LOW-CUT FILTERS Each channel of the MX410 features a switchable Low-Cut filter set at 100Hz. These Low-Cut filters (sometimes called "High Pass") cut frequencies below 100Hz signal and are effective for reducing wind noise. [. . . ] The AUX INPUT jack is provided for recording stereo sources such as CD players, MP3 and DVD players, etc. - Four balanced XLR Inputs - Two transformer-balanced XLR Outputs - Switchable Output Level ( Line level, or Mic level) - 1/8" TRS Stereo Auxiliary Input - Switchable Phantom Power for each input - Switchable 100 Hz Low Cut filters for each input - Dual 9V easy access Battery compartment - Level controls for each channel - 1/8" (3. 5mm) Headphone/Earphone Output with Level control - 18 hour battery life (with 2 condenser mics using phantom power and head phones attached, constant use). - Rolls PS27 external power supply included FEATURES QUICK START GUIDE For those familiar with ENG or field mixers, this guide highlights basic functionality to begin operating your MX410. OUTPUTS The MX410 is designed with two individual balanced male XLR output jacks. Each output is isolated providing excellent signal connectivity and noise performance. These outputs are generally connected to a recording device or other input looking for a line-level signal. In the event you need to connect the MX410 output to a mixer's Microphone Input, set the Output Level select switch to MIC level. This way the MX410 output is attenuated down, and will be more compatible with an input looking for a microphone level signal. POWERING To power the MX410 and get it ready for operation: 1. Or, connect external DC power (the Rolls PS27) 12 VDC to the MX410 DC Input connector. Press in the POWER button. INPUT CHANNEL SETUP To set up a gain level for an input channel: 1. If you're using a condenser microphone, activate the Phantom Power by depressing the phan switch. Set the LEVEL Control at the 12 O'clock position (again - just a starting point). Set the channel L C R switch for the desired signal position in the stereo field. Verify there is signal present on the output meter(s). INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL LEVEL CONTROLS The Level is the primary channel volume control. Level can be set to a nominal level (around 12 O'clock) providing the maximum amount of variance and headroom. L C R SWITCHES (Left - Center - Right) The Stereo orientation switches routes an input channels signal between the Left, Right and both outputs. Meter ballistics correspond closely to how the human ear perceives loudness and provides a good visual indication of how loud a signal will be. OUTPUT CONNECTION To connect to the MX410 main Outputs: 1. Set the output level switch to either LINE (switch in), or MIC (switch out). Verify that the next device in the signal chain is receiving signal from the MX410. HEADPHONE MONITORING 1. NOTE: THESE MUST BE STEREO HEADPHONES OR EARPHONES - USING MONO PHONES WILL DAMAGE THE MX410. [. . . ] Pin 2 AUX INPUT RIGHT MIC LINE 4 LEFT 3. 5mm POWER OFF - ON + - is configured "hot", pin 3 is neutral, and pin 1 is connected to chassis ground. OUTPUT LEVEL (MIC / LINE): When pressed in, outputs are at MIC level when out the outputs are at LINE level. AUX INPUT: 1/8" Tip-Ring-Sleeve jack for connection to an auxiliary line-level stereo signal such as the output of another mixer, AM/FM tuner, CD player, etc. INPUTS 1 - 4: Balanced XLR jacks for connection to dynamic or condenser microphones.
