must set of the mixer as you normally would for the type of microphone being
used, I.E. 48PH power on, etc. Then you attach the boom pole remote control to
the boom pole with it's captive Velcro TM straps. The cable should exit the
remote control toward the heel end of the boom pole. Then simply plug the
remote control cable into the mixer's "remote" connector located near the
channel one input XLR. Set the remote controls slide fader to it's mid position
and adjust the mixer's channel one fader for normal recording levels. You are
now ready to remotely control the channel one input of your M4mkII Mixer.
Sliding the fader toward the heel end of the pole decreases signal level, sliding
the fader toward the microphone end of the pole increases signal level. This
remote control allows for approximately 40dB of control range. It should be
noted that using the boom pole remote control requires that the mixer channel
fader be set slightly higher than normal.
following safety warning:

CONTROL. INADVERTENT HIGHER THAN EXPECTED VOLUME LEVELS
MAY RESULT IF YOU DISCONTECT THE BOOM POLE REMOTE CONTROL
WITH THE CHANNEL FADER OPEN!

BALANCED OUTPUTS

The M4mkII Mixer contains very high quality custom-made audio output
transformers. These transformers have been designed to provide wide
bandwidth, low distortion and real-world ease of use. Transformers have been
chosen over a transformerless design because of their inherent ability to
interface with virtually any other device, especially RF based products. This is
very important in this day and age in consideration of the frequent use of multiple
RF receivers and transmitters. These outputs are available via the right hand
panel mounted male XLR connectors. These outputs are switchable between
line or microphone levels. At the line level setting, the mixer outputs deliver a
nominal 0dBv (1V) signal into 10K Ohm loads. When set to microphone level,
the outputs supply –50dBv signal levels. Please note that 10K Ohm loads are
typical of the loads imposed on the mixer by most Betacams, and other recording
devices. Additionally, the M4mkII Mixer's outputs are capable of driving 600-
Ohm loads.
B. MULTI-PIN (BETACAM) CONNECTOR
The M4mkII Mixer is equipped with a multi-pin in/out connector designed
primarily to interface with Betacams. This connector provides the left and right
balanced outputs as normally found on the XLR output connectors as well as left
and right tape returns used for confidence monitoring. This multi-pin connection
provides a convenient means of interfacing to Betacams with only one
connection. In addition, this connection is located on the left hand side (inputs
side) of the mixer. By locating the connector on this side of the mixer, all your
