NOMENCLATURE AND FUNCTIONS 3.3 Helpful Hints Electrical equipment operates best in a clean, dry, well-ventilated environment free of vibration and electromagnetic fields. The following are some guidelines to achieve optimal performance. Avoid placing the mixer and cables near heat sources. Be particularly aware of other audio equipment, such as amplifiers, which can produce a great deal of heat when operating.
INSTALLATION Note: Take the mixer out of the box and inspect for shipping damage. If there is obvious physical damage to the outside of the mixer, contact the supplier of the mixer before you begin installation. " Rack Mounting: To mount the CAM8PRO to a 19 rack, lift the unit up to the front of the rack and secure it to the front of the rack with the necessary screws (not included with this unit).

OPERATION The primary goal when establishing the gain settings of the mixers is to have each channel operating at the maximum gain without clipping, while leaving adequate headroom on the volume control knob. The channel Input Gain/Trim Control (1) on the rear panel of the mixers directly controls the microphone pre-amplifier gain available at each channel.
OPERATION 5.1 Troubleshooting Gain Structure If the procedure followed to this point does not give satisfactory results, follow the appropriate adjustment sequence below: If channel clipping occurs If the signal is clipping or producing audible distortion, the gain is too high. Reduce the Input Gain/Trim Control (rear panel) by turning it counterclockwise until clipping does not occur.
OPERATION 5.2 Recommended Input Wiring Methods These are the best ways to connect sources to the mixer. The mixer input is always balanced. From the drawings below choose the wiring method for your input device (either balanced or unbalanced). Balanced Source to Balanced Input - Method 1 (Normal) Shown below is the normal wiring method for a balanced source device.
OPERATION 5.3 Fine Tuning Low Cut Switch To remove excessive bass from an individual channel, press the Low Cut Switch (1) for that channel. This feature helps eliminate low frequency noise (signals of 100 Hz and below, such as background rumble from ventilation systems, etc.) and is used primarily with mic-level input.
OPERATION 5.4 Compressor/Limiter Low Cut Switch To remove excessive bass from an individual channel, press the Low Cut Switch (1) for that channel. MAIN THRESHOLD RATIO -18 -12 -6 +3 +6 +12 LIMIT The Compressor/Limiter (1) is a dynamic range controller that can be used to compensate for signals that may sound unnatural or cause audible distortion.
OPERATION 5.5 Special Features Activation The mixer has several built-in features which are easily activated by making adjustments inside the mixer chassis. Changing the selection of all built-in features requires only the correct placement of internal jumpers or varying the settings of an internal potentiometer. Note: All the internal components-jumpers and potentiometers-to which adjustments are needed for built-in features are highlighted within dashed areas in the drawing below.
OPERATION 5.6 Jumper Options Changing Jumper Settings To change a jumper setting, remove the ten screws secured to the top of the mixer. After removing the top of the mixer, locate the jumper to be changed by referring to the drawing on page 17. Jumpers are included from the factory in positions: JP1: 1-3, JP2: 2-4,JP3: 1-3, JP4: 1-3, 2-4..
6.TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS NO POWER Check the connections between the mixer and the power supply and the external AC power supply. Examine the 4-pin connector as shown on page 22. Check the wall outlet. NO SOUND Make sure the MIC/Line switch is in the proper position. (This is the most likely cause.) Make sure both the master and channel input controls are turned up.
