9 or 10 o’clock should be safe. Send audio into the system; this could be
a band playing live or audio from a tape deck or other multi-track audio
device. Raise the levels to a comfortable level after you have audio playing
through the system.
The process of creating a monitor mix using the Personal Monitor Mixing
System is similar to the process used to create a front of house mix. The
Personal Mixer interface makes it easy to jump right in and create your first
mix within minutes of connecting the system for the first time.
Mixing involves setting pan, volume, and mute status for each Channel, and
then saving this setup as a Preset so that you can recall your custom mix
later.
The user interface is quite simple to understand. As with many digital mix-
ers, the Personal Mixer has many Channels, but only one set of controls that
are shared by all the Channels. A Channel is selected by pressing one of the
numbered Channel buttons on the Mixer’s front surface. When a Channel
is selected, the red LED in the Channel’s button will light to indicate that it
has been selected and is ready to be edited.
The procedure to edit a Channel involves only two steps:
• Select the Channel you want to change.
• Edit the volume, panning, or mute status
That’s it. Each Channel of the mixer can be edited by following the same
simple steps.
The Editing Interface
When you turn the V
OLUME
knob clockwise to raise the volume of the
selected Channel, the volume level is reflected in the Volume LED indica-
tors. There are twenty-four visible volume steps available in the Volume
LEDs. Each LED lights at two levels, first at half brightness, then at full
brightness. More LEDs lit indicates higher volume.
The pan position for a Channel can be changed with the P
AN
knob. Turn it
left or right to move the audio in the stereo field. Your changes will be re-
flected in the Pan LEDs. The Pan LEDs are used to indicate the left-center-
right location of the selected Channel. The Pan LEDs have a green middle
LED to indicate the center position in the stereo field with red LEDs on the
sides to indicate left or right positions. Changes will be heard immediately
in any speakers or headphones connected to your Personal Mixer.
