INTRODUCTION

The compact and lightweight MIX 10 A G3 (active) and MIX 10 G3 (passive) speakers each feature a 10″ woofer and a 1″ tweeter with a frequency response from 65 Hz to 20 kHz and a dispersion angle of 80° x 70°. In combination they are perfect for small PA and monitor applications. The integrated mixer on the MIX 10 A G3 provides two stereo line and 3 microphone channels with 2-band EQ, a switchable Hi-Z input, a monitor and a subwoofer line output, a speaker output with separate power amplifier, phantom power, 24-bit digital effects and a Bluetooth® unit.

CONNECTIONS, OPERATING AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS MIX 10 A G3

1. MIC INPUT CH1–CH3
   Balanced microphone input (XLR/6.3 mm jack combo). The use of an unbalanced microphone cable (mono jack) is also possible. Switchable 48 V phantom power (switch no 2).

2. PHANTOM ON/OFF CH1–3
   Switchable 48 V phantom power for the microphone inputs (XLR) of channels 1 to 3 (CH1–CH3) for the use of condenser microphones without independent power supply. Phantom power is on in the ON position and off in the OFF position. Ensure that the microphone channel volume is set to minimum and that a microphone has been connected before switching on phantom power, and ensure that phantom power has been switched off before disconnecting the microphone.

3. HI-Z CH1
   This button switches the jack input of channel 1’s combo jack (CH1) to high impedance (push down to activate). Channel 1 can now be used as an instrument channel, e.g. for an electro-acoustic guitar.

4. 20 dB CH1–CH3
   Button to boost the signal level of the corresponding channel by 20 dB (push down to activate).

5. DFX CH1–CH3
   Effect send control for channels 1 to 3 (CH1–CH3). The signal from the corresponding channel is sent to the internal effects processor (DSP) after the volume control (post-fader) at a level corresponding to the setting of the effect send control. It is important to ensure that the internal input of the effects processor is not overloaded (check PEAK LED).

6. HIGH CH1–CH3
   High-frequency equalizer (12 kHz) for input channels 1–3 (CH1–CH3). Turn anti- clockwise to reduce treble and clockwise to increase treble. The equalizer is inactive in the centre detent position.

7. LOW CH1–CH3
   Low-frequency equalizer (80 Hz) for input channels 1–3 (CH1–CH3). Turn anti- clockwise to reduce and clockwise to increase bass frequencies. The equalizer is inactive in the centre detent position.

8. LEVEL CH1–CH3
   Volume control for channels 1–3 (CH1–CH3). Turn anti-clockwise to reduce volume and clockwise to increase volume.

9. LINE INPUT CH4/5
   Balanced line inputs with XLR/TRS combo jacks to connect a playback device (such as a keyboard or MP3 player).

10. LEVEL CH4/5
    Volume control for the stereo channel 4/5 (CH4/5). Turn anti-clockwise to reduce volume and clockwise to increase volume.

11. LINE INPUT
    Stereo line input with 3.5 mm jack socket for an MP3 player or another playback device. The LINE INPUT and Bluetooth® interfaces can both be used simultaneously. Adjust the volume balance on the playback devices.

12. LEVEL LINE INPUT/BLUETOOTH®
    Volume control for the line input and the Bluetooth unit. Turn anti-clockwise to reduce and clockwise to increase volume.

