MX-206 Front Panel

1.Input dB (Gain) - This 3-position slide switch sets the operating level of the microphone preamp. The best signal to noise ratio is obtained with higher gain settings, however it is important to leave enough headroom (20dB) to prevent clipping. The numbers -20, -40, and -60 refer to the nominal level of the microphone signal applied to the input. The center position (-40) is a good starting point for most applications.

Note: The Input Gain switch increases or decreases by 20dB increments. To avoid system feedback and possible driver or hearing damage, turn down the channel level control before adjusting the gain, then slowly increase level control to suitable setting

2.Input Level - This inner concentric control determines the mix level of its respective channel. If you have insufficient signal with the level fully turned up, change the Input dB (gain) switch of that channel to a higher setting.

3.Input Pan - This outer concentric control determines the stereo position of the signal.

4.Clip - Each input has a red LED which will illuminate when the mic preamp or input level circuit pass a signal which is 3dB below clipping. If the level control is off and the LED is still flashing, reduce the Input dB (gain) switch.

5.Stereo Aux Input - This control adjusts the level of the stereo signal from the RCA inputs on the back panel. The Tape/CD input should have a nominal level of -10dB.

6.Stereo Outputs - The Left and Right output levels are independently controlled by these two dials. They respectively determine the signal at the 1/4" jack Main outputs.

7.Mono Output - This inner concentric control determines the output level of the transformer- balanced Mono Output XLR connector. Its signal is summed from the right and left mix bus, and is fully independent of the settings of the stereo output level controls.

8.Headphones Output Level - This outer concentric control determines the level of the stereo headphones, and is fully independent of the other outputs.

9.Output Meters - Two 6-segment LED arrays show the current status of the stereo outputs. 0VU is equivalent to +4dBu (1.228Vrms).

10.Stereo Headphone Jack - You can monitor the stereo mix through headphones independent of all other output controls. In other words, the headphones can be used even if all other output controls are turned off.

11.Phantom Power Indicator - This red LED is lit when the phantom power is turned on. The phantom power switch is on the back panel.
