Frequently Asked Questions - XML410 SAMSON

How do I connect microphones to the XML410?
Use the XLR or 1/4" TRS inputs on channels 1-6. For condenser mics, enable the +48V phantom power switch (CH 5-6 also have phantom power). Ensure MASTER and MONITOR volumes are turned down before switching phantom power on to avoid pops.
How do I use the built-in digital effects?
Select an effect preset using the EFFECTS SELECT knob (00-99). Press EFX ON to enable. Turn up the AUX 2/EFX knob on the desired channels. Adjust the overall effect level with EFX TO MAIN and EFX TO MON controls.
What are the power amplifier modes and how do I set them?
The XML410 has three modes via the MODE switch: MAIN-MAIN (stereo out from both amps), MAIN-MONITOR (one amp for mains, one for monitor), and MAIN-BRIDGE (single 400W mono out). Always turn off power before changing the MODE switch.
How do I set up a monitor mix?
Set the MODE switch to MAIN-MONITOR. Use the AUX 1/MON knob on each channel to send signal to the monitor bus. Adjust the MONITOR section's master volume and graphic EQ (if available) for the monitor speakers.
Can I connect external effects processors?
Yes. Connect the EFX 2 SEND output to the input of your external effect. Return the effect's output to an unused channel input. On that channel, turn the AUX 2/EFX knob fully down. Use the channel's VOL control to adjust the effect return level.
How do I connect speakers to the XML410?
Use the 1/4" speaker outputs. For stereo mode (MAIN-MAIN), connect one speaker to AMP1 and one to AMP2. For bridge mode, use only the BRIDGE jack. Ensure total impedance per amp is at least 4Ω (8Ω for bridge). Two 8Ω speakers can be daisy-chained per amp.
What is the maximum power output in bridge mode?
In bridge mode, the XML410 delivers 400W into an 8Ω load. Use a speaker with impedance between 8Ω and 16Ω. Do not connect anything to AMP1 or AMP2 jacks when using bridge mode.
How do I play audio from a CD/MP3 player?
Connect your device to the CD/TAPE IN RCA jacks. Adjust the TAPE IN VOLUME control. The signal is mixed into the main output. Use the CD/TAPE section's volume knob to set the level.
How do I record the mix?
Connect your recorder to the REC OUT RCA jacks. The signal is taken pre-MASTER and pre-EQ, so the recording level is independent of the main volume. Adjust the recording level on your recorder.
What should I do if the LIMITER indicators light frequently?
The LIMITER LEDs indicate the amplifier is being driven hard. If they light often, reduce the MASTER volume control to avoid potential damage to your speakers. The limiter protects against clipping, but persistent limiting may indicate too high a volume.

Controls and Functions

Input Channel Section

The following section details each part of the XML's INPUT CHANNELS including the 3-BAND EQ, the MONITOR and EFX sends, GAIN and VOLUME controls.

  1. Peak - This LED indicator will flash RED when the channel input signal peaks. To reduce distortion, turn the VOL control counterclockwise until the clip indicator does not light during normal use.
  2. Equalizer (HF, MF, and LF) - This three-band equalizer allows you to contour a channel's high, mid, and low frequency bands. When the control is set to the 12 o'clock (detent) position, there is no effect on the signal. Turning the controls fully clockwise will raise the level of the frequency band +15 dB, while turning the controls fully counterclockwise will lower the level of the frequency band -15 dB.
  3. AUX 1/MON - The AUX 1 controls the amount of signal sent to the Monitor bus. The AUX 1 send is pre-fader so the signal is unaffected by the position of the VOL control. These sends are usually used to create a separate mix for a monitor system. The Monitor bus signal is routed to the front panel MONITOR jack, and may be routed to the SPEAKER RIGHT/MONITOR output jacks, depending on the setting of the MODE switch. When the MON send knob is at the 12 o'clock center position, the signal is routed with unity.
  4. AUX 2/EFX - The AUX2/EFX send knob allows you to route the signal to the internal digital effects processor and the EFX 2 SEND output. The AUX2/EFX send is post-fader so the level of the signal is determined by the position of the channel Volume control. When the AUX2/EFX send knob is at the 12 o'clock position, the signal is routed with unity.
  5. VOL - This knob controls the volume of channel inputs and is used to continuously adjust the loudness of the various signals being blended together at the Main Outputs. Moving the knob counterclockwise causes the signal to be attenuated. Conversely, when rotated clockwise, the signal is boosted.

