7
(2.2) Setup Scenario
1. Study the (2.1) Connection Diagram section for ideas to plan your setup.
2. Make sure all devices are turned off.
3. Set all TrueMix 500 Gain knobs to 0 dB, Channel Volume knobs to -∞, Hi and
Low EQ knobs to the 12 o’clock position, and Main Out Volume knob to -∞.
4. Connect all input sources, such as microphones, keyboard, electric guitar, or a
smartphone to the appropriate XLR, 1/4" (6.35 mm), or RCA inputs.
Note: To avoid RF interference from being picked up, place your smartphone
away from speakers.
5. Connect TrueMix 500’s Main Out Volume to your speakers using 1/4" (6.35 mm)
cables.
6. Connect all devices to power outlets.
7. Switch everything on in the following order:
• Audio input sources
• TrueMix 500
• Last, any speakers or headphones
8. Test the mic at the loudest level it is expected to be used and begin turning up
the Gain knob until you see the channel Peak LED flash red. This means the Gain
knob is set too high. Turn down the Gain knob until you no longer see the LED
flash red. Repeat this process for other channels you are using.
9. Send TrueMix 500’s channels to the Main Outs by turning up the Channel
Volume knobs.
10. Turn up the Main Out Volume knob until the volume compliments the venue.
You’ll want to get the Main Output Level LED Meter as close to the top LED
without it clipping.
11. When turning off equipment, follow this order:
• Speakers or headphones
• TrueMix 500
• Last, any audio input devices
Tips:
• If the sound is too boomy, decrease the low EQ frequencies.
• For more clarity, boost the high EQ frequencies.
• Never point microphones and speakers at each other.
• Mute unused channels when they’re not in use.
• Use board tape to label channels.
• Always have backup cables.
