CM-LIVE and CM-STUDIO Mixers User Manual
Operation
Each channel has a 3-band EQ (LOW/MID/HIGH), which can be used to balance the mix of frequencies and
emphasise certain aural characteristics in the signal. Adjust these as required, noting that and overall increase
may require an equivalent reduction of the GAIN control to compensate (otherwise clipping may occur from
EQ boost).
Use the PAN control to position the channel input either to the left or right side of the stereo field. This can be
useful to help separate and define sounds within a mix but be aware that extreme settings can be counter-
productive by removing the channel from certain listening positions.
Use the AUX control to feed the correct amount of the channel signal to the AUX output. This routing is “Pre-
fader” and is independent from the channel fader setting.
For CM-LIVE models, there is an EFF control, which feeds a part of the signal to the internal delay effect.
Overall controls for DELAY (time between repeats) and REPEAT (number of repeats) are on the right-hand
side of the control surface - these can be adjusted as required. An EFFECT control adjusts the overall level of
the delay effect.
If external effects are to be used, plugging a jack lead into the EFFECT output defeats the internal delay effect
and acts as a mono line level “send” to the external effect unit. The output(s) from the external unit will need
to be “returned” via a mono or stereo channel and added to the mix, whereby the channel fader takes the
place of the overall EFFECT level control.
Channel faders should be used to adjust the individual levels in the mix and the MAIN fader is for overall level.
Turn down amplifier levels when changing any connections or powering down the mixer to avoid speaker
damage.
