Operating Manual -MX-206 Stereo Microphone Mixer

6. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:

6.1 Small Sound
Reinforcement System:
In the setup shown here, the MX-206 is used to
mix typical sound sources that might be found in a small
club, meeting room, school theater or similar environment.
Six input channels are used for microphones for vocal or
instrumental pickup. The Stereo Line In (from front or back
panel input jack) and Out provide feeds to and from a laptop
or other recording/playback device for playback of recorded
material, or for making a recording of the mix. The main PA
power amplifiers (or any additional equalizers or electronic
crossovers which may be used) are fed from the Stereo Output
connectors, while a stage or control room monitor is fed from
the Mono Output.
6.2 Location Recording or Broadcast Mixing:
In this setup the MX-206 is used to mix sources
typically found in location recording or broadcast situations
(mostly microphones). In this case, all six inputs are micro-
phones, as would be used in a roundtable panel discussion. The
Stereo Line In receives the output of a laptop, CD player, or
other personal audio device, and the Stereo Line Out provides
a feed to a recording device for making a recording of the mix.
For live remote broadcast applications, the transformer-isolated
Mono Output connector can feed a suitable video, telephone
or press-box interface.
6.3 Submixer In Larger Sound System:
In this application the MX-206 is used to upgrade an
existing sound system by providing a vocal or instrumental sub-
mix to the main mixer without tying up a number of channels
on the main console. This technique allows the system input
capacity to be expanded without installing more buried mic
cables and without changing a mixing console that everyone
is already comfortable with. Use the Headphones Output to
achieve a "pre-mix" before adjusting the main console.
