MPS 409 Setup Guide (Continued)

In separate-combine mode, only one input selection is allowed from the HDMI/DVI groups along with a single input selection from the VGA/YUV group and another from the Video group. So there will only be three front panel input LEDs lit in combined mode rather than four when in separate switcher mode.

To enable combined switcher mode:

Setup and Operation — Optimizing the Audio

For optimal audio quality, the audio input levels can be adjusted individually. In addition, the microphone and program output levels can be adjusted separately using the front panel controls. Program output and microphone levels are independent from each other. Muting program audio does not mute the microphone input.

Setting the Input Audio Level

1.Simultaneously press and hold the Program Audio Mute and MIC Mute buttons until the two mute LEDs flash three times, then release both buttons.

clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the audio level. The front panel LEDs display the level setting as the knob is adjusted (see Audio Gain/Attenuation Adjustments in the MPS 409 User Guide).

4.Once the desired level is achieved, to adjust another input, select it within three seconds. If audio adjustments are complete, to exit the gain/attenuation mode:

a.Do not press any front panel buttons for at least three seconds, or

b.Press the Program Audio Mute and MIC Mute buttons.

At any time during the adjustments, if the front panel buttons are not pressed or the program knob is not rotated within three seconds, the switcher times out and the gain/attenuation mode is exited.

Setting the Program Output Audio Level

1.Turn on all equipment and select an input with an audio signal present.

2.Turn on program audio by pressing the Program Audio Mute button (the LED goes out).

3.Using the Program Audio volume control (right), adjust the volume of the audio amplifier connected to the Program Audio Out connector to achieve the desired sound level.

Setting the Microphone Level

1.Turn on all equipment and select an input with an audio signal present.

2.If the program audio output level has not been adjusted, do so before setting the microphone level.

3.If phantom power is required for the microphone, be certain it is on.

4.Turn on the microphone by pressing the MIC Mute button (the LED goes out).

5.Talk into the microphone in a normal voice and adjust the Mic volume knob (right) to the desired sound level.
