User manual NADY SRM-10X

[. . . ] MIXER OWNER'S MANUAL 10-CHANNEL STEREO MIC/LINE MIXER SRM-10X 10-Channel Stereo Mic/Line Mixer SRM-10X Congratulations on your choice of mixers -- you have purchased one of the finest compact mixing consoles on the market today. This unit was developed using the expertise of professional sound engineers and working musicians. You will find that your new NADY AUDIO SRM-10X has superior performance and greater flexibility than any other mixer in its price range. Please read this manual carefully to get the most out of your new unit. [. . . ] This wide range eliminates the need for Mic/Line switching. (10) (11) 6 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS The best balance of S/N and dynamic range will be achieved if you adjust the TRIM control on each channel separately so that the Peak Indicator LED (9) for that channel lights occasionally. (4) LOW CUT FILTER Use this Low-Cut (high-pass) filter (18 dB/octave, -3 dB at 75 Hz) for reducing floor rumble, popping, breathing noises, woolly bottom end, and to tighten up channels in a mix, etc. For almost all effects send purposes, you will want to use the Post Gain selection, so that when a Gain level is adjusted, any reverb send from that channel will follow the fader. Otherwise, when the fader is pulled down, the reverb from that channel will still be audible. 7 (7) PRE/POST SWITCH This switch selects whether the AUX SEND signal is Pre or Post Gain control. (Up = Pre, Depressed = Post) (8) PAN CONTROL The Channel Pan positions the output of the channel in the stereo field of the Master Mix. Its constant-power design ensures there are no level discrepancies whether a signal is hard-panned, center-stage, or somewhere in-between. (9) PEAK LED INDICATOR The Peak LED illuminates when a channel is going into overload. It detects the peak level after the EQ and will light at 3dB before clipping to warn that the signal is approaching overload. You do not want the Peak LED to light except very intermittently during a take or a mix. If it does light persistently, reduce input gain with the TRIM control (4). (10) CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL The channel gain controls determine the output signal level to the Master Mix bus. (11 & 13) PFL SWITCH Channels 1-10 and TAPE IN channels all have PFL (PreFader Listen). This allows the Meter Display and CONTROL ROOM/HEADPHONE outputs to monitor channel signals Pre channel Gain controls. [Note: When the PFL buttons are depressed, the AUX To Meter switch should be in the off (up) position] CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 2. STEREO INPUT SECTION (25) R LINE INPUT When using channels 3-6 as stereo input channels, the left signal should be connected to the L input and the right signal to the R input. These signals will be routed to the AUX, EQ and Channel Gain controls equally and will retain their stereo separation. The AUX, EQ, BAL, and Channel Gain controls all function the same as those on the mono input channels. When a stereo signal is input to a stereo input channel, these controls will affect the left and right signals equally. The Stereo Line Input jacks are 1/4" unbalanced phone jacks (Tip = positive (+), Sleeve = ground. The input signals to these jacks can be either balanced or unbalanced. (12) (13) (14) (14) EQUALIZERS The stereo channel EQ's operate in the same manner as those in the mono channels. The left and right signals will be affected equally. A stereo equalizer is generally preferable to using two mono equalizers when equalizing a stereo signal as it avoids possible discrepancies between the left and right settings. (15) (16) (15) AUX SENDS These are the same as for the mono channels.
