Page 4: Introduction
MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL INTRODUCTION The MX30 is a dual channel gate and compressor-limiter designed to fulfil the needs of professional studio and live sound applications. It may be used in balanced systems at +4dBu operating levels, or unbalanced at -10dBu. In order to maximise flexibility while simplifying set up and operation, several new design concepts have been incorporated. -
Page 5: Installation
MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL INSTALLATION The MX30 is designed for standard 19" rack mounting and occupies 1U of rack space. Avoid mounting the unit directly above power amplifiers or power supplies that radiate significant amounts of heat. Fibre or plastic washers may be used to prevent the front panel becoming marked by the mounting bolts. - Page 6 MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL AUDIO CONNECTION DIAGRAM...

Page 7: Power Connection
MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL POWER CONNECTION If, for some reason, the unit is to be operated at a mains input voltage which is different to that as supplied, the following procedure must be carried out by a qualified technical engineer. Disconnect the unit from the mains. Using a number 1 size pozidrive screwdriver, remove the seven self-tapping screws that retain the top cover. -
Page 8: Control Descriptions
MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL CONTROL DESCRIPTION Both channels of the MX30 are identical and may be used completely independently or linked for stereo operation. In the linked mode, only the left-hand channel controls are functional and serve as master controls, though the channel bypass switches remain independent. -
Page 9: Compressor
MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL COM PRESSOR Threshold: This control determines the input level above which gain reduction will be applied and may be set in the range -40 to +20dB. Soft knee compression takes place for signals exceeding the threshold level by up to 10dB above which level, conventional 'ratio' compression is applied. -
Page 10: Limiter
MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL PEAK LIM ITER Level: Sets an absolute limit to the level that the output signal will not be permitted to exceed. This limiter is very fast acting enabling it to control any peaks without audible distortion. If the output signal is so high as to cause the limiter to operate for more than 20mS, the system gain is automatically reduced to bring the signal back within range. -
Page 11: Operation
MX30 OPERATORS’ MANUAL OPERATION The unit should be connected in line with the signal to be processed via suitable insert points. Ensure that the insert send and return level on your console matches the MX30 input/output sockets that are being used. For single channel use, each channel may be considered as completely independent and set up accordingly. -
