connector equipped cable. Push the cable connector into the output jack until it locks,
and to remove the connector press the release tab on the connector and pull out. For a
more detailed description on how OUTPUT CH A (#13) and CH B (#14) work see
OUTPUT SELECT SWITCH above.
MONITOR OUTPUT (#15)
Connect a stereo or mono headphone to the MONITOR output (#15). The output accepts
a standard 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-plug connector.
UNBALANCED OUTPUT (#16)
This output is stereo (dual-channel). It is recommended to use a stereo-to-stereo mini-
cable (not supplied) from the UNBALANCED OUTPUT (#16) to the mic or line input of
your video camera or audio recorder. The UNBALANCE OUTPUT (#16) is designed for
video cameras or audio recorders, which have mini-jack microphone or line inputs.
Because the FMX-2 has low-impedance XLR inputs and a mini-plug output, users of
mini DV cameras that have mini-plug microphone inputs can now use high-quality
microphones with XLR outputs. For a more detailed description on how the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT (#16) works see OUTPUT SELECT SWITCH above.
Thank you for purchasing the Azden FMX-2 field mixer. The FMX-2 has many unique
features, so please read this manual completely before using the mixer. Designed to
work with all microphones that have a low-impedance XLR output, the FMX-2 can be
connected to any video camera or audio recorder, which has XLR, or mini-jack mic/line
inputs.
LOADING THE BATTERY: Make sure the mixer is turned off. Remove the battery
cover (A) by turning the screw (B) counter- clockwise until it comes off. Place the battery
strap (located in the battery compartment) around a new 9-Volt ALKALINE battery and
insert it into the battery compartment. Be sure to follow the polarity diagram inside the
battery compartment. If the polarity is correct the battery should go in easily. Do not
force the battery into the compartment. If the battery does not go in easily turn it around
and try again. Replace the battery door (A) and turn the screw (B) clockwise until tight,
do not over tighten. A new 9-Volt ALKALINE battery should last for more than 6 hours.
MOUNTING OPTIONS:
1) Belt Clip (supplied): The belt clip (C) can be attached to the backside of the mixer in 3
different positions. To remove the belt clip use a Philips head screwdriver and turn the
screws (E) counterclockwise until they come off. To install the belt clip, select the desired
location and turn the screws clockwise until tight.
2) Velcro (supplied): Velcro can be attached to either side of the mixer and to any adjoining
flat surface (camera body, tripod, etc.) The Velcro strip with the soft surface should be
attached to the mixer and the Velcro strip with the rough surface should be attached to
the adjoining surface.
3) Strap (not supplied): A strap can be looped through the strap cutouts (D) on the sides
of the mixer.
CONTROLS and INPUTS/OUTPUTS
# 1 through 16
POWER SWITCH (#1) and POWER LED (#2):
Turn "ON" the POWER switch (#1) by pressing the white dot.
The POWER LED (#2) will turn Green. When the battery voltage level is low the POWER
LED (#2) will turn to Red. When the POWER LED (#2) turns to Red replace the battery
with a new 9-Volt ALKALINE battery (See LOADING THE BATTERY above). When not
in use turn the mixer "OFF" to conserve battery life.
INPUT LEVEL CONTROLS for Channel 1 (#3) and Channel 2 (#4):
CH1 (#3): Controls the input level (volume) of the microphone connected to Input CH 1
(#11). Zero is the lowest (quietest) setting, 10 is the highest (loudest).
CH2 (#4): Controls the input level (volume) of the microphone connected to Input CH 2
(#12). Zero is the lowest (quietest) setting, 10 is the highest (loudest).
PEAK LED INDICATORS (#5)
For the best sound increase the INPUT LEVEL of CH1 (#3) and/or CH2 (#4) so that the
corresponding PEAK LED indicator (#5) flashes RED occasionally during the loudest
parts of what you are recording. If the indicator does not light it means that the input
