BASIC SETUP AND OPERATION

PAGE 8 MX82 INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL

The inputs of the MX82 can accommodate a wide range of sources

including dynamic microphones, DVD and CD players. The output may be

used to drive power (booster) ampliﬁers, other mixers or mixer ampliﬁers.

Each installation will require setting the appropriate relative mix of levels

between microphones and program. Also consider what the output is

driving.

Setting up correct gain structure through the whole system is important

to achieve optimal results. The following step by step procedure has been

devised to assist during the setup process. When the MX82 was shipped

to you from the factory, it was set up in a particular way. In the following

procedure it is essential that you are starting from these initial settings.

+ Program Input Gain Controls – half (12 o’clock)

+ XLR Mic/Line switch – MIC

+ XLR Phantom power - on

+ Input Level Controls – off

+ Output Level Control – off

CONNECT THE SOURCES

First connect all the required sources to the appropriate input connectors.

If the source is a microphone, set the MIC/LINE switches to the “MIC”

position. If the source is an electret or condenser microphone, set the

phantom switch to the “P/P on” position.

CONNECT THE OUTPUTS

Turn the ampliﬁers off. Connect the MX82 output to the ampliﬁers’ line level

input. Check that the MX82 is on, and then turn on the ampliﬁers.

If the ampliﬁers have a level control, set them it to a sensitivity of 0dBu.

If in doubt, set it to maximum.

SET THE LEVELS

Turn the input levels up to 5. Turn up the output level until it is at an

appropriate level for the listening environment. You will now have to adjust

the relative levels of the inputs to achieve a good balance. The aim of these

adjustments is to have all level controls at between 3 and 7. This may

not be possible however. A good rule of thumb is that input level controls

should be higher than the output level controls.
