Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] There are numerous reasons, of course, but one important factor is the judicious use of compression. One form of compression known as "limiting" can, when properly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with no excessive peaks or distortion. Compression can also be used within a mix to make a voice or instrument seem to come forward, or simply to even out level differences. Compression can be used to make a mix seem bigger and louder by producing a more "saturated" sound. Professional compressors have numerous parameters that need to be carefully adjusted: attack, release, threshold, level, and sometimes more. A professional sound engineer might need to spend a considerable amount of time, based on a considerable amount of experience, to set each of these parameters to achieve the desired sound. OUTPUT (Min) (Max) INPUT The EMX compressor makes achieving great sound much easier. All you need to do is set a single "compression" control and all of the pertinent parameters are automatically adjusted for you. The engineers who designed this fine compressor paid careful attention to achieving the best sound quality possible so that you can quickly achieve pro-quality compression without having to worry about a confusing multitude of settings. A common example of the use of compression is to "tame" a vocal that has a wide dynamic range in order to tighten up the mix. With the right amount of compression you'll be able to clearly hear whispered passages while passionate shouts are still well balanced in the mix. Compression can also be valuable on bass guitar, producing a smooth bass sound that stays solid through the tune. Compression can also be applied to guitar tracks to add extra sustain. Too much compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it sparingly. Music First--Then Mix In any case, the music comes first. Think about the music and let it guide the mix, rather than trying to do things the other way around. What is the music saying and what instrument or technique is being used to drive the message?You're using a high-tech tool to do the mixing, but the mix itself is as much art as the music. Approach it that way and your mixes will become a vital part of the music. 18 EMX5016CF Owner's Manual Reference Reference Front & Rear Panels Controls on Each Channel Channels 1 to 8 (Monaural) Channels 9/10 to 15/16 (Stereo) 1 INPUT A and INPUT B Jacks (Channels 1 to 8) You can connect an input source to either jack. Be sure to set the [26 dB] switch 4 to match the type of device you are connecting. INPUT A: A balanced XLR-type microphone input jack (1:Ground; 2:Hot; 3:Cold). If you are connecting a condenser microphone, be sure to turn the PHANTOM switch c to its ON position. Cold (­) 1 2 Ground Hot (+) INPUT B: A TRS phone-type balanced line input jack (T: hot, R: cold, S: ground). Accepts both balanced and unbalanced line input. R: Cold (­) S: Ground T: Hot (+) CAUTION When using phantom power, do not connect any devices other than condenser microphones to the XLR input jacks. This precaution does not apply to balanced dynamic microphones, however, as these will not be affected by phantom power. On any given channel, you may use either INPUT A or INPUT B, but not both.
