YORKVILLE MP8DX - Service: - 1

INPUT CHANNEL

1. MICROPHONE & LINE INPUTS

The MP8dx features standard XLR type Low-impedance MIC IN connectors on all channels. These microphone inputs are electronically balanced for maximum noise suppression and have characteristics matching all low impedance dynamic microphones. Condenser microphones may also be connected with 24 Volt DC phantom power activated via the back-panel PHANTOM push-button. (Note: condenser and dynamic mics may be used together with the PHANTOM power activated. It will not affect the performance of the dynamic mics). Additionally, there are high-impedance 1/4'' BAL LINE IN jacks on channels 1 through 6. These are electronically balanced line-level inputs, but will accept either balanced or unbalanced input cables from high impedance microphones, guitars, amplifier Line outputs, synthesizers, electric pianos, etc. (Note: when connecting a balanced signal, employ balanced patch cables with a ring/tip/sleeve (stereo) 1/4'' plug on the mixer end). Channels 7 and 8 have dual TAPE/CD/LINE IN RCA type inputs. Either the XLR or RCA type inputs (not both) may be used to connect a tape deck, CD player or an outboard mixer to these channels (using both RCA jacks is OK). A phono preamplifier must be connected to the MP8dx inputs for optimum turntable performance.

  • Do not connect signals to both types of inputs on any one channel (e.g. the MIC and LINE IN's on channels 1 to 6 or the XLR and RCA type TAPE/CD/LINE IN's on channels 7 and 8). To do so will cause improper operation of the input circuit. (Note: you may connect a stereo source to channels 1 through 6 but you must use two channels, one for left and one for right).

YORKVILLE MP8DX - MICROPHONE & LINE INPUTS - 1

2. CHANNEL GAIN CONTROLS & CLIP LEDs

The GAIN control has a range of 40dB. This adjustment determines both the input sensitivity of the channel and the signal level sent to the MAIN mixing bus. (The MP80x channel circuitry does not require separate gain and level controls). The CLIP LED is set to illuminate when the channel's overall signal level is 3dB below the onset of actual clipping distortion. As a result, small amounts of LED activity are acceptable, however frequent or continuous activity indicates the need to turn down the GAIN control.

3. CHANNEL LOW, MID, & HIGH EQUALIZATION

The MP8dx's LOW, MID & HIGH EQ controls independently adjust the bass, middle and treble frequencies for each channel. Center frequencies have been carefully selected for optimum sonic adjustments and the gain range for each control is plus or minus (+/-) 15dB to provide versatile equalization consistent with the clean

simplicity of the MP8^DX' 's design. As with all equalizers, boosts at one or more frequencies increase the channel's signal level. If the channel is already at a fairly high operating level, this may cause clipping, in which case the CLIP LED will light. Reduce the GAIN setting and/or the EQ boosts if CLIP activity is excessive. (Note: center position reflects a neutral or flat EQ control setting, however lower EQ control settings may be effectively employed to reduce feedback and/or distortion).

4. CHANNEL MON CONTROL

Each channel has a MON (monitor send) control which varies the amount of channel signal being tapped off and sent to the monitor bus in the MP8dx. The MON signal is pre-fader and pre-channel EQ, in other words it is taken before the GAIN and EQ controls so that the monitor mix can be independent of the main mix. As a result, channel EQ settings do not affect the sound of the monitor signals, nor do the channel GAIN controls regulate their volume.

5. CHANNEL EFX CONTROL

Each channel has an EFX (effects send) control which adjusts the level of the channel signal being tapped off and sent to the MP8DX's effects bus. This signal is post-fader and post-EQ, in other words it is affected by both the channel EQ controls and the channel GAIN control. Normally, the output signal from the effects bus is internally routed to the DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR. In this situation, the EFX control would regulate the intensity of the built-in effects on that channel's sound through the main PA system and the RECORD OUT jacks. In standard operating mode with the built-in effects working, you can connect a regular on/off footswitch (e.g.

Yorkville model IFS-1A) to the EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND jack to turn the internal effects on and off. See the section EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND later in this manual for more information. Alternatively, this signal can be connected to the input of an external effects unit and returned via a channel. However, if you do not require any effects at all, the effects bus output signal can be connected to the input of an additional monitor system or other amp/speaker system via the EFX

FOOTSWITCH/SEND jack using a standard shielded patch cord. In this case, the EFX controls would act as send controls to achieve a semi-separate mix. (Remember that the channel GAIN controls will also affect this signal).

MASTER SECTION

1. MAIN MASTER CONTROL & CLIP LED

The MAIN MASTER control adjusts the overall level of the main mix and the PA volume. Beside this control is a CLIP LED, which indicates high signal levels within the main mixing bus. Reduce the MAIN MASTER, or the channel GAIN controls, if the MAIN CLIP LED is more than slightly active. (Note: to ensure maximum signal headroom and clarity, operate the mixer with the MAIN MASTER set at 7 or so. This way, you will be running the channel GAIN controls at lower settings, which helps to ensure that the channels do not clip).

