 AUDIO INPUT

POWERING UP

• Power on any devices connected to input jacks

• Power on the LX8

•  Power on the powered speakers connected to the LX8’s MAIN OUTS

SETTING LEVELS
•   MICROPHONE  –

 If you have connected a condenser microphone, press the 48V switch (the 48V LED will come on). If you have connected a 

dynamic microphone, the 48V switch should be in the off position with the 48V LED off. If you experience too much “boominess” or bass in the 

microphone signal, set the 80Hz HPF button to the on position. While speaking or singing into the connected microphone, slowly bring up the 

channel 1 GAIN control until only the loudest input briefly triggers the channel 1 CLIP indicator LED. Reduce the GAIN control slightly from this 

level. Continue speaking or singing into the connected microphone and slowly bring up the CH 1 level control to the 12 o’clock position, then 

slowly bring up the MAIN level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.

•  PHONE/TABLET/LAPTOP (ANALOG CONNECTION)–

 Press play on the connected audio player and increase the player’s internal volume 

control to maximum level. Slowly bring up the BLUETOOTH | STEREO / CH 7|8 level control to the 12 o’clock position, then, slowly bring up the 

MAIN level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.

•  GUITAR – 

Make sure the channel 3|4 GUITAR HI-Z switch is set to the on position. While strumming the guitar, bring up the CH 3|4 channel level 

control to the 12 o’clock position and slowly bring up the MAIN level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.

•   COMPUTER (USB CONNECTION) -

 With the computer’s sound output set to WAVE OUT USB DEVICE and with audio playing on the computer, 

bring up the CH 5|6 level control to the 12 o’clock position and slowly bring up the main level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.

•   BLUETOOTH AUDIO -

 Follow the Bluetooth pairing instructions below. While paired and with audio content streaming from the mobile device, 

and with the mobile device output volume set to maximum, slowly bring up channel the 7|8 channel level control to the 12 o’clock position. Then 

slowly bring up the main level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.

•  POWERED SPEAKERS –

 To monitor through powered speakers, while source signal from the microphone, phone/tablet/laptop, guitar or 

computer is present, slowly bring up the MAIN fader level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.

•  HEADPHONES –

 Since the headphone level control is independent from the MAIN level control, first ensure that the channel level controls are 

 

set so that ample signal is feeding the main and headphone buses. The meters should show b3 and +5 dB with the MAIN level control at 

the 12 o’clock position. When this is accomplished, slowly bring up the headphone level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.

The mixer powers up with Bluetooth off. Press the PAIR button to initialize Bluetooth and activate pairing (the PAIR LED will flash, indicating that 

it is ready to pair). The LX8 will automatically reconnect to the previous Bluetooth audio source if it is available, and will otherwise be available for 

Bluetooth pairing from a source audio device such as a smartphone.

If connecting for the first time, look for and select “Harbinger Mixer” on your Bluetooth audio source device.

The PAIR LED is lit solid when currently paired, blinking when available for pairing, and off if Bluetooth has been disabled by pressing and holding 

the PAIR button, or when the mixer first powers up.

Pressing the PAIR button when a pairing is active forces any currently connected Bluetooth audio source to disconnect, and makes the mixer 

available for pairing.

See Bluetooth Troubleshooting section in case of difficulty.
