SM10
Owner's Manual 1
Introduction
The Samson SM10 rack mount mixer is a versatile tool for many sound appli-
cations. The SM10 mixer features eight independent stereo line input chan-
nels, and includes two channels with XLR microphone preamps. There are also
two additional line inputs with stereo 1/4” jacks and level controls that can
be used to daisy-chain SM10 mixers together. The SM10 features a multitude
of signal routing options, with Monitor (Pre-Fade), EFX (Post-Fade), and Mix
B sends on Channels 1-8. The Master section of the SM10 features expanded
monitoring capabilities. The headphone output and meter bridge can be
selected to monitor the MON out, EFX out, Mix B, or Main output. There is also
an extra MON output with level control for quick patching to the MON send
without having to go to the rear panel. Built into a single space 19-inch rack
with internal power supply, the SM10 is reliable for any installation and rug-
ged enough to be used on the road.