2. MONITOR MASTER CONTROL

The overall level of the monitor mix is adjusted with the MONITOR MASTER control. Beside it is a CLIP LED, which indicates high signal levels within this bus. Reduce the MONITOR MASTER or the channel MON levels if the MONITOR CLIP LED is more than slightly active. (Note: as with the MAIN MASTER, keep the MASTER at a relatively high setting to ensure maximum clarity).

3. MAIN EFFECTS MASTER CONTROL

The MAIN EFX master control regulates the amount of signal going from the output of the internal DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR to the MAIN mixing bus where it is mixed with the dry signals direct from the channels. It controls overall effects intensity on the MAIN output signal and RECORD OUT signal as well as through the main PA speakers.

5. MAIN LINE OUT & AMP A IN JACKS

These jacks can serve a variety of patching and routing purposes. The MAIN LINE OUT is positioned in the signal path after the MP8DX's main graphic equalizer and is therefore regulated by it (i.e. it is post-EQ).

YORKVILLE MP8DX - MAIN LINE OUT & AMP A IN JACKS - 1

YORKVILLE MP8DX - MAIN LINE OUT & AMP A IN JACKS - 2

The main bus signals are available at line level (not speaker level, use the SPEAKER outputs on the back panel to drive speakers) from the MAIN LINE OUT jack. Taking a signal from this jack has no effect on the operation of the MP8dx's built-in power amplifier. It is therefore possible to feed an external power amplifier or even several,

interconnected power amps, with the MAIN output signal while the internal power amplifier is also functioning (although it is not necessary to have speakers connected - e.g. if you want to use the unit strictly as a mixer).

The AMP A IN jack is a direct input to the MAIN 400 Watt power amplifier, it is referred to as AMP A. An alternative use for the AMP A IN jack is as a patching input. Because this is a switching jack, when you plug into it, you interrupt the internal flow of the signal going from the output of the Main mixing bus to the input of the built-in 400 Watt power amp. This allows you to insert signal control devices such as an elite processor, an additional equalizer, or a compressor/limiter into the Main signal path. It is even possible to connect another mixer to the MP8px's power amplifiers via the AMP A IN jack. This slaves the amplifier to that mixer's signals (i.e. it no longer receives the built-in mixer's signals), which means that you could use the built-in mixer to do another, totally separate mixing job. For example, you could patch the MP8px's MAIN output to an input on another mixer connected to amps driving a PA speaker system while using the MP8px's internal A amp to power control room speakers.

6. MONITOR LINE OUT & AMP B IN JACKS

These jacks can serve a variety of patching and routing purposes. They are positioned in the signal path after the MP8 ^DX s monitor graphic equalizer.

The monitor mix signal is available at line level from the MONITOR LINE OUT jack at all times. Taking a signal from this jack has no effect upon the configuration of the MP8dx, so it is possible to feed an external power amplifier with the monitor mix signal while the internal power amplifier also amplifies the monitor mix signal. However, plugging into the MONITOR AMP B IN jack will break the internal monitor mix signal path. This allows you to insert a signal processing device (such as an elite processor or digital delay unit), into the monitor signal path of the MP8dx. To achieve this connect a cable from the MONITOR LINE OUT jack to the processor's input jack, and a cable from the processor's output jack to the MP8dx's MONITOR AMP B IN jack.

You can deliver an external signal to the monitor power amplifier of the MP8^DX from any line level source via the AMP B IN jack. In this case you would route the MP8^DX' s monitor mix from the MONITOR LINE OUT jack to another mixer, or to an external power amplifier.

To summarize, the MONITOR LINE OUT and MONITOR AMP B IN jacks may be used as a post-mix effects loop or a signal processing patch, the MONITOR LINE OUT jack can serve as a monitor mix output, and the MONITOR AMP B IN jack can be used as an auxiliary input to the internal 200 Watt power amplifier.

7. RECORD OUT JACKS

These phono connectors carry the pre-EQ (not affected by the MAIN EQ) main mix signals. RECORD OUT signal levels are regulated by the MAIN master. Using phonoto-phonopatch cords, connect the RECORD OUT jacks to the Aux. (line-level) inputs on the tape deck. Actual recording levels would now be adjusted using the tape deck's record level control/s.

Best results for recording will be achieved with the MAIN master and channel levels set fairly high. If you need to record while the MP8DX is operating in a PA situation and set at lower levels, perhaps in a church, you can have a technician make up two short **padded patch cables as specified below. These would be connected between the MAIN LINE OUT jack and the AMP A & jack. They will reduce the amount of signal going to the power amplifier inputs so that the MAIN master and channel levels can be set high enough to provide adequate RECORD OUT signal levels without the PA system being too loud.

