INTRODUCTION ① POWER Indicator When the POWER switch ⑯ is ON, the LED will turn GREEN. When the battery voltage level becomes too low for proper operation, the LED will turn RED. When this happens, replace the batteries with fresh "AA" alkaline batteries.
FRONT CONTROL PANEL When the LINE OUT is selected, while keeping the MASTER control ④ at its midpoint, increase or decrease each channel's LEVEL control ② until the L and/or R VU Meter peaks at 0 dB. If the LEVEL is set too low, sound may be accompanied by background noise. If the LEVEL is set too high, the sound may be distorted. Monitor the sound with headphones and adjust the LEVEL for the best sound. An OUTPUT PEAK Indicator LED ⑨ will light RED if your overall levels are set too high. When the CAMERA RTN is selected, adjust the volume level by the RTN LEVEL switch ㉘ .The VU Meters are set to reflect the selection by the Monitor SELECT Switch ㉒ by the factory. However, if you would prefer, you may change the setting to always show the output volume level of LINE OUT regardless of the Monitor SELECT switch ㉒ setting. Remove the bottom plate by removing the 2 screws on each side and 3 screws on the bottom. Locate the SW2 switch on the circuit board and change the setting from "MONI" to "LINE". The center position is to disconnect the VU Meters altogether. ⑨ OUTPUT PEAK Indicators These indicators monitor the LINE OUT outputs. When the overall levels are set too high, the LEDs will light RED. Adjust the INPUT LEVEL controls ② and/or the MASTER level control ④ accordingly. ⑩ SLATE MIC Press and hold this button to engage the SLATE MIC. The SLATE MIC is used to pick up audio at the mixer's location and is not intended for serious audio recording. It is however, very useful for notating scenes or other on-location documentation. ⑪ 1 kHz TONE Press and hold this button to generate the 1 kHz tone. This output tone is used to set the recording levels of your video camera or audio recorder to their optimum level. While generating the 1 kHz tone, set the recording levels of your video camera or audio recorder to the specified level as recommended by the manufacturers. The signal is generated at +4 dBu.

To SELECT either LINE OUT ⑰&⑱ output signals or CAMERA (RTN)㉖input signals for the monitor PHONES output㉑. ㉓LEVEL Volume Control Controls the volume level of the monitor PHONES output㉑ . Zero is the lowest (quietest) setting and 10 is the highest (loudest). ㉔R ILLUM(ination) Switch Turn this switch ON to light up the VU Meters⑧. ㉕IN Connector For external powering of the mixer, connect a 12V AC adapter with a 4-pin Hirose connector to this input. This AC adapter is available for purchase separately. Contact Azden or an Azden dealer for details. Maximum rating of the power supply must not exceed 12 volts DC, 350mA. *Required connecting plug: Hirose HR10A-7P-4P ㉖CAMERA(RTN) Input/Output Connector (FMX-42a only) This Hirose 10-pin connector allows you to connect your video camera to the mixer and send LINE OUT output signals and receive RETURN input signals simultaneously. It will require the Hirose 10-pin plug (part #RM15TD-10P). Using this connector will not cancel out the OUTPUT L & R ⑰&⑱. The LINE OUT out MIC output) by the LEVEL selector ⑳ . AUX OUTPUT Additionally, it is possible to utilize the CAMERA(RTN)㉖as an auxiliary stereo output for recording to a second camera or external audio recorder. To use the CAMERA(RTN)in this way, a cable with a Hirose 10-pin male connector to dual, 3-pin XLR male connectors must be used (sold separately).* *When using the 10-pin camera return as an aux output and the XLR outputs (L&R⑰&⑱) simultaneously, it is recommended with high input impedance (>15kΩ) be used. External recorders / cameras w impedance may not assure optimal ...
