Eight Steps to Setting Correct Input Levels (continued)
A Brief Guided Tour of Your New Mixer
/
Plug a micro-
phone or other
audio source
into the fi rst
channel’s rear
panel
MIC IN
socket.
1
Turn ON the mixer’s rear pan-
el
POWER switch. Then turn
on and your monitors or their
power amp.
4
Sing into the mic or play an
instrument at the volume the
musician or presenter will be
using during a performance.
2
Press Channel ’s PFL button.
The red LED just above the
button should light up.
(
While watching the Main Level Display
at the right of the mixer, turn Channel
’s
GAIN knob clockwise until the fi rst
six LEDs on the Level Display (5 green,
1 orange) light up regularly.
It’s OK if the next LED above
0 fl ickers
occasionally…but not very often.
Your MW-68 or MW-8 is now ready
to mix at its best settings with maximum
headroom and lowest noise. Take our word
for it: These steps were worth it!
Now we will present to you some of the
stuff you probably expected to be fi rst:
• Trying to set levels by saying “Testing 1, 2, 3” into the mic doesn’t
really work. Instead, sing some vocals or play an instrument at a
realistic level. Hit a cymbal, tom or kick drum as hard as the drummer
will during the performance; jam on that guitar; honk that sax;
make sure keyboard output level is set at normal output.