NOTE: For best signal-to-noise ratio, all VOL controls for channels carrying signal should generally be kept at or near the 12 o'clock (unity) position. Channels that are unused should have their Volume controls kept fully counterclockwise at their minimum level.

  1. COMP (XML610 and XML910 only) - The COMP knob adjusts the level of compression applied to the channel. As the COMP knob is turned clockwise, the compression ratio is raised and the output gain is adjusted accordingly. The dynamic range of the channel is narrowed, where softer signals will be magnified and loud signals will be subdued to sit better in the mix. You should use your ears when adding compression to a signal. Too much compression can create a pumping effect, eliminate all dynamic range, and lead to feedback.

  2. PAD 20 dB switch, Channels 1 to 4 (XML610 and XML910 only) – Use this switch to match the type of input signal you are supplying. If the PEAK light of an input continues to light even when the VOL is turned down, depress the PAD switch. Always turn the VOL completely counterclockwise before pressing the PAD switch to avoid damaging your speakers.

CH 1 PEAK HF 12K MF 2.5K LF 80 AUX 1 MON AUX 2 EFX VOL COMP PAD 20dB

Controls and Functions

  1. 1/4" Inputs (XML410 Channels 1–6; XML610 and XML910 Channels 1–4) - Balanced TRS phone line input (T: hot, R: cold, S: ground). You can connect a microphone or line level source to this input. Accepts both balanced and unbalanced line inputs. You cannot use the 1/4" and XLR inputs on the same channel simultaneously.

  2. XLR Inputs (XML410 Channels 1–6; XML610 and XML910 Channels 1–4) - Balanced XLR input (1: ground, 2: hot, 3: cold). You can connect a microphone or line level source to this input. The XLR inputs also feature +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones. When switching the PHANTOM power switch to the ON position, be sure to turn the MASTER and MONITOR controls fully counterclockwise to avoid any loud pops through your speakers. You cannot use the 1/4" and XLR inputs on the same channel simultaneously.

Stereo Channel Inputs

The XML610 and XML910 feature four stereo input strips, which include channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 and 11/12. While these channels look very much like the mono channels, they have two inputs so they can accept a stereo signal. As an added bonus, these inputs also include a microphone input, which can be used in mono.

  1. 1/4" LINE Inputs Channels 5–12 (XML610 and XML910 only) - Use these pairs of unbalanced 1/4" inputs for connecting stereo line level sources. When connecting only to the LINE L/MONO input, the input signal will be sent at equal levels to Left and Right mix.

  2. XLR MIC Input Channels 5-12 (XML610 and XML910 only) - Use these inputs to connect Low Impedance microphones and low-level signals from direct boxes. The MIC inputs also feature +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones. You can use the 1/4" LINE inputs and XLR MIC inputs simultaneously, but the VOL control will adjust all inputs together.

24-Bit Digital Effects Section

The XML mixers feature built-in, 24-bit digital effects processors with 100 high-quality, studio grade effects like Delay, Chorus and Reverb. The following section describes the features of the powerful on-board digital effects section.

  1. Effects Program Display - The XML mixers' digital-effects processors feature dual-digit, seven-segment numerical display for showing the effects PROGRAM number from 00 - 99. You will see the PROGRAM numbers change as you scroll through the effects preset using the DSP SELECT control. When the Effects Display shows two straight lines through the center of each segment, the effects are turned off and the EFX ON switch is in the out position.
  2. Effects SELECT - The SELECT control knob is a continuously variable encoder, that allows you to call up one of the 100 built-in digital effects presets. Rotate the SELECT knob to scroll through the preset programs using the Effects Program Display to choose the number of the effect you want.
  3. Effects ON Switch - The Effects ON switch is used to turn the internal digital effects on and off. The effects are bypassed when the switch is in the out position and the Effects Display shows two dashes.
  4. Effects PROGRAM List - This section identifies the ten banks of built-in DSP effects presets. The first bank of ten presets is designed for live performance, and the subsequent banks are arranged in groups by the type of effect.
  5. Effects LEVEL Control - The Aux 2/EFX signals from input channels are mixed together and sent to the internal DSP and EFX 2 Output. The Effects LEVEL control is used to adjust the amount of signal send to the DSP and EFX 2 Output.
  6. EFX 2 Send Jack - The unbalanced 1/4" EFX 2 Send is used to route a signal to an external signal processor such as a delay or reverb. The signal present at the EFX 2 Send is routed from the EFX bus, which is fed from the input channel's Aux 2/EFX control knob.
  7. EFX FOOTSWITCH Jack - Connect a footswitch to the EFX FOOTSWITCH phone input jack to toggle the internal digital effects On and Off.

