Connection Before connecting to amplifier or other equipment, turn down all volume controls to avoid loud noises which may cause damage to other equipment. Always switch amplifier power on last in line with volume levels down. Using good quality 6.3mm jack leads (balanced or unbalanced), connect L + R outputs from the mixer to the amplifier, recorder or whichever equipment is to receive the main mix output. If phantom power is to be used, press the “+48V” switch in.
Operation Each channel has a 3-band EQ (LOW/MID/HIGH), which can be used to balance the mix of frequencies and emphasise certain aural characteristics in the signal. Adjust these as required, noting that and overall increase may require an equivalent reduction of the GAIN control to compensate (otherwise clipping may occur from EQ boost). Use the PAN control to position the channel input either to the left or right side of the stereo field.
USB features For the CM-LIVE models, The USB and SD card connection is for the internal media player, which can offer playback of compressed digital audio files through the stereo channel. When a USB pen drive or SD card with such files on is connected via the rear panel, the player recognises this and automatically begins playback through the stereo channel. The player status is indicated by a small backlit LCD screen, as shown below… A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H.
