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 VOLUME 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 PAN 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.
