JK Audio BlueKeeper - Manual (Page 11)

Studio Mix-Minus Setup
Following the instructions in the owner’s manual for your audio
mixer, connect your microphones, headphones and recording de-
vice and set the levels on your mixer.
On the front of the BlueKeeper, set the Send 1 and Caller knobs to
12 o’clock. (Send 2 and Headphones are not used in this configura-
tion so they can be turned off).
To connect the BlueKeeper to your mixer, use a balanced female
XLR cable with an adapter if necessary (not included) to connect
the Caller jack on the back of the BlueKeeper to any unused Line
input on the mixer. Using a balanced XLR male to 1/4” cable (not
included), connect the Post-Fader Aux bus output (Send B on this
mixer diagram) to the Send 1 XLR input on the BlueKeeper. Make
certain the Mic/Line button on the BlueKeeper is Out (Line).
On your mixer, locate the row of Aux B knobs. This row of knobs will
set the level of each input channel to the Aux B output which is sent
to the phone caller. Turn all of these knobs to 9 o’clock except for
the channel you have the Caller from the BlueKeeper connected to
(Channel 4 in this example). This Aux B knob should be set fully off
(hard left on most mixers).
Speak into your microphone and watch the level indicators on the
mixer. Adjust your Mic Level so your audio is at 0 dB on the meter
most of the time and occasionally up to +3 dB. Repeat for each mic.
Next check the Send level meter on the front of the BlueKeeper.
Adjust the Send 1 knob on the BlueKeeper so that both green lights
are on while you speak, and you only occasionally see the red light.
Some mixers may have an Aux Send master control that will affect
the audio level you send to the BlueKeeper. You should start with
this knob at 12 o’clock and adjust it if necessary to get the correct
level on the BlueKeeper.
Following the instructions on pages 16-17 of this guide, pair your
cell phone to the BlueKeeper and set up a call on your phone.
Press the Call button on the front of the BlueKeeper. As the Caller
speaks, adjust the Gain knob on the mixer for the channel you have
the Caller audio connected to until the Peak light for that channel
comes on, then reduce the level slightly just until the light goes out.
