louder signals drive Master section output LED around “0”, double checking
even if CLIP LED is lit. Stereo channel: set the LEVEL knob at “0”, then press the +4/-10 sensitivity switch
