User manual PEAVEY MESSENGER M100

[. . . ] A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] Connect the speaker cables from the jack on the rear of each speaker to the powered mixer, connecting the left speaker to the LEFT OUTPUT and the right speaker to the RIGHT OUTPUT jacks on the side panel of the unit. When using more than one mic, try to connect them to channels in the same order as they appear on stage to make them easier to identify and control. Split Track Mix Split Track is a featured used on many sing along CDs and cassettes. The vocals are on one side (track) while the music is on the other track. The advantage is that the music can be played without or with only a small amount of vocals during the performance (to help stay on key and beat/que). The Messenger has provisions for the split track feature built in. Channels 4 and 5 have independent volume controls that are controlled by a master channel volume. For example: If you want to increase the volume of the pre-recorded material (both tracks) to the level of the other channels (such as a live singer), simply increase the channel 4/5 master volume. If you want to increase the volume of the music over the vocals, simply increase the music control on ch 4/5 or vice versa for vocals. This method is much better than a balance or fader because it allows one track to be controlled independently of the other, whereas faders and balance controls reduce one channel while increasing the other. Since the recording companies who produce these split-track cassettes often use differing production methods, sometimes the music and vocal tracks are swapped--meaning that the Music and Voice controls on channel 4/5 will be respectively backward. What you would expect to hear when adjusting the Music level control would be the voice, and vice versa. We've included a "swap" button on this channel that allows you to flip-flop the tracks so our Music and Voice level controls always adjust the correct track. If you adjust the Messenger's Music control and notice a change in the vocal volume, for example, then simply press the Music Track Select button. The Music control will then adjust the music, and the Voice control will adjust the vocals. For normal audio play, be sure to set the vocal and music volume controls on channel 4/5 to "5. " The channel master volume is used to control the volume of the track. Connecting Power Before connecting power, make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the IEC power cord to the receptacle on the back panel of the unit, and then to a suitable electrical outlet. If an extension cord is used, be sure that it is a three-wire cord with ground pin intact to preserve the safety ground. ONLY If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond to the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E, the earth symbol; colored green; or colored green and yellow. (2) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black.
