Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Thank you for choosing the A.V.E. analogue/digital 4-channel mixer MX-4 with four microphone/line inputs; an outstanding unit that was designed particularly for superior audio quality in churches. Each microphone/line input is equipped with a compressor/limiter, 3-band equalizer, as well as indicators for volume, operating status, and peak, respectively. -
Page 4: Description Of Front And Rear Panel
Description of front and rear panel 1. Volume control (for channels 1 – 4): Allows adjustment of the level of the signal sources connected to the microphone/line inputs (26.). During installation by the technician, the optimal level will be marked on the unit. 2. -

Power connector: Connector for power cord to a 230 V / 50 Hz AC voltage source. Fuse: 315 mA Main on/off switch Output: Output connectors (to power amplifiers, etc.) Direct OUT: Direct output without any signal processing. This output can be used for capturing and transmitting the ambiance of e.g. -

name (in this case „Sonntag“) as well as the value of the master volume in percent (total output volume, here 70%). The bar above the preset name is an analogue representation of the master volume. On the right-hand side of the display the four little squares represent the 4 outputs (the numbers 1 through 4 are written above and below the display). -

Turning the preset knob one click to the right will always bring you to the next item of a menu, i. e. to the next parameter to be programmed. This knob is therefore also marked „parameter“. For simplicity, we will continue to name this knob the preset knob. ... -

Param EQ 1 Q: Set the Q-factor for the 1 band (range: 0.2 to 100; logarithmic increments 0.2, 0.22, 0.25, 0.28, 0.32, etc.). The high Q-factors enable extremely narrow-band notch-filters for ideal feedback elimination. Param EQ 2-4 Freq: Proceed as described above for bands 2, 3, and 4. ... -

The following image shows the second group of jumpers: 6 jumpers for each of the four channels. (The numbers 1 through 6 denote the six potentiometers for each channel. Their functions will be described in section 4.3.3) THD: low noise threshold, on/off. A noise gate, determining the response sensitivity of the microphones, can be either enabled or disabled here. -