** To fashion the -20dB padded patch cables, start with two short, shielded patch cords. On each cord, solder a 10k Ohm resistor in series with the tip of the plug to be inserted in a LINE OUT jack, then solder a 2.2k Ohm resistor across the plug to be inserted in an AMP IN jack. It would then be advisable to identify either the LINE OUT or AMP IN plugs on both cords perhaps with tape or a dab of paint on the plug jacket.

8. EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND JACK

This jack may be used to connect a standard on/off footswitch for the internal DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR or alternately as an effects send jack to another effects processor. In this latter function, both the internal effects and the other devices would be sent signal. In that instance, you could connect the external unit's output to a LINE input on any channel. Here you would need to keep the GAIN level of that channel fairly low and make sure that its EFX control is turned off. As another alternative, the EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND jack may be used to deliver line-level signal to the input of an auxiliary amp/speaker system or a tape deck.

9. POWER LED & THE SWITCH

The POWER LED lets you know that the MP8dx is plugged in and turned on. The AC power on/off switch is on the rear panel of the unit.

10. PHANTOM POWER

The PHANTOM power LED indicates that 24 volts of DC phantom power is present on all the XLR microphone inputs to power condenser microphones. Regular dynamic mics may be connected while the PHANTOM POWER is activated without encountering problems. The PHANTOM POWER push-button is located on the rear panel.

DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR

1. DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR SELECT & MODIFY CONTROLS

The SELECT control selects from 16 banks of reverb sounds, delays and other effects. Settings A through G represent single reverbs or echo delays. Settings H through P are combined or combo effects where two or more effects are blended together. Simply rotate the SELECT control to the basic type of effect you prefer. This is a continuous type of control so you may simply rotate it in either direction to reach the desired setting. Lists of effects banks appear in this manual and on the front panel of the MP8DX.

Each bank of effects contains 16 individual effect variations. The MODIFY control selects each one of these variations. For example, if bank E (Medium Delays), has been selected, position 1 will give you 200 milliseconds of delay, and positions 2 through 16 will give you progressively longer delays up to 375 milliseconds. Bank P is the exception to this rule. It consists of sixteen different special effects, such as pitch shift up, or down, detune flanger, etc.

2. EFFECTS CLIP LED

Situated between the SELECT and MODIFY controls, the CLIP LED indicates that the digital processor is receiving an input signal which is too strong, possibly resulting in distortion. For maximum dynamic range, the CLIP LED should flash briefly, but only on high-energy transients such as loud snare drum hits. If there is too much CLIP activity, turn down the channel EFX controls.

BUILT IN GRAPHIC EQUALIZERS

General

A graphic equalizer, represents a set of limited-range (+/-12dB) gain controls. In this case there are 9 sliders for the MAIN and 5 sliders for the MONITOR The MAIN EQ operates over a one-octave portion of the overall band of sound frequencies. Please note that equalizers can have an effect on the gain of the main and monitor system as well as its frequency response. Once adjusted, you may need to turn down the MAIN and/or MONITOR MASTER level/s if the CLIP LED/s beside them become very active.

YORKVILLE MP8DX - General - 1

YORKVILLE MP8DX - General - 2

There Are 3 Main Functions for the Graphic EQ

  1. To adjust the system for feedback reduction, the normal technique is to turn the main or monitor system up to the point of feedback and move the EQ sliders, one at a time, to determine which frequency band is causing the feedback. (Remember to push them back up to center position if they don't stop the feedback). When isolated, the offending band is then pushed down about 3 to 6 dB. Usually only 2 or 3 bands can be reduced before the feedback elimination process begins to affect the sound quality.

  2. To adjust for deficiencies in the main speaker system's bass response, the most common adjustment is to boost the 63Hz about 6 dB and the 125Hz about 3 dB. However, use of the graphic EQ to extend the deep bass frequency response of a speaker cabinet does use up a lot of the available system power, so this technique should be used with caution to avoid distortion and possible speaker damage. On the other hand, in applications where it is appropriate to sacrifice deep bass for higher overall sound output, the 63Hz slider should be taken down 6 dB below center. You may now increase the MAIN level for added volume.

  3. Boosting low frequencies for the MONITOR mix is not recommended because it may interfere with the sound of the MAIN speakers.

  4. The third use of the graphic equalizer is to adjust the sound character for artistic reasons. Each frequency is adjusted until the sound is what the musicians feel sounds best. The best sound system operators, however, usually strive to use a minimum of equalization for this purpose, or for boosting the bass. Instead, they use very minimal sound-shaping adjustments to ensure that the threat of feedback and distortion will also be minimal.

