Input Wiring tips:

1.For all input con- nectivity use shielded wire only. Cables with a foil shield or a high-density braid are best.

2.When changing input connec- tions, turn down the level controls on the mixer to eliminate pops and thumps out of the loudspeakers as the cable con- tacts the mixer.

3.Keep input connec- tion cables as short as possible to mini- mize noise and hum.

Input Channels

1. MIC and LINE Inputs

The MM5D features XLR low-impedance microphone connectors on the channels. These micro- phone inputs are balanced for maximum noise suppression. The 24 Volt DC phantom power is present on all 5 XLR input jacks for condenser microphones.

Note: You can use condenser and dynamic microphones with the phantom power pres- ent on the input XLR jacks. It will not affect the performance of the dynamic microphones.

In addition to the XLR inputs, each channel features ¼-inch LINE in phone jacks. Channels 1-4 are balanced line-level inputs and will accept either balanced (Tip/Ring/ Sleeve) or unbalanced (Tip/Sleeve) input cables from high impedance microphones, mixer line outputs, keyboards, synthesizers, electric pianos etc.

Note: When connecting a balanced signal, use balanced patch cables with either an XLR or a Tip/Ring/Sleeve ¼-inch phone plug on the mixer end.

Channel 5 has a very high impedance, unbalanced ¼-inch phone input which is opti- mized for instruments such as electric basses, acoustic electric guitars etc.

Connecting signals to both types of inputs on any one channel (MIC and LINE in) is not recommended. To do so may change the gain of the input circuit.

2. Channel LEVEL Controls and CLIP LEDs

The CHANNEL LEVEL control adjusts the signal level sent to the MAIN mixing bus. The CLIP LED will illuminate when the channel’s overall signal level in that channel is 3 dB below the onset of actual clipping. As a result, small amounts of clip LED activity is acceptable, how- ever frequent or continuous activity indicates the need to turn down the LEVEL control.

In audio terminology, the MAIN mixing bus is an audio signal path where all the sig- nals from the input channels are blended into one signal. The MM5D has 2 busses: MAIN (left and right), and RECORD OUT.

3. Channel Lo, and Hi Equalization

The MM5D tone controls adjust the bass, and treble frequencies for each channel inde- pendently. Center frequencies have been carefully selected to help achieve the best qual- ity of sound. BASS is centered on 80 Hz, and the TREBLE is at 12 kHz. The adjustment range for each control is +/- 15 dB. As with equalizers, boosting one or more frequencies increase the channel’s level. If the channel is already at a high level, clipping may occur, in which case the clip LED will illuminate. Reduce the CHANNEL LEVEL setting and/or the CHANNEL Equalizer setting if clip LED activity is excessive.

Note: The EQ center position reflects a neutral or flat EQ control setting; however, turning down EQ settings can be used effectively to reduce feedback, and/or clean up the sound).

4. Channel EFX Controls

The EFX control (effects send) for each channel adjusts the level of the channel signal sent to the MM5D effects bus. This signal is post-LEVELcontrol and post-EQ, so the sound is affected by both the CHANNEL EQ controls and the CHANNEL LEVEL control. The signal from the CHANNEL EFX controls is internally routed to the Digital Effects Processor. The CHANNEL EFX control adjusts the intensity of the built-in digital effects for the channel’s output.
