INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the 

ART48-MIC/LINE X

 module. This high-end, Class-A, 4-channel input 

unit features sophisticated MIC/LINE switching capabilities that enable either a microphone or a 

line level sound source to be connected to each channel as and when needed, with automatic 

adaptation of the sensitivity range and input impedance. Fully compatible with all existing Arthur48 

and X mixer modules, and equipped with six separately controllable AUX SENDS on each channel, 

the MIC/LINE X is ideally suited to both live sound use and studio applications where more flexible 

input and output options are required.

Like all Arthur modules, the MIC/LINE X features circuits that are built using single, discrete Class-A 

electronic components and pure high-voltage DC amps (without a single capacitor in the signal path), 

offering 30 dB headroom and low noise, as well as unparalleled stability, warmth and transparency.

To make the most of your MIC/LINE X module and to ensure trouble-free operation, 

please read 

this manual carefully

 before using the unit for the first time. It’s also advisable to retain the 

manual for future reference.

For instructions on installing and combining the various Arthur modules and advice on starting up 

the mixer, please read the separate ART48 ASSEMBLY manual.

SAFETY FIRST!

Safety is of major importance when operating any electrical equipment, so please note the following:

On  a  product,  a  lightning  flash  within  a  triangle  indicates  the 

presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product 

enclosure.  This  may  be  of  sufficient  magnitude  to  cause  risk  of 

electric shock. 

ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

This information applies to all modules and power supplies that form your ARTHUR mixer:

 

Before connecting your mixer to the mains, make sure that the mains voltage does not exceed 

the voltage specified on the mixer/power supply.

 

Do not use your mixer if its power supply, cable or plug are not in perfect condition. Replace 

these as necessary, using the exact models/types specified. If any fixed cables need replacing, 

this should be done by a suitably qualified professional. 

 

Your mixer should only be connected to a mains socket with a ground protection system.

 

When setting up or installing your mixer, make sure that the mains socket and the power supply’s 

mains cable and plug are easily accessible.

 

Do not, under any circumstances, defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type 

plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has 

two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade and third prong are provided for your 

safety. If the supplied plug does not fit your mains socket, consult an electrician for replacement 

of the obsolete socket. 

 

Do not expose your mixer to rain or any other water (even in small amounts). Do not use the 

mixer near water.

 

Avoid spilling drinks or any other liquids on the mixer.
