2
Connect the supplied AC power adaptor.
1Connect the power adaptor with the gap of the plug facing up, aligning it to the
[AC ADAPTOR IN] connector. 2Turn the fastening ring clockwise to secure the
connection.

3
Make sure that all switches on the unit are not engaged (pressed in).
4
Turn all the level control knobs fully to the left (minimum). These include the
[GAIN] knobs (white), [LEVEL] knobs (white), and [STEREO LEVEL] knob (red).

If you connect a device with high output level, such as a CD player or an elec-
tric keyboard, to one of the channels 1 to 4, turn on (O) the [PAD] switch of the
corresponding channel*.

NOTE
If you are using condenser microphones, turn on (O) the [PHANTOM +48V] switch.

Turn on the power to the connected devices in the following order:
(microphone),
(instrument),

NOTE
If the sound is not heard or the sound is distorted, follow the instructions in the boxed section below
step 13.
13
Set the [LEVEL] knobs as necessary to adjust the volume balance between the
corresponding channels.
This completes the STEP 2 instructions.
] position
NOTE
The volume can be adjusted by using three functions; [PAD], [GAIN], and [LEVEL]. Once you set
the [PAD] switch and the [GAIN] knob, avoid adjusting those controls as much as possible. Instead
normally use the [LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume. For details about each function, see the "Con-
trols and Functions" section.
If there is no sound:
• Are the [PAD] switches turned on (O)? Turn the switches off (N).
• Are the [GAIN] knobs raised enough?
• Raise the volume of the connected instruments or audio devices.
If the sound is distorted:
• Are the [PAD] switches turned off (N)? Turn the switches on (O).
• Are the [GAIN] knobs raised too high? Turn the knobs to the left to lower the volume.
• Lower the volume of the connected instruments or audio devices.

Applying Effects

The MG10XU features high-quality built-in signal processing effects that are in the same
league as our famed SPX effect processor series. Applying effects (as described below)
allows you to simulate the acoustics of different performance environments.
