Configuration And Setup; Using The Remote Control - Russound MIXAMP-60 Manual

CONFIGURATION AND SETUP

Configuration and Setup
• When all connections to the amplifier are made, turn all
rotary controls down and switch on the power and the
power "ON" LED will illuminate. Turn BASS and TREBLE
controls to the 12 o'clock position (pointing straight up)
and turn MASTER rotary control up part way for testing.
• Ensure a signal is being fed to one of the line inputs 1,
2, 3, 4 or 5 and gradually increase the volume control
for that channel until the output is heard through the
speakers. Turn up the MASTER to the maximum required
volume level and reduce the channel volume control if
necessary.
• Note: The initial test can be made using the built-in
USB/SD/FM audio player. The output of the amplifier is
represented on the level meter LEDs and care should be
taken that the Red "0" LED is only lit momentarily during
use. Anything longer than a short flash of this LED may
be indicating distortion or clipping of the output signal
and the MASTER should be turned down.
• If a microphone is connected to MIC1 input, make sure
it is switched on and if it requires phantom power, make
sure this feature is enabled. Gradually increase its volume
control while speaking into the microphone until the
required volume level is reached. The microphone should
not be able to "hear" the speakers, which can cause
feedback (squealing or howling noise).
• If the ducking feature is enabled, audio playback through
channels 2-5 will be reduced in volume automatically
when speaking into MIC 1, use its rear panel attenuator
to increase or decrease the ducking mute level.
• In addition to channel and MASTER volume controls,
there are BASS and TREBLE EQ controls to adjust the
tone of the overall output. At the 12 o'clock position,
these controls are neutral to the signal (no boost or
cut). Moving the BASS control clockwise boosts the
low frequencies in the audio, while moving it counter-
clockwise will cut these low frequencies. Likewise,
moving the TREBLE control clockwise boosts the high
frequencies in the audio, while moving it counter-
clockwise will cut these high frequencies. Adjust
these EQ controls to suit the type of audio signal or
compensate for the room acoustics.

Using the Front Panel Media Player Controls
• Mode – Use this button to toggle among Bluetooth, USB/
SD, and the built-in FM Tuner
• Volume Control – Press and hold the "Prev/V-" button
to decrease the media player module's volume and press
and hold "Next/V+" to increase the media player module's
volume (Max=30). For most applications we recommend
setting the volume to the maximum level and leaving it at
that setting. The exception to this is when you would like to
use the included remote control to adjust the volume of the
media player module remotely.

Using the Remote Control

The included remote control can be used for controlling the
front panel media player. The remote control can adjust
the volume levels of any media player source but can NOT
adjust the overall amplifier master volume settings or adjust
any sources other than those available on the built-in media
player: Bluetooth, USB/SD, and FM Tuner.
• Power – Toggles the front panel media player On/Off
• Mode - Use this button to toggle among Bluetooth, USB/
SD, and the built-in FM Tuner
• EQ - Toggles among the preset EQ settings: Normal,
Rock, Pop, Classical, Jazz, Country. The current setting
appears at the top of the display
• Mute - Toggles the volume mute On/Off. The current mute
state will be visible in the top left of the built-in display.
• Vol-/Vol+ - Adjusts the volume level of the built-in media
player. Using the remote control allows precise volume
adjustments from levels 0 to 30. Pressing and holding a
volume button will ramp the volume faster.
Bluetooth
Press the Mode button until seeing "BT" appear on the
display.
If no phone/tablet is currently connected, the message "BT
Not Link" will appear. To pair a device, go to your device's
Bluetooth settings and select "Pair a New Device" or similar
to search for available devices. The Russound MixAmp-60
uses the default Bluetooth name of ULISSE. Select this from
your phone/tablet and complete the pairing process.
Your phone/tablet is now ready to send its audio output to
the MixAmp-60. Play any audio content on your phone/
tablet and it will play on the MixAmp-60.
For Bluetooth operation, you can use your phone/tablet's
volume control to adjust the volume levels. There will
be three volume controls in operation that can each be
adjusted: your phone/tablet volume, the MixAmp-60 media