13. BLUETOOTH®/HOLD TO LINK
    The mixer of the MIX 10 A G3 speaker is equipped with Bluetooth technology, which means that audio files from another Bluetooth playback device (e.g. Smartphone, tablet) can be played back on the MIX 10 A G3 speaker (maximum distance between the two devices is approx. 10 metres). If no Bluetooth playback device is connected to the internal Bluetooth unit, the blue Bluetooth LED flashes every 5 seconds. During pairing, the LED flashes rhythmically at a frequency of approximately 3 Hz. If the Bluetooth LED lights up permanently, there is a Bluetooth connection and playback can be started. The volume is controlled via the volume control LINE INPUT/Bluetooth® (No 12), or on the playback device.
    To pair and connect the internal Bluetooth unit with a Bluetooth playback device, press and hold the HOLD TO LINK button for approximately 3 seconds until the Bluetooth LED flashes rhythmically (approx. 3 Hz). Enable Bluetooth on your playback device and search on the user interface for available devices. Select “LD MIX10AG3” and pair your Bluetooth playback device with the Bluetooth unit. Playback can now be started. To end the connection, press and hold the HOLD TO LINK button again for about 3 seconds. If Bluetooth® is deactivated in the paired device (e.g. Smartphone, tablet), after a short time, the Bluetooth LED will begin to flash every 5 seconds. If the maximum range between the paired device and Bluetooth unit is exceeded (approximately 10 m), the Bluetooth LED will flash at a frequency of about 3 Hz.

14. PRESETS
    Rotary control to select one of the 16 internal digital effects. All effects are listed to the right of the operating elements for the effects processor (DSP 24-bit digital effects).

15. DFX RET
    By using the effects return control, the effects signal can be mixed with the summed signal (MAIN signal).

16. MUTE
    The internal effects are muted by pressing the MUTE button. The PEAK LED indicator LED will light up continuously. Press the button again to unmute the effects and the PEAK LED will extinguish.

17. PEAK LED
    The PEAK LED lights up if the input of the internal effect is overloaded (reduce DFX effect send level on channels 1 to 3), or if the internal effects processor is muted (MUTE).

18. HIGH
    High-frequency equalizer (12 kHz) for the sum channel. Turn anti-clockwise to reduce and clockwise to increase high frequencies. The equalizer is inactive in the centre detent position.

19. MID
    Mid-frequency equalizer (2.5 kHz) for the sum channel. Turn anti-clockwise to reduce and clockwise to increase mid-frequencies. The equalizer is inactive in the centre detent position.

20. LOW
    Low-frequency equalizer (80 Hz) for the sum channel. Turn anti-clockwise to reduce and clockwise to increase bass frequencies.
    The equalizer is inactive in the centre detent position.

21. MAIN LEVEL
    Volume control for the sum channel (master volume). Turn anti-clockwise to reduce and clockwise to increase volume.

22. BAL
    Balance control for the sum channel. If the MIX 10 G3 passive speaker is used as a stereo extension, the balance slider adjusts the volume balance between the left and right summed signals (left = Internal speaker, right = external speaker).

23. STEREO/MONO
    If the MIX 10 G3 passive speaker is used as a stereo extension, select the STEREO switch position. If the sum channel is receiving a stereo signal, the speaker system can now be used as a fully-fledged stereo PA system. If an external speaker is not being used as a stereo exten-sion, select the MONO switch position. In this case, any stereo signal will be summed into mono.

24. SPEAKER OUT
    speakON-compatible speaker output for connecting the MIX 10 G3 passive speaker (minimum impedance 4 Ohms).

25. POWER LED
    The power LED lights up when the device is properly connected to the mains and switched on.

26. MAIN LEVEL METER
    2 x 4-segment level meter for the sum channel. If the red LED lights up, the device is being operated at its peak level. Momentary illumination due to level peaks is not critical, however permanent illumination should be avoided by reducing the volume.

27. MONITOR OUT
    Balanced line-out via 3-pin XLR jack. Connection option for an active speaker. The signal corresponds to the sum signal and is routed before the volume control of the sum channel (MAIN level) so it can be set independently.

28. MONITOR LEVEL
    Volume control for the monitor channel. Turn anti-clockwise to reduce and clockwise to increase volume.

29. SUB OUT
    Balanced line-out via 3-pin XLR jack. Connection option for an active subwoofer. The signal corresponds to the sum signal and is routed after the volume control of the sum channel (MAIN level) so it is dependent upon the main volume level.
