SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

CAUTION - MAINS FUSE

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE REPLACE THE MAINS FUSE ONLY WITH THE

SAME TYPE, WHICH MUST BE A CLASS 3, 230 VOLT, TIME DELAY TYPE,

RATED AT 63mA WHERE THE MAINS INPUT VOLTAGE SWITCH IS SET TO

230 VOLTS AC. AND 120mA WHERE THE MAINS INPUT VOLTAGE IS 115

VOLTS AC. ALL FUSES MUST COMPLY WITH BS EN 60127-2:1991, SHEET III.

THE FUSE BODY SIZE IS 20mm x 5mm.

CAUTION - MAINS CABLE

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE OR TAMPER WITH THE SUPPLIED MAINS

CABLE.

CAUTION - SERVICING

DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING. REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT EXPOSE

THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

INTRODUCTION

The MX50 is a highly flexible but compact dual De-Esser designed to fulfil the

needs of professional studio, theatre and live sound applications. It may be used in

balanced systems at +4dBu operating levels using the XLR connectors, or

unbalanced at -10dBu using the TRS stereo jacks.

The human voice is one of the most diverse signals ever encountered by engineers

Drawmer - MX50 Manual 2 of 6 http://www.drawmer.com/opmx50.htm because it contains large variations in signal level and tonal structure. Level variations usually require the services of a compressor, which when properly set, keeps the signal levels within a manageable range. Equalisation is also applied to the signal before or after compression, to compensate for individual styles of voice and also help to add prominence to the signal.

GROUND LOOPS If ground loop problems are encountered, never disconnect the mains earth, but instead, try disconnecting the signal screen on one end of each of the cables connecting the outputs of the MX50 to the patchbay. If such measures are necessary, balanced (XLR) operation is recommended.

Drawmer - MX50 Manual 4 of 6 http://www.drawmer.com/opmx50.htm Fit two links in the positions K2 and K3. 5a Exchange the 125mA fuse for a similar type rated at 63mA. For conversion to 230Volt AC (previously set to 115Volt AC) 4b: De-solder and remove the two links marked K2 and K3. Fit a single link in the position K1. 5b Exchange the 63mA fuse for a similar type rated at 125mA.In both cases: 6: Replace the power supply using the four screws. 7: Ensure the jumper connector (P2) is correctly aligned.

BYPASS The Bypass position routes the input signal to the output with no processing. These switches are independent of any linking and will only bypass their respective channel. Link Depressing this switch configures the unit in stereo mode where the average left/right signal level is used as the floating threshold.

For the most transparent processing and general purpose use, we suggest split band as the first choice, together with AIR. CONTENTS LINKED OPERATION User convenience usually dictates that stereo operation is via Channel 1, so that only one set of controls have to be adjusted. This is particularly true of compressors, where image shifting is to be avoided.
