ACCESSORIES
Checking Package Contents
Check that the carton contains the following items:
(1) M.212 Mixer
(2) AC adaptor
(3) User's Manual
CONTROL OVERVIEW TOP PANEL
1. Channel Gain - Adjusts the pre-fader volume for cleaner sound. Reduce the channel gain if you notice the level indicators flashing red.
2. Mic Input Gain - Adjusts microphone input level.
3. Mic EQ - The mic channel includes a two-band EQ with a range of +10dB to -10dB.
4. Channel EQ - Adjusts the high, mid and low frequency levels of the input channels for either making the treble or bass louder or to be used as an effect.
5. Input Fader - Controls individual source levels (channels) in the mix.
6. Crossfader Curve - The CUT setting allows the use of the crossfader for quick cut in and out when scratching and mixing. The FADE setting is used for longer segues, typically when mixing between two beat-matched sources.
7. Crossfader - Used to mix the sound from both channels.
8. Mic Input - Insert your ¼” microphone plug here.
9. Headphone Input - Insert your ¼” headphone plugs here.
10. Fader Start On/Off Switch - When the unit has been connected to a CD player using a control cable, this becomes the On/Off switch to automatically start and stop the CD player while using the crossfader.
11. Level Indicators - The dual LED indicators are used to indicate the master output level of the Right and Left channels.
12. Channel Cue / Cue Pan - Used to preview channel audio to your headphones. Listen here before bringing up channel faders or moving the crossfader.
13. Headphone Level - Adjusts cue volume.
14. Master Level - Controls the overall output level.
15. Input Toggle Switch - Selects which source will be active based on what you have connected to the rear panel input section (phono/line).
CONTROL OVERVIEW REAR PANEL
16. Power Switch - Turns unit off and on.
17. Power Connector - Plug in the included power supply here.
18. Fader Start Control Jacks - Connect these jacks to the Fader input jacks of the CD player using the 3.5mm stereo mini cord.
19. Master Output - Unbalanced RCA connectors controlled by the Master level.
20. Line Inputs - Unbalanced RCA jacks for connecting stereo audio from line level sources such as CD players, HiFi VCRs, cassette decks, DAT machines, laser discs, tuners, even synthesizers or other mixing consoles.
Note: Plug mono audio sources into both Left and Right inputs using a "Y" cable connector.
21. Phono Inputs - Plug your turntables in here. When these connectors are used, your signal is fed directly to the high-quality
RIAA phono pre-amplifiers. Use this position only for turntables. Line level sources will overload the sensitive phono preamps and will cause distortion.
22. GND - Connect each of your turntable ground leads to either of the two ground terminals .
QUICK SETUP DIAGRAM
Review this setup diagram. Make sure all faders are at "zero" and all devices are off. First, connect all input sources and processors. Next, connect your microphone and monitor headphones. Finally, connect the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio receivers such as tape decks. Plug your mixer into AC power. Now you are ready to switch everything on.
IMPORTANT: Always switch on your audio input sources , such as turntables or CD players first, then your mixer, and finally any amplifiers. When turning off, always reverse this operation by turning off amplifiers, then your mixer, and then input devices.
