CONNECTIONS:
1. Located on the rear panel is the AC IN (2) adapter jack, used
to plug in the power cord. Before plugging the adapter in, make
sure the
POWER SWITCH (1) located on the rear panel is
turned off.
2. The MX-02 has 2 sets of outputs:
- The MASTER (3) output jacks also connect to the main
amplifier with RCA cables.
- The RECORD (4) output jacks can be used to connect the
mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling
you to record your mix with RCA cables.
3. Located on the rear panel are 2 PHONO(PH)/LINE(LN) CON-
VERTIBLE RCA INPUTS (6,8), and 2 LINE RCA INPUTS (5,7).
The convertible RCA inputs for Channel (CH) 1 (23) & CH 2 (29)
RCA inputs allow PH and LN level equipment to be connected
to the mixer. To adjust the CONVERTER(S) (10,11), just flip the
switch LEFT to operate PH 1 or PH 2 . Flip the switch RIGHT to
operate through LN 1 or LN 3 . The PH INPUTS only accept
turntables with a magnetic cartridge. When using (a) turntable(s),
you will need to ground the RCA cable(s) by screwing in the
grounding fork(s) to the
DUAL GROUNDING SCREWS (9)
located in the back panel of the MX-02 mixer. This is located in
above the CONVERTER SWITCHES (10,11). The stereo LN
INPUTS only accept line level inputs such as a CD , DAT ,
MiniDisc , etc.
NOTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND MAY
CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."
4. Headphones may be plugged into the face-plate located 1/4"
HEADPHONE JACK (13).
5. The MIC 1 (12) input (located on the front panel) is a 1/4" con-
nector. The mic input accepts balanced and unbalanced micro-
phones.
OPERATIONS:
1. Once all of your connections have been made in the rear panel,
turn on the mixer by pressing the POWER SWITCH (1).
2. CHANNEL 1: To bring this channel into PROGRAM OUTPUT
( PGM ), you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the
LN SWITCH (18) to toggle from PH1/LN 1 (8) to LN 2 (7) on this
channel. Slowly raise the CH 1 SLIDE CONTROL (23) to a com-
fortable level, once you've selected the proper line. You can fur-
ther modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the
rotary
GAIN (19), HIGH (20), MID (21), LOW (22) controls locat-
ed above the CH 1 SLIDE CONTROL (23).
3. CHANNEL 2: To bring this channel in to PGM , you must first
decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (24) to tog-
gle from PH2/LN 3 (6) to LN 4 (5) on this channel. Slowly raise
the CH 2 SLIDE CONTROL (29) to a comfortable level, once
you've selected the proper line. You can further modify the
sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary
GAIN (25),
HIGH (26), MID (27), LOW (28) controls located above the CH
2 SLIDE CONTROL (29).
4. CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE
(13) jack, you can monitor any or all channels. Use the rotary
CUE LEVEL (32) control to adjust the cue volume without
changing the overall mix. By moving the CUE FADER CON-
TROL (33) to the LEFT you will be able to monitor CH 1 .
Moving the control to the RIGHT allows you to monitor CH 2 .
You may also perform Cue Mix with by using the SPLIT/MIX
SWITCH (34). To keep the CH monitoring separate switch to the
LEFT for SPLIT . To perform Cue mix switch to the RIGHT for
MIX .
5. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (35) allows
you to mix from one channel to another. The CROSSFADER
(35) in your unit is removable and if the need arises can be eas-
ily replaced.
6. OUTPUT SELECTION CONTROL: Once you are comfortable
with the sound level of your music you may adjust the volume
with the
MASTER (31) rotary control.
7. MIC SECTION: Plug your main mic into the MIC 1 1/4" INPUT
(12) located on the front panel. The rotary controls for MID (16)
and LOW (17) for MIC 1 (12) allow you to adjust the tone of MIC
1 (12). Above the MID (16)/ LOW (17) controls are the rotary MIC
1 LEVEL (15) control, which adjust the decibel level of MIC 1
(15).
8. TALKOVER: The purpose of the TALKOVER MODE is to allow
the program playing to be muted so that the mic may be heard
above the music. The TALKOVER SWITCH (14) has 3 settings:
- When the TALKOVER SWITCH (14) is in the LEFT position,
TALKOVER MODE is OFF .
- When the TALKOVER SWITCH (14) is in the CENTER posi-
tion, TALKOVER MODE is ON, all music volume would be
turned down by 16 dB regardless of input signal from MIC 1
(12).
- When the TALKOVER SWITCH (14) is in the RIGHT position,
AUTO TALKOVER MODE is ON , and the volume of all sources
except MIC 1 (12) inputs is lowered by 16 dB , whenever a mic
detects input signal.
9. VU METER: The VU METER (30) indicates the decibel level of
the PROGRAM OUTPUT (PGM) through the left and right
stereo channels.
