Using the Mixer Controls

Turning on the Mixer

2.On the mixer, turn ON the power switch. The adjacent power LED will illuminate.

3.Turn on the audio input sources you wish to mix, and set them to play (or talk continuously into the microphone).

4.To monitor the audio input sources so that you can decide when to mix in each input, see “Monitoring ‘Cueing’ the Inputs.”

5.To mix the audio input sources so that you can play them through your amplifier system or record them on your tape deck, see “Mixing the Inputs.”

Monitoring (”Cueing”) the Inputs

1.Set the CUE ASSIGN switch of the input source (MIC , CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH 4) you wish to monitor.

2.Adjust the Headphone Level control to a comfortable listening level.

3.The Headphone CUE/PGM control permits you to switch easily from listening to CUE material to the playing PROGRAM sound. You can also listen to both simultaneously by moving the Headphone CUE/PGM control to a point midway between the two ends.

PYD-1938 and PYD-1948:These models also have an F/X CUE for you to monitor the sound effect being applied.

PYD-1958:This model has an additional CUE on the sampler module for you monitor the sampled signal being applied. To monitor a sampled signal, press the SAMPLE ASSIGN button for the channel to which the sample has been saved, and then press the SAMPLE CUE button to audition this sound.

Mixing the Inputs

There are a maximum of ten input sources available at one time, including two microphone inputs. Both microphone input sources are always available as part of the mix, if desired. Each of the four audio channels can be linked to two different input sources, and one of these sources for each channel is available for mixing.Turn on all the available audio sources and be sure they are providing sound before continuing.

1.Select the Channel Input Selectors for each channel, choose the audio sources you want to mix for each channel (i.e., choose PHONO1/LINE1 or LINE2).

2.Set the Mic and Channel Level controls all to within the 8 - 10 range.

3.Slide the MASTER volume control toward 10 until you get an average reading of 0 on both Output Level LED Meters. The output level displayed in the meters represents the TOTAL output from all the channels supplying audio to the mix. NOTE: Once you set this level, we suggest you do not change it!

4.If you add or change input sources, adjust the corresponding MIC1, 2 or CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 level control(s) to maintain the average reading of 0 on the Blue LED meters.

5.To change the overall sound level, adjust the RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER (NOT THE MIXER) volume control to the desired volume.