Main Section

The XML series mixers have two internal power amplifiers, depending on the power amp MODE selection switch, the amplifiers are sent the MAIN or MONITOR bus signal.

  1. MAIN Output Level Meters - The output level meter allows you to monitor the level of the signal being sent to the MAIN power amplifier and to the MAIN OUT jacks. To avoid distortion, adjust the MASTER LEVEL controls so that the 0 indicator LED lights occasionally.

20 MONITOR -10 -5 0 +3 +6 MAIN / L -10 -5 0 +3 +6 MAIN / R

  1. MONITOR Output Level Meter - The MONITOR

output level meter allows you to monitor the level of the signal which is being sent to the MONITOR send jack and MONITOR power amplifier.

  1. AMP 1/2 LIMITER - The LIMITER indicators light when the channel's signal for the corresponding amplifier hits its maximum value, and the limiter comes on. This will ensure the cleanest possible output, and will protect your speaker system if it accidentally receives a clipped signal from your mixer.

NOTE: If the LIMITER indicators are lighting frequently, there could be a risk of damage to your equipment. Turn the MASTER control counterclockwise until the indicator does not light during normal use.

  1. PHANTOM Power Switch - The XML mixers feature onboard, 48-Volt Phantom power supply to operate condenser microphones. When the switch is engaged, the LED will illuminate indicating that phantom power is now available on the microphone pre-amps.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid a loud pop, be sure to turn down the MASTER level controls before plugging and unplugging the mic cables when the phantom power is active.

  1. EFX TO MAIN - The EFX TO MAIN control is used to adjust the level of the sound being sent back from the built-in digital effect to the MAIN mix bus. This allows you to hear the DSP effects in your MAIN speakers.

PHANTOM AMP ○ 1 LIMITER AMP ○ 2 ON 21

  1. Graphic Equalizer - The 7-band Graphic Equalizer allows you to contour the frequency response of the MAIN/MONO mix bus signal, providing a maximum of 12dB of cut/boost for each frequency band. This is an especially useful tool for cutting frequencies that cause annoying feedback. The frequency response is flat when the sliders are in the center position. Moving a slider in the positive direction will boost that frequency by as much as

MAIN STEREO EFX TO MAIN -12 dB 0 -12 63Hz 160Hz 400Hz 1kHz 2.5kHz 6.4kHz 16kHz 23 24 MASTER

12dB, and moving the slider in the negative direction will cut that frequency by up to 12dB. Once you set a response curve using the Graphic Equalizer, the EQ curve is applied to both the MAIN/MONO bus signal that is output to the speakers, and the line level signal which is output from the MAIN OUT jacks.

  1. MASTER - The MASTER level control is the overall volume control for the MAIN bus. The MAIN level affects both the MAIN bus signal, which is output to the speakers, and the line level signal which is output from the MAIN OUT jacks.

MONITOR EFX TO MON 12 0 -12 dB 63Hz 180Hz 400Hz 1kHz 2.5kHz 6.4kHz 18kHz MASTER 26 27

  1. EFX TO MON - The EFX TO MON control is used to adjust the level of the sound being sent back from the built-in digital effect to the MONITOR bus. This allows you to hear the DSP effects in your monitor speakers.
  2. Graphic Equalizer (XML610 and XML910 Only) - The 7-band Graphic Equalizer allows you to contour the frequency response of the MONITOR bus signal, providing a maximum of 12dB of cut/boost for each frequency band. This is an especially useful tool for cutting frequencies that cause annoying feedback. The frequency response is flat when the sliders are in the center position. Moving a slider in the positive direction will boost that frequency by as much as 12dB, and moving the slider in the negative direction will cut that frequency by up to 12dB. Once you set a frequency response curve using the Graphic Equalizer, the EQ curve is applied to both the MONITOR bus signal that is sent to the monitor speakers, and the line level signal which is sent from the MONITOR output jack.
  3. MASTER - The MASTER level control is the overall control for the MONITOR bus. The MONITOR level affects both the MONITOR bus signal which is sent to the monitor speakers and the line level signal which is sent from the MONITOR output jack.

