PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Mono ChannelsMICILINE Combination balanced XLR and 1/4″ TRS input connector. The XLR portion is the MK input and the 1/4″ TRS portion is the LINE connector.
PHANTOM +48V: Press the button to enable +4EN phantom power for use with condenser microphones. The LED to the left of the button illuminates when phantom power is in use. Take care not to use phantom power with dynamic microphones or other devices that can be damaged by the application of phantom power.
GAIN: Adjusts the level of the input signal. The setting range for the MK input (XLR) is -10dB – +40d6 and the setting range for the UNE (TRS) input is +10dB – +60dB.
HIGH Adjusts the amount of treble in the signal. The gain range is -15dB – +15dB, with a center frequency of 12kHz.
LOW: Adjusts the amount of bass in the signal. The gain range is -15dB – +15dB, with a center frequency of 80Hz.
EFF: This fader adjusts the level of the built-in delay effect
PEAK: The LED blinks when the input signal is 3dB below clipping.
VOLUME This fader adjusts the final output level of the MAIN outputs.To prevent noise, the fader should be set to 0 for any unused channel. Ideally, the fader should be set close to 10 for maximum fade control Adjust the GAIN of the input signal so that the VOLUME fader can be set to 10 without clipping.
Stereo/Bluetooth ChannelLEFTAUGHT: Two unbalanced 1/4′ TS line level inputs. The inputs are ganged together to form a stereo pair.
GAN: Adjusts the level of the input signal for the Stereo channel only. The input level of the Bluetoothe channel is determined by the output level of the connected Bluetooth device.
HIGH: Adjusts the amount of treble in the signal. The gain range is -15dB – +15dB, with a center frequency of 12kHz.LOW: Adjusts the amount of bass in the signal. The gain range is -15dB – +15dB, with a center frequency of 80Hz.
ST/BT: Switch to select the Stereo (LEFT/RIGHT) line level inputs or the built-in Bluetoothe radio. Bluetooth is selected when the button is in the DOWN position and the Stereo input is selected when the button is in the UP position.
PEAK: The LED blinks when the input signal is 3dB below clipping.
VOLUME This fader adjusts the final output level of the MAIN outputs for the Stereo channel only. To prevent noise, the fader should be set to 0 when the channel is unused. Ideally, the fader should be set close to 10 for maximum fade control. Adjust the GAIN of the input signal so that the VOLUME fader can be set to 10 without clipping. For the Bluetooth channel, the VOL control in the Outputs section adjust the final output volume level of the MAIN outputs.
Outputs
REC Two unbalanced RCA outputs for connecting a recording device. The signal on this output is identical to the MAIN output signal.PHONES: Unbalanced 1/4″ TRS stereo output for use with headphones. The signal on this output is identical to the MAIN output signal.
MAIN A stereo pair of unbalanced 1/4′ TS outputs that serve as the primary mixed output
BAl Adjusts the stereo balance between the left and right MAIN output.
VOL Adjusts the output level of the Bluetoothe radio. Adjust the output level of your Bluetooth device so that you can set this control to 10 for maximum fade control without clipping.
PAIRING BUITOM This unlabeled button is the Bluetoothe Pairing button. Press the button to initiate Bluetooth pairing. The LED inside the button will begin flashing. When pairing is complete, the LED inside the button will illuminate steadily.
CUP: The two CLIP LEDs indicate the clipping status of the left and right channels. The LEDs flash when the output signal is within 3dB of clipping. If the LEDs flash too often or illuminate steadily, reduce the output level. SIG: The two SIG LEDs indicate the presence of a signal on the left and right MAIN output. If the signal level is too low, the LEDs will not illuminate.POW: The POW LED illuminates when power is applied to the mixer.MAIN: Adjusts the volume level of the MANN outputPHONES: Adjusts the volume level of the PHONES output
Rear Panel
- POWER: Power switch for turning the mixer on or off.
- 12 VDC lit DC barrel connector for connecting the included AC power adapter.
- USB: USB connector for attaching the mixer to a computer for use as a recording device.
- BT: SMA connector for attaching the included Bluetoothe antenna.
BLUETOOTH PAIRING
This mixer includes a Bluetooth® receiver, which allows you to stream audio from your phone or other mobile device. When active, the Bluetooth radio replaces the Stereo Input channel. Perform the following steps to pair the mixer with your Bluetooth enabled device.
- If you have not already installed it, attach the included Bluetooth antenna to the SMA connector on the rear panel.
- Depress the ST/BT switch to select Bluetooth mode. If your device is already paired, it will connect to the mixer and the mixer will emit a sound through the MAIN and PHONES outputs.
- Press the Pairing Button. The LED inside the button will begin flashing, indicating that the mixer is in Bluetooth Pairing Mode.
- Open the Bluetooth settings on your device and scan for nearby Bluetooth connections.
- 5. Locate and select the 1×48, Ix66, or bceS entry. If prompted for a passcode, enter 0000 (four zeros). 6. Once pairing is complete, the mixer will emit a sound through the MAIN and PHONES outputs and the LED inside the Peking Button will stop flashing and will illuminate steadily.
RECONNECTING
If your device has already been paired with the mixer, momentarily press the PaIrk* Button after the mixer is powered on to reconnect the mixer with your device.
