Setting Audio Levels
1. Start with INPUT set to 9:00 o'clock and
OUTPUT all the way down (fully counter-
clockwise).
2. Set the instrument output or effects send
being input to the MPX 100 to a nominal
level and play, or send audio to the MPX
100. The Level LEDs* should light green.
If the Clip LEDs light red at this point, turn
down the output of the instrument or
effects send until the Clip LEDs remain
off during the loudest passages.
3
* The Level LEDs are off when the incoming signal
is low (more than 30dB below overload). The Clip
LEDs light red when the signal approaches over-
load (-2.5dB). Acceptable signals will cause the
Level LEDs to light green almost continuously,
with the Clip LEDs flashing red on peaks.
3. While still sending audio to the MPX 100,
gradually turn up the INPUT control until
the Cl ip LEDs show red on only the
loudest peaks.
4. Set the MIX control to Dry.
5. Turn OUTPUT to the desired level.
6. If the MPX 100 is using a console’s sends
and returns, set the MIX control fully
clockwise (100% wet). If you are using an
instrument amplifier, start with MIX set
halfway up.
As with any audio product, it is good
practice to first power on all outboard
gear, then the mixer, then any loud-
speakers.