Controls and Functions

Power Amp Section

The XML series of mixers have a power amplifier section which can be configured to operate several ways depending on whether you need MAIN plus MONITOR amplifiers to power your speakers, or if you just need more power for the MAIN speakers. The section below describes the XML series' power amp modes.

  1. POWER - The POWER indicator lights to indicate that the power in on.

  2. Power Amp MODE switch - The MODE switch is used to select one of the following operating modes: MAIN-MONITOR, MAIN-MAIN or MAIN-BRIDGE (XML410 only).

CAUTION! Only change the power amp MODE switch when the power is SWITCHED OFF!

MAIN-MONITOR - With this setting, the MAIN and MONITOR sections can be used independently. The MAIN bus signal will be sent from the MAIN (XML410) or MAIN (L+R) (XML610 and XML910), and the MONITOR bus signal will be sent from the MONITOR jacks.

MAIN-MAIN - With this setting, the two power amp channels can be used independently. The MAIN bus signal will be output from the MAIN MODE (XML410) or RIGHT/LEFT jacks (XML610 and XML910 Rear Panel).

MAIN-BRIDGE (XML410 only) - With this setting, the two power amp channels (1 and 2) will be connected in bridge mode. Only the MAIN bus signal will be output from the BRIDGE jack. MODE MAIN MAIN MAIN BRIDGE MON MAIN MAIN BRIDGE

  1. LOW ENHANCE (XML610 and XML910) - This switch turns on or off the LOW ENHANCE processing on and off. The LOW ENHANCE boosts the low frequencies at the speaker outputs. Use the LOW ENHANCE for added bass in situations where you do not have subwoofers.

  2. MUTE CH 1–8 (XML610 and XML910) - You can turn off channels 1–8 on the XML610 or XML910 using the MUTE CH 1–8 switch. This feature is convenient to use when you take a break and want to leave all the levels set, so they are ready when you begin to use your PA system again. The MUTE 1–8 does not turn off channels 9/10, and 11/12, and does not turn off the CD/TAPE inputs.

Speaker Outputs - XML610 & XML910

The XML610 and XML910 powered mixers contain two mono power amplifiers and, depending on the operating mode, the two amplifiers can be used independently for LEFT and RIGHT MAIN outputs or for MONO MAIN + MONITOR outputs.

NOTE: Use the Power Amp MODE switch to select which signal is sent to the speaker output jacks.

The total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohms, therefore, if you want to only connect a single speaker to each amp output, use a 4–8 Ohm speaker.

You can connect up to four speakers at one time. One speaker with an impedance of 8 Ohms can be connected to each of the amp's Speakon and 1/4" jacks. The Speakon and 1/4" jacks are wired in parallel, so the total impedance when two 8 Ohm speakers are connected is 4 Ohms.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS AMP 2 AMP 1 RIGHT MONITOR LEFT MAIN (L+R) 43

  1. AMP 1 Speaker Outputs - The AMP 1 output has one Speakon and one 1/4" phone connector wired in parallel. These powered outputs can be used to connect your left side main PA speaker when using the XML610 or XML910 in MAIN/MAIN mode. When operating in MAIN/MONITOR mode, the AMP 1 powered output connectors are used to connect left and right side MAIN PA speakers.
  2. AMP 2 Speaker Outputs - The AMP 2 output has one Speakon and one 1/4" phone connector wired in parallel. These powered outputs can be used to connect your left side main PA speaker when using the XML610 or XML910 in MAIN/MAIN mode. When operating in MAIN/MONITOR mode, the AMP 2 powered output connectors are used to connect to floor or side fill monitors facing the performers.

Speaker Outputs - XML410

The XML410 contains two mono power amplifiers, and depending on the operating mode, the two amplifiers can be used independently (maximum output 200W + 200W) or in BRIDGE mode (maximum output 400W).

NOTE: Use the front panel Power Amp MODE switch to select which signal is sent to the speaker output jacks, and to activate BRIDGE mode.

If the two power amplifiers are used for MAINS operation, two 8 Ohm speakers can be "daisy-chained" together and connected to the AMP 1 jack, and two more 8 Ohm speakers can be "daisy-chained" together and connected to the AMP 2 jack, for a total of four speakers.

The total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohms. Therefore, in the example above, two speakers with an impedance of 8 Ohms each are connected to each amp's output jacks.

