ULTRAZONE ZMX8210 Controls

Product Controls

Step 2: Controls

The controls of channels 1 – 6 and 7 – 8 are largely identical as well as the controls of the LEFT, RIGHT and AUX buses. Channels 1 and 7 plus the LEFT bus are described exemplarily.

Pressing the switch controls, unless otherwise noted, activates the described functions, but are deactivated when not pressed.

Channels 1 – 6

PAD: The switch attenuates the input level of loud signal sources by 20 dB.
+48 V: The switch activates the phantom power for capacitor microphones.
L, R, AUX: The three switches route the channel signals to one or more output buses.
THRESH (only Channel 1): The knob selects the level at which the signal is muted. When the level of the input signal exceeds the specified value, the signal of channels 2 – 8 on the LEFT/RIGHT bus is muted. Apply the Mute function to fade out music signals as soon as a microphone on channel 1 is talked into.
LEVEL: This knob adjusts the preamplification and the level with which the input signal is sent to the selected buses.
LEDs: The LEDs show the input levels. When the CLIP LED lights up, the input level needs to be attenuated by using the LEVEL knob (5) to prevent clipping. In case the attenuation is insufficient, use PAD switch (1) to attenuate the signal further.
Channels 7 – 8
MONO: This switch selects the configuration of the stereo channels:
- In mono mode (switch pressed), the channel’s L/R inputs are mixed together and sent to the LEFT, RIGHT and AUX buses. In this way, a mono signal is sent to all output buses at the same time.
- In stereo mode (switch not pressed), the signal of the L input is sent to the LEFT bus, the R input is sent to the RIGHT bus and a mixed L/R signal is sent to the AUX bus.
LEDs: These have the same function as the control (6). In stereo mode, the LEDs show the summed level of the input signals L and R.
LEVEL: This has the same function as the control (5). In stereo mode, the control adjusts the volume level of the L/R signal. (10) CH SELECT: This switch is used either to activate channel 7 or 8. The active channel is indicated by the glowing of the corresponding LED.
Main section
MIC LOW CUT: This switch cuts low-frequency rumble below 100 Hz
MIC MIX: This switch removes the signal of channels 1 – 6 from the remote control function, allowing only the output volume of channels 7/8 on the LEFT/RIGHT bus to be remote controlled. When the switch is not pressed, the total volume of all channels fed to the LEFT/RIGHT bus are remote controlled.
RIGHT MUTE: This switch excludes the RIGHT bus from the Mute function. This is helpful when using the RIGHT and LEFT buses fordifferent zones (rooms).
- When the switch is pressed, the signal of channels 1 – 8, which is dependent on the signal level of channel 1, is muted on both the LEFT and RIGHT bus. This occurs when the input level of channel 1 drops below the specified threshold value (THRESH (4) ).
- When the switch is not pressed, only the LEFT bus is muted while the RIGHT bus continues to transmit a signal, provided the individual channels have been routed accordingly.
EQ ON: The switch activates the equalizer (15) for the LEFT and RIGHT bus.
LOW/LOW MID/HIGH MID/HIGH: This knob adjusts the boost/cut of factory-preset frequencies as follows:
- LOW: This boosts/cuts frequencies below 70 Hz by a maximum of ±15 dB.
- LOW MID: This boosts/cuts frequencies around 300 Hz by a maximum of ±15 dB.
- HIGH MID: This boosts/cuts frequencies around 3 kHz by a maximum of ±15 dB.
- HIGH: This boosts/cuts frequencies above 10 kHz by a maximum of ±15 dB.
  Buses
LEDs: When the CLIP LED lights up, attenuate the output level by using the LEVEL knob (17) to avoid clipping.
LEVEL: This knob adjusts the output level of the bus outputs OUT L, OUT R and AUX.
Mains
POWER: The POWER switch powers up the mixer. The POWER switch should be in the Off position when connecting the unit to the mains.
Rear Panel
The BUS LINKS connector as well as the channel inputs 7 and 8 are unbalanced. The other PCB inputs and outputs are balanced. To use balanced connectors for unbalanced connections, insert a jumper wire between the ground pin (m) and the negative pin (-).
IEC power receptacle: The connection to the mains is established through an IEC connector. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements. A fitting power cord is included.
REMOTE: This connector is used for connecting components to remote control the ZMX8210.
- It is possible to connect a simple potentiometer to remote control the volume of the LEFT and RIGHT buses (see Chapter 3.1.3).
- Connect a push-button switch and two control diodes to remote control the CH SELECT switch (10) of channels 7 and 8 (see Chapter 3.1.3).
BUS LINKS: Use this connector to link two ZMX8210s together to provide additional inputs (signals). The three output buses LEFT/RIGHT/AUX are linked together using the connector. The mute signal of the ZMX8210 which is set to be the master is also transmitted so that the mute function of the master is also able to mute the buses of the slave.
SLAVE/MASTER: The switch places the ZMX8210 in the master or slave mode of operation.
When the switch
- is pressed, the ZMX8210 is placed in the slave
  mode of operation.
- is not pressed, the ZMX8210 is placed in the master mode of operation.
AUX/OUT R/OUT L: Balanced signal outputs for buses AUX, RIGHT and LEFT.
INPUTS 7 – 8: Unbalanced signal inputs for channels 7 – 8. The connections are RCA connectors.
INPUTS 1 – 6: Balanced signal inputs for channels 1 – 6
