The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE : NEUTRAL BROWN : LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured makings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug. * This applies only to products distributed by Yamaha-Kemble Music (U. K. ) Ltd. [. . . ] These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out; ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). NOTE 9 0 0 0 Patching external devices via an INSERT jack requires a special insert cable such as illustrated below (insert cable sold separately). To the input jack of the external processor A B C A B C A B C To the INSERT I/O jack Sleeve (Ground) Ring: IN Tip: OUT Tip: OUT Tip: IN MW8CX To the output jack of the external processor The signal output from the INSERT jacks is reverse-phased. This should not be a problem when connecting to an effect unit, but please be aware of the possiblility of phase conflict when connecting to other types of device. A reversedphased signal may result in degraded sound quality or even complete sound cancellation. CAUTION 16 MW8CX/MW10C Owner's Manual Reference Front & Rear Panels 6 GAIN Control Adjusts the input signal level. To achieve the best balance between S/N ratio and dynamic range, adjust the level so that the PEAK indicator 9 lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients. The -34 to +10 scale is the LINE input adjustment range. B PAN Control (CHs 1, 2) PAN/BAL Control (CHs 3/4, 5/6) BAL Control (CH 7/8 (CHs 7/8, 9/10) The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the channel signal on the Stereo L and R buses. The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the L input (odd channel) go to the Stereo L bus; signals input to the R input (even channel) go to the Stereo R bus. NOTE 7 Switch (High Pass Filter) This switch toggles the HPF on or off. The HPF cuts frequencies below 80 Hz (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereo input channels 34). 8 COMP Control Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel. As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level is boosted. NOTE On channels where this knob provides both PAN and BAL control (channels 3/4 and 5/6), the knob operates as a PAN control when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO) input only, and as a BAL control when input is received via both L and R inputs. C LEVEL Control Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these knobs to adjust the balance between the various channels. NOTE Set the controls for unused channels all the way down to minimize noise. Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher average output level that results may lead to feedback. 9 PEAK Indicator The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB below clipping. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels (3/ 4 and 5/6), both the post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak levels are detected, and the indicator lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB below clipping. 0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW) This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high, mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the position produces a flat response in the corresponding band. Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band. The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands. Band HIGH MID LOW Type Shelving Peaking Shelving Frequency 10 kHz 2. 5 kHz 100 Hz ±15 dB Maximum Cut/Boost A EFFECT (AUX) Control Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the EFFECT (AUX) bus. Note that the signal level sent to the bus is also affected by the LEVEL control C. On stereo channels (CHs 3/4 to 7/8 (CHs 3/4 to 9/10)) the signals from the L (odd) and R (even) channels are mixed and then sent to the EFFECT (AUX) bus. MW8CX/MW10C Owner's Manual 17 Reference Front & Rear Panels Master Control Section 3 RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks 1 2 These are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs. These jacks are typically used to receive the signal returned from an external effect device (reverb, delay, etc. ). NOTE 3 5 6 These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereo input. If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the mixer will recognize the signal as monaural and will send the identical signal to both the L and R jacks. 4 SEND EFFECT (AUX) Jack This is an impedance balanced* TRS phone jack that outputs the signal from the EFFECT (AUX) bus. You can use this jack, for example, to connect to an external effect unit. 4 7 5 STEREO OUT (L, R) Jacks These are impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks that output the signals adjusted by the STEREO Master control E. You can use these jacks, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving your main speakers. 6 MONITOR (L, R) Jacks 0 8 A These are impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks that output the signals adjusted by the MONITOR/PHONES control C.
