Introduction.1 - Yamaha MC2410M Operating Manual

INTRODUCTION
The Yamaha MC2410M/MC3210M Mixing Consoles are ver¬
satile, portable, and reliable. They are designed to provide
flexible, efficient stage monitoring for performing musi¬
cians. The ability to be able to hear his own performance
blended with an individually balanced mix of his fellow
musicians gives a performer the opportunity to concentrate
on his art totally, and these units are created to give exactly
this capability, with their fully professional compatibility,
uncompromising electronic performance, and highly versa¬
tile control capabilities.
The mixing console you now own offers ten different moni¬
tor mixes, via ten busses controlled by compact rotary con¬
trols. Two auxiliary channels may be used for a variety of
purposes - patching in echo or signal processing units,
feeding a tape deck in order to record a show, two addi¬
tional outputs, or providing monitor mixes for the operator,
stage manager, etc.
Insert patch points on all input channels and output busses
means that you can, for example, compress an individual
vocalist, or use a graphic EQ on each mix, to get maximum
levels without feedback. Judicious equalizing with the four
band EQ and high-pass filter will also greatly assist in elimi¬
nating unwanted noise, harmonics, wind noise, or micro¬
phone popping.
The following text contains many similar comments in ref¬
erence to each feature, but we encourage you to use your
own creativity to it's fullest, in discovering new ways of
using your console. Most of the features on Yamaha
MC2410M/MC3210M mixing consoles are designed to be
multi-purpose, and this console can function as the center
of an almost unlimited number of system configurations, to
fulfill your specific needs. You may well find, after using
your MC2410M/MC3210M mixing console for a while, that
there is a simpler, more economical way of connecting the
unit into your system. This would certainly save time, for
example, if you are on a hectic touring schedule.
And, if needed, your MC2410M/MC3210M can be more than
just a mixing console. This unit can function efficiently in
many different mixing situations. No matter how experi¬
enced you are, your new MC2410M/MC3210M mixing con¬
sole gives you the opportunity to take mixing techniques a
significant step further - to where mixing is transformed
from a skilled craft - to a creative art.
