2. Controls and connectors
2.1 Front panel
The controls of channels 1 – 6 and 7 – 8 are largely identical as well as the controls of the LEFT, RIGHT and AUX buses. Channels 1 and 7 plus the LEFT bus are described exemplarily.
Pressing the switch controls, unless otherwise noted, activates the described functions, but are deactivated when not pressed.
Fig. 2.1: Controls of the ZMX8210
Channels 1 – 6
{1} PAD: The switch attenuates the input level of loud signal sources by 20 dB.
{2} +48 V: The switch activates the phantom power for capacitor microphones.
{3} L, R, AUX: The three switches route the channel signals to one or more output buses.
{4} THRESH (only Channel 1): The knob selects the level at which the signal is muted. When the level of the input signal exceeds the specified value, the signal of channels 2 – 8 on the LEFT/RIGHT bus is muted. Apply the Mute function to fade out music signals as soon as a microphone on channel 1 is talked into.
{5} LEVEL: This knob adjusts the preamplification and the level with which the input signal is sent to the selected buses.
{6} LEDs: The LEDs show the input levels. When the CLIP LED lights up, the input level needs to be attenuated by using the LEVEL knob {5} to prevent clipping. In case the attenuation is insufficient, use PAD switch {1} to attenuate the signal further.
Channels 7 – 8
{7} MONO: This switch selects the configuration of the stereo channels:
== In mono mode (switch pressed), the channel's L/R inputs are mixed together and sent to the LEFT, RIGHT and AUX buses. In this way, a mono signal is sent to all output buses at the same time.
