[. . . ] OPERATING / SERVICE MANUAL QUICK START Operating Manuals!You can't live with them; you can't live without them. If you don't read them, the damn thing never works right; and if you do read them, you get so confused you never get it turned on!For you, we present the famous Quick Start section. [. . . ] The adjacent LED illuminates when this action takes place. In the OFF position, you may ignore items 7 and 9 on this page. This rotary screwdriver adjustment sets the amount of attenuation imposed on all audio in the module by the priority circuitry described in great detail elsewhere in this document. This concentric rotary control adjusts the input levels of the LINE 2 INPUT. These rotary level controls set the amount of signal going out on the AUX BUS OUTS/LOOPS jacks (tips). In the Dual (stereo) mode, Aux A is routed to Master A only, Aux B mixes with Master B only. In the Mix (mono) position, both Aux inputs sum with both Master A and B outputs. These concentric level controls set the output levels of Master A and B channels. If rotated individually they serve the function of both output faders and pan controls. In the STEREO mode, Master A and B outputs are totally independent. In the MONO mode, A and B are summed and identical. Indicates power, as indicated. REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION 1. To be used for either mic or line inputs, pin 2 is hot "+", pin 3 is return "­", and pin 1 is signal ground. Unbalanced inputs should drive pin 2 and use pin 1 as ground. In its out position, this switch sets the input stage gain for microphone usage. When pushed in, the gains are restructured for use with line level inputs. Tip is connected to Channel A, ring gets connected to Channel B. When using the FMM 42 with other Flex mixer modules, the Bus Output of the last module in the system prior to the FMM 42 would be connected to this Input via the 7-pin DIN cable (supplied). To be used in situations where more than one master module is required. When two or more FMM 42s are required, the second modules's Bus Input should be connected to this Output. NOTE: Special cabling may be constructed which would allow the bus inputs and outputs to be used for direct inputs and outputs. See the Flex User's Guide for additional information. [. . . ] As an independent mixer, the FMM 42 provides a switchable MIC or LINE balanced INPUT as well as a stereo LINE-level unbalanced INPUT. This is useful in situations where an audio source such as music or noise masking needs to be combined with a microphone for paging or voice-over requirements. When combined with the capabilities of the ducker feature, the FMM 42 is quite powerful, indeed. To use the module in this way, connect your mic or line source to the MIC/LINE 1 INPUT jack, set the push button adjacent to the connector for the proper source and then set the input trim appropriately.