MP8x REAR PANEL

1. A & B SPEAKER OUTPUTS & HEATSINKS

Each of the MP8dx's power amplifiers have two 1/4" jacks for speaker connections. You may connect one 8-Ohm speaker cabinet to each jack (two speaker cabinets) or a single 4-Ohm speaker to AMP A. AMP B has a 2-Ohm minimum load rating and can therefore drive up to four 8-Ohm stage monitors, or two 4-Ohm stage monitors. Connecting two 8-Ohm speakers (i.e.a 4-Ohm load) to either AMP A or AMP B will not harm the MP8dx. If the amp overheats, the built-in thermal protection will cycle the amplifier on and off until it cools down, usually in a few minutes.

  • Do not obstruct the flow of air around the heatsink fins on the rear of the MP8DX as this may cause the power amplifier to overheat and shut off. After the MP8DX cools down, operation will be restored automatically. This should never happen if adequate ventilation is provided at the back of the unit.

2. AC POWER SWITCH & FUSE

The power switch and fuse are located on the back panel. If you must replace the fuse, always replace it with the same type - a 12A slo-blo (T6A slo-blo in 220-240V export models). Do Not replace the fuse with the wrong type or wrap foil around the old one, as this may cause serious damage. If replaced fuses keep blowing, take the unit to your Yorkville dealer for service.

YORKVILLE MP8DX - AC POWER SWITCH & FUSE - 1

General Operating Instructions

  1. Connect the AC power cord to a 120 Volt AC grounded power outlet (220 to 240 Volts in export units).
  2. Turn the MAIN and MONITOR MASTER controls to 0 for now, then switch on the POWER.
  3. You can connect low-impedance microphones to the 3-pin XLR type MIC inputs.
  4. Connect high-impedance mics or mono line-level signal sources (i.e. amplifier line outputs, the output of a mono mixer, an electric instrument, etc.), to the 1/4^n BAL LINE IN jacks on channels 1 to 6. Do not connect more than one signal source to any of these channels, that includes stereo outputs (if you try to connect a stereo source to a mono channel using a Y adapter, you may get distortion).
  5. Connect stereo sources (tape deck, CD player, stereo keyboard instrument, etc.) to channels 7 and/or 8 via the RCA (phono) type inputs. These signals will be summed into mono. Once again, connect only one signal source per channel, and use shielded patch cords for all pre-amp connections.
  6. Using 18-gauge, or heavier, speaker cables (never use shielded patch cords to connect speakers, they cannot handle the high current and will waste power by heating up), connect one or two 8-Ohm main PA speakers to the AMP A SPEAKER outputs on the back panel. If you have 4-Ohm speakers, you may connect only one. Connect 1 to 4 8-Ohm monitors, or up to two 4-Ohm monitors to the AMP B SPEAKER outputs.

a. If you are employing a separate power amplifier for the monitor speakers, run a shielded patch cord from the MONITOR LINE OUT jack to the input of the monitor power amp. If you are employing a separate graphic equalizer for the monitors run a shielded patch cord from the MONITOR LINE OUT jack to the input of the EQ. Then, another one from the EQ's output to the input of the monitor power amp.

  1. Position your main PA speakers at the front of the stage, pointing directly out at the audience. Position your monitor speakers on the stage floor, in front of the mic stands, pointing up at the backs of the mics. (Remember to use cardioid or uni-directional mics to reduce the threat of monitor feedback).
  2. During a sound check, with the band playing, or other sources feeding the mixer inputs, make the following control adjustments:

i. Set the channel LOW, MID, and HIGH EQ controls at center. Now, set the channel GAIN, MON, and EFX controls at 0 and the GRAPHIC EQ sliders at center position.
ii. Turn up the MAIN and MONITOR MASTER controls to approximately 8, the MAIN EFX master to around 7 and MONITOR EFX master to 5.
iii. Turn up the channel MON controls until the performers can hear themselves at adequate volume levels without feedback.
iv. Turn up the channel GAIN controls slowly until each channel can be heard at the desired volume level through the main PA speakers.
v. Turn up the EFX controls on those channels requiring effects. Usually this would be the lead and harmony vocal channels. Reverb may be used on other channels or on recorded music, but at low levels.

  1. Feedback during a performance is usually caused by one of the monitors. The main PA is less likely to feed back because the mics are so far away from the main PA speakers. Therefore, if you are using monitors and feedback occurs, try the following procedures:

i. Turn the MONITOR master down until the feedback stops.
ii. If you have a graphic equalizer patched between the MONITOR output and your monitor power amp, pull down one or two (but not more) of the EQ sliders in the frequency range where the sound seems to be occurring.
iii. Now turn the MONITOR master back up. If the feedback recurs, push the EQ slider/s back up to center position and try pulling down one or two others.
iv. In the rare case of main system feedback, follow the above type of procedure, but using the MAIN master and the built in GRAPHIC EQ.
