Listening for a Lifetime

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. VocoPro and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to a higher volume of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Some common decibel ranges:

Level: Example

• 30 Quiet library, Soft whispers
• 40 Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic
• 50 Light traffic, Normal Conversation
• 60 Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine
• 70 Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant
• 80 Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.

The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:

Level: Example

• 90 Subway, Motorcycle, Truck traffic, Lawn Mower
• 100 Garbage truck, Chainsaw, Pneumatics drill
• 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers
• 140 Gunshot blast, Jet plane
• 180 Rocket launching pad

Getting Started

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

• WirelessMix
• Power Adapter

Getting Connected

CONNECTING A MICROPHONE

The WirelessMix can support up to 4 wired microphone connections. The 4 connections can be from wired microphones or from wireless microphone receivers. The WirelessMix supports microphones connected with either the XLR or 1/4” cables.

If using microphones with an XLR cable –

Plug each of the microphones, up to 4, into Microphone Input #1-4.

• If using powered/condenser mics, the +48V Phantom switch must be in the ON position.

Note: Using the +48V Phantom switch with passive microphones will result in a clicking noise from the input channel.

If using microphones with a 1/4” cable –

Plug each of the microphones, up to 4, into Line Input #1-4.

• Using XLR and 1/4” jacks simultaneously will result in both input signals being mixed together on the same input channel. Adjusting the Input Gain or Input Volume will cause both signals to be raised or lowered together.
• It is recommended to adjust the input gain either up or down until you get an audible signal. Be sure the Channel Volume Sliders are set to nominal to ensure all inputs are heard equally.

Notes: For best audio, adjust all input gains and volumes so that the LED Level Meter almost never illuminates the top RED LED.

USING THE CHANNEL INSERTS

The 1/4” insert jacks are used with an external effects processor. Each jack sends the respective unmodified Mic/Line input signal out to an effects processor and receives the modified signal back.

• The Insert jacks require a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) 1/4” jack to be used properly.
• The Channel Volume Slider & Master Volume Slider will adjust the output level of the signal being sent out to the external effects processor. Once the desired audio effects are applied to the signal, it is then looped back into the WirelessMix.
• The effects knob will apply the ONBOARD mic effects to the already modified signal from the external effects processor.

CONNECTING AN INSTRUMENT

The WirelessMix supports up to 4 mono input signals via the Line Inputs #1-4. These inputs can be from an instrument or another piece of audio equipment that uses a mono TS (Tip-Sleeve) 1/4” jack.

• Plug in the mono TS (Tip-Sleeve) 1/4” jack into the Line Inputs #1-4.
• Using XLR and 1/4” jacks simultaneously will result in both input signals being mixed together on the same input channel. Adjusting the Input Gain or Input Volume will cause both signals being raised or lowered together.
• It is recommended to adjust the input gain either up or down until you get an audible signal. Be sure the Channel Volume Sliders are set to nominal to ensure all inputs are heard equally.

Notes: For best audio, adjust all input gains and volumes so that the LED Level Meter almost never illuminates the top RED LED.

USING THE RCA INPUTS

The RCA Inputs are intended for audio sources such as CD/CD+G players, smartphones, tablets, or any other music source. They are line-level inputs.

• RCA Input #1 represents input channels 5 & 6:
• Left, white jack is Ch. 5
• Right, red jack is Ch. 6

Note: Ch. 5/6 PAN knob must be in middle position to get stereo audio.

• RCA Input #2 represents input channels 7 & 8:
• Left, white jack is Ch. 7
• Right, red jack is Ch. 8

Note: Ch. 7/8 PAN knob must be in middle position to get stereo audio.

Notes:

• It is recommended to adjust the input gain either up or down until you get an audible signal. Be sure the Channel Volume Sliders are set to nominal to ensure all inputs are heard equally.
• For best audio, adjust all input gains and volumes so that the LED Level Meter almost never illuminates the top RED LED.

USING THE RCA OUTPUTS

The RCA Outputs are available to send the mixed signal out to either a recording device or other audio equipment. They each have a distinct volume output control. They are line-level.

• Record Output Volume Control is the associated channel volume slider(s).
• Pre-Out Output Volume Control is the associated channel volume & Master Volume Slider.

USING THE 1/4” LINE INPUTS

The 1/4” line inputs are intended for any audio sources that use a 1/4” mono jack. They are line-level inputs.

Refer to Descriptions & Details for information on function.

• If using a 1/4” Mono source:
• Line 5 & 7 will output the mono signal to both Left and Right channels.
• Line 6 & 8 will output the mono signals to the Right channel only.
• If using two 1/4” Mono Sources as a stereo source:
• Line 5 & 6 must be used together as a stereo source.
• Line 5/6 PAN must be set to middle position.

Note: Line 5 represents the LEFT channel. Line 6 represents the RIGHT channel.

