Installation And Connection - Alto LYNX-MIX USB SERIES User Manual

Ok, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operate
your L YNX-MIX USB series. However , we advise you to read the following section carefully
to be the real master of your own mix. Not paying enough attention to the input signal
level, the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal will result in unwanted
distortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all. So you should follow this procedure
for every single channel:
1. Turn down all Input and output gain controls.
2. Connect phantom powered microphones before switching on the +48 Volt phantom
power switch.
3. Set the output level of your L YNX-MIX USB mixer or the connected power amplifier
at no more than 75%.
4. Now, set the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES level at no more than 50%. In this way, you
will be able to hear later what you are doing connecting a pair of headphones or a pair
of powered studio monitor speakers.
5. Position EQ controls on middle position.
6. Position panoramic (PAN/BAL) control on center position.
7. With a pair of headphone or studio monitor speakers are connected, apply a Line Level
input signal so that the PEAK LED does not light up.
8. Increase the input gain properly for maintaining the good headroom and ideal dynamic
range.
9. Depending on the actual application, turn slowly the input and output level controls
for obtaining the maximum gain before distortion.
10. Now repeat the same sequence for all input channels. The main LED meter could
move up into the red section. In this case you can adjust the overall output level
through the main mix control.
