TC Electronic M350 User Manual

QUICK START – IF YOU JUST CAN’T WAIT
If you just can’t wait to hear the great
effects waiting for you in your new M350
Dual Effects processor, follow the few steps
in this quick setup guide:
• Unpack the M350 and check for possible
damages that could have been caused by
transport.
• Read the safety instructions.
• Take a few minutes to register online via:
www.tcelectronic.com or send in the
registration card. Customers registered
online will be notified directly via E-Mail
about new tips & tricks and manual updates.
Consider the M350 as two effects processors in
one box. We call these two processors
“engines”. The Delay/Effects engine creates
one of the following effects: Delay, Chorus,
Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, De-Ess or
Compression. The Reverb engine creates
Reverb.
These two Engines can be used separately or in
conjunction.
Connections & Routing:
The M350 has two routing options that require
two different ways of connecting.
The Routing mode is set on the M350 rear
panel and should correspond to your current
setup.
Serial Routing (switch in OUT
position)
– utilizing both effect Engines in serial.
Dual Input mode (switch in IN
position)
– ideal if you need to send signals from two
different aux sends on your mixer and return on
a stereo aux or two other channels.
For detailed explanations on Routings and
connections please read page 23.
• When all audio connections are made,
connect power.
• Set the M350 to Preset Off mode using the
PRESET ON/OFF key:
The M350 is in Preset Off mode when the
display reads as illustrated above.
• Set all controls in 12 o’clock position to
hear factory settings.
(For Dual Input mode set MIX to 100%.)
• Select an effect from the Delay/Effects
section.
• Select a reverb type from the Reverb section.
• Start playing music through the M350.
• Adjust input level to a level just below the
point where the two INPUT PPMs turn red.
• Set the desired mix between the dry and wet
signal of the entire M350 using the MIX
control.
• Set the desired balance between the
Delay/Effects engine and the Reverb engine
using the EFFECT BALANCE knob.
• Now tweak the controls for the two sections
until you have the intended effects.
• (When using the Dual Input mode always set
MIX to 100%)
