Musical Instruments & Equipment > Music Mixer
When we buy new device such as Viking MCX-106 we often through away most of the documentation but the warranty.
Very often issues with Viking MCX-106 begin only after the warranty period ends and you may want to find how to repair it or just do some service work.
Even oftener it is hard to remember what does each function in Music Mixer Viking MCX-106 is responsible for and what options to choose for expected result.

Properly match the impedances of the outputs and inputs. minus). Pin 3 is hot (high, plus). 2. Connect low impedance outputs to high impedance inputs.It goes without saying that not only input and output impedance matching but alsolevel matching should be taken into consideration. Each input channel of the MCX- 106 is provided with an input TRIM control, so the usable signal level range is verywide. Input impedances and levels are shown in the following table. unbalanced. If the lin e going from one piece of equipment to another is long (more than 5m), werecommend that balanced outputs be connected to balanced inputs. As is described in the beginning of the Operating Instructions Manual, the connectorsof the MCX-106 are wired as follows : Pin 1 is ground (shield).