OR

• Line 7 & 8 must be used together as a stereo source.
• Line 7/8 PAN must be set to the middle position.

Note: Line 7 represents the LEFT channel. Line 8 represents the RIGHT channel.

WARNING: If using RCA and Line Inputs simultaneously, channel volume slider will adjust BOTH audio signals.

Notes:

• It is recommended to adjust the input gain either up or down until you get an audible signal. Be sure the Channel Volume Sliders are set to nominal to ensure all inputs are heard equally.
• For best audio, adjust all input gains and volumes so that the LED Level Meter almost never illuminates the top RED LED.

USING THE SEND & RETURN JACKS

The 1/4” Send & Return jacks are intended for use with an external effects processor or other audio equipment. Both Send & Return jacks require a TS (Tip-Sleeve) 1/4” cable. Refer to Descriptions & Details for information on function.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQS

What is the Nominal volume setting mentioned in the manual? Why is it important?

• The Nominal setting is the level at which audio equipment is designed to operate. It is indicated by the white box on the Channel and Master Volume Sliders.
• When connecting a piece of equipment to the WirelessMix for the first time, the nominal setting will ensure the audio will be audible and will facilitate mixing of multiple audio sources.

Why am I not getting music volume?

• Ensure the music sources are plugged securely into their jacks; the RCA Inputs or 1/4” Mono Jacks.
• Adjust the CH. 5/6 or CH. 7/8 PAN to middle position to get stereo audio.
• Ensure the respective Channel Volume and Master Volume Sliders are turned up to audible levels.
• If using a stereo (TRS) or mono (TS) signal in CH. 5 or CH.7, the associated CH. PAN must be set turned counterclockwise to hear the audio.
• Using a mono (TS) signal in either CH. 6 or CH. 8 with the associated V/C toggle on, there will be no audio heard from the mono input.

Why can’t I hear the microphone audio?

• If using an external sound processor –
  • Make sure the settings on the external sound processor are adjusted appropriately. If the output volume is turned down on the processor, then the WirelessMix will have a low microphone input volume.
  • Double-check check that the Send and Return volumes are turned up.
  • Ensure proper signal path between Send/Return jacks and the external s ound processor.
  • If using the Send/Return jacks, ensure Channel Input Slider is turned down.
• If using XLR Mics –
  • Ensure the appropriate channel volume slider AND gain knob are turned up to audible levels.
  • Ensure microphones are switched on.
  • Swap microphone cables.
• If using 1/4” Mics –
  • Ensure the appropriate channel volume slider AND Gain knob are turned up to audible levels.
  • Double-check that the 1/4” mic cable is plugged into the LINE input jacks, not the INSERT input jacks.
  • Double-check that the 1/4” mic cable is a TS, not a TRS.
  • Ensure microphones are switched on.
  • Swap microphone cables.
• If using the wireless mic modules –
  • Ensure the volume knob on each of the installed microphone modules are turned up; it would be the VOL knob on the face of the module.
  • Be aware that whichever wired mics that are plugged into either XLR or LINE inputs will be mixed along with any wireless mic modules that might be installed.

What is the difference between the 1/4” Insert jacks and the 1/4” Send/Return jacks?

• The Insert and Send/Return jacks are very similar, meant to be used with external sound equipment.
  • Insert Jacks – They handle the individual channel signal via a 1/4” TRS cable connected to an external sound processor. There is normally only 1 audio signal present.
  • Send/Return Jacks – They handle all of the channel signals via two 1/4” TS cables, each connected to the external sound processor. There will be as many signals present as there are mics plugged into the WirelessMix.

Why is there a popping noise present in the microphone audio?

• The +48V Phantom power is turned on and the microphone being used is not a powered mic.
• Ensure only powered/condenser microphones are used with the +48V Phantom. Why is there no video output form the RCA output jack?
• The RCA output jack will have video present only if the optional DKP-3 karaoke player is installed in Stereo Expansion Port #4.

How do I assign which Stereo Expansion Module audio will be heard?

• The Stereo Expansion Toggle 1 & 2 and Stereo Expansion Toggle 3 & 4 are used to assign which S.E. Module audio will be heard. Refer to Descriptions & Details for information on function.

Why doesn’t the Vocal Cancel work?

• The V/C feature will only work on stereo input signals; using the RCA, CH. 5/6 or CH. 7/8 inputs.

• Even when using a stereo input, the efficacy of the V/C feature will be dependent on the source music. If the source music has vocals recorded in both the LEFT and RIGHT channel, the vocals will still be present when the V/C feature is activated.

• The V/C will work best with multiplexed audio.
  Multiplex audio is formatted as such that the Music audio is present in only the LEFT channel and the Vocal audio present in only the RIGHT channel.

• Refer to Descriptions & Details for information on function.
