Applications

This compact 5-channel audio mixer with USB interface is suited for universal applications, e.g. For audio recording on the computer.

The mono input channel allows to connect a (phantom-powered) microphone; The stereo inpi channel allows to connect an audio source with line signal level. In addition, the mixer is pro with connections for a recorder and headphones. The mixed signal is sent to the output via a 1 jacks and the USB port. It is also possible to use the USB port as an input to transfer audio da from the computer to the mixer. When connecting the mixer to a computer, power is supplied the USB connection. When operating the mixer without a computer, either use a suitable pow supply unit with USB connection to operate the mixer.

Setting into Operation

Prior to connection/disconnection and prior to each switching on, the output controls MONI1 /PHONES (11) and MAIN MIX (13) should be turned back to “min”.

1. As audio sources, microphones and/or audio sources with line signal level (e.g. effect unit! musical instruments, players) can be connected to the five input channels.
   Mono channels CH1:Ined XLR/6.35mm jack are available as inputs (1)

   • Connect microphones to the balanced XLR jack or HEADSET jacks
     The XLR jack (CHI) and 3.5mm jack (HEADSET MIC IN) always supplies a +18V phantom power and it thus suitable for a condenser Microphone operated with this phantom power. Caution!When phantom power switch is on (7) Do not connect a microphone with unbalanced output via XLR plug; it may be damaged by the phantom power.

   • Connect mono sources with line level to the 6.35 jack.

   • Do not use both CH1 Input ( l)-MIC IN and HEADSET (8)-MIC IN

2. The input LINE IN(2) of the stereo channel LINE/USB allows to connect an audio source with line signal level (e.g. CD player) via RCA plugs: L= left channel, R= right channel.1

3. The input 2TK(3) of the stereo channel allows to connect an audio source with line signal level (e.g. Recorder , MP3 player…e.t.c)

4. The 3.5mm jack MONITOR/PHONES(8) allows to connect stereo headphones (impedance 16 ohm). Thus, you will be able to monitor the output signal or the input signal of the jacks 2TK (3) via headphones.

5. At the stereo MAIN MIX(4), the output signal adjusted with the MAIN MIX. control (13)i present. This output allows to connect an amplifier or a second mixer via a RCA plug.

Operation with a computer

When operating the mixer with a computer, either use the audio software supplied with the operating system or an audio software installed additionally. Various programs for audio reproduction/ recording are available on the internet free of charge.

1. Start the computer. Connect the USB port (5) to a USB connection on the computer via the 1 cable provided. Switch on the mixer with the switch POWER(7)[position ON]. The LED O /CHARGE(6) lights up according to the battery charge status (chapter 3.3).

2. The computer recognizes the USB interface of the mixer as an external device for audio ir and audio output, e.g. as “USB Ear Microphone” . depending on the operating system required drivers (standard drivers of the operating system) are available on the computer.
   Note: If not all drivers required are available on the computer, install them, e.g. via the orig CD of the operating system. Restart the computer after installation, if necessary.

3. Open the reproduction / recording program and make the required settings for audio reproduction via the mixer or audio recording from the mixer (user manual of the program it is not possible to record or reproduce any sound, make sure to activate the USB interface audio input or audio output in the system settings of the operating system of the computer.

Hint: If the mixer is connected to a computer and to any units GND via their mains cables (I amplifiers), there may be hum noise due to ground loops. To eliminate this noise, connect mixer to the corresponding unit via a ground isolator.

Operation with power supply unit

Via its USB connection, the power supply unit must provide an output voltage of 5V and an output current of 500mA. Connect the power supply unit to the USB port (5) via the USB cable provided, then connect it to a mains socket. Switch on the mixer with the switch POWER(22)[position ON]. The LED ON(22) lights Up.

Operation

The following steps merely serve as an aid, other ways of procedure are also possible.

1. As a basic setting first
   • set all control GAIN (14), EQ (15), PAN (16) to mid-position.
   • Turn all control LEVEL (11, 13, 18, 21) back to the left stop.
2. When a microphone is connected to the jack MIC IN (1) of HEADSET ( 8 ) , speak into the microphone and turn up the corresponding control LEVEL(18) until you obtain a good microphone signal. If you need to turn up the control LEVEL completely for this purpose, further turn up the control GAIN(14). However, if the led PEAK (17) lights up and is not extinguished immediately, turn back the control gain, The led PEAK must only briefly light up with level peaks.
3. Use the panorama control PAN(16) to place the microphone signal on the stereo base. Adjust the sound with the controls HI and LO (15).
4. Turn up the control LEVEL(21) for channel LINE/USB until you obtain a good input. LINE /USB audio source can be select come from USB port (5) or LINE IN Rea jacks (2) by button switch (19).
5. Use the controls LEVEL (18, 21) to mix the input signals of channels CH1and LINE/USB or to fade them in and out. When a channel is not used, set it’s control to “MIN”.
6. Use the controls MAIN MIX (13) to set the level of the output signal that is sent via the jacks MAIN MIX(4) and the USB port (5). If one of the overload LEDs CLIP (12) shows red, turn back the control MAIN MIX accordingly.
7. The headphone output MONITOR/PHONF(8) allows to monitor the output signal of the mixer. For this purpose, the button 2TK TO MAIN MIX/ PHONE (10). Adjust the headphone volume with the control MONITOR/PHONES (11).

WARNING: Never adjust the headphones to a very high volume. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing! Your ear will get accustomed to high volumes which do not seem to be that high after some time. Therefore, do not further increase a high volume after getting used to it.