If you wish to use two amplifiers independently, let's say for Main and Monitor operation, use a 4–8 Ohm speaker. Again, the total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohms. Therefore, two speakers with an impedance of 8 Ohms can be "daisy-chained" together and then connected to each amp's output jacks.

If two amplifiers are used in a BRIDGE mode, only one speaker can be connected to the BRIDGE jack. The total impedance load while operating in BRIDGE mode must not be less than 8 Ohms. If you are connecting a speaker to the BRIDGE jack, use an 8–16 Ohm speaker.

CAUTION: When using a BRIDGE connection, do not connect anything to the AMP 1 and AMP 2 jacks. Likewise, when using the AMP 1 and AMP 2 jacks, do not connect anything to the BRIDGE jack.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS AMP 2 BRIDGE AMP 1 MAIN MAIN MODE MAIN MONITOR MONO/MONITOR MAIN 44

  1. AMP 1 Speaker Outputs - The AMP 1 output has one 1/4" phone connector, which is a powered output used to connect your main PA speaker when using the XML410 in MAIN/MAIN mode. When operating in MAIN/MONITOR mode, the AMP 1 powered output connectors are used to connect left and right side MAIN PA speakers.

  2. AMP 2 Speaker Outputs - The AMP 2 output has one 1/4" phone connector, which is a powered output used to connect your main PA speaker when using the XML410 in MAIN/MAIN mode. When operating in MAIN/MONITOR mode, the AMP 2 powered output connectors are used to connect to floor or side fill monitors facing the performers.

  3. BRIDGE Output connector - The BRIDGE output has one 1/4" phone connector, which is a powered output used to connect one main PA speaker when using the XM410 in BRIDGE mode.

Speaker Connection - XML610 & XML910

The XML610 and XML910's power amplifier section can be configured to operate several ways depending on the setting of the Power Amp MODE switch located on the front panel. This allows you to choose whether you need MAIN plus MONITOR amplifiers to power your speakers, or if you just need more power for the MAIN speakers.

There are two ways in which speakers can be connected to the XML power mixer:

1) A single speaker can be connected to either the A or B jack of AMP 1 and AMP 2, or

2) Two speakers can be connected in parallel to both the A and B jacks of AMP1 and AMP 2.

For both of these situations, the required speaker impedance will differ. Refer to the following diagram, and make sure that the speaker impedance is not less than the specified value.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS AMP E AMP 1 RIGHT MONITOR LEFT MAIN L&R1

When connecting one speaker to AMP1 and one speaker to AMP 2, use speakers with a 4–8 Ohm impedance rating.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS AMF 2 AMF 1 RIGHT MONITOR LEFT MAIN (LAR)

When connecting two speakers to AMP 1 and two speaker to AMP 2, use speakers with an 8–16 Ohm impedance rating.

Additional, or alternative amplifiers can be connected to the MAIN OUT and MONITOR output jacks on the front panel.

  1. Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all your system components, including the XML mixer, is turned off. Also, make sure that the volume and gain controls of each channel of the XML mixer and the MAS-TER controls of the MAIN and MONITOR section are turned all the way down.

  2. Connect the cables to your microphone(s) and instrument(s), and insert the other end of the cable firmly into each appropriate input on the XML mixer.

  3. Switch on the power of any peripheral devices, and then power up the XML mixer.

NOTE: Since the XML mixers contains two power amplifiers, it is important to remember the Golden Rule of audio ... "LAST ON, FIRST OFF." This means that when turning on your system, you should always turn your power amplifiers on LAST, and when turning your system off, turn your power amps off FIRST. This helps avoid any loud pops caused by rush current at power up or power down, which can sometimes damage loudspeakers.

  1. Set the MASTER control of the MAIN section to the "5" position.

  2. While speaking into the mic (or playing the instrument), adjust the channel GAIN control so that the "PEAK" LED of the channel lights occasionally, then back it down slightly.

  3. Slowly adjust the channel VOLUME control until the desired level is reached.

  4. If you wish to adjust the tone of each channel, adjust the equalizer controls as desired. You may have to readjust the channel volume.

  5. Use the MAIN section graphic equalizer and MASTER control to adjust the overall volume and tone.

Using the Internal Digital Effects

The XML series of mixers features built-in, high quality, 24-Bit Digital Signal Processors (DSP), offering studio grade effects. The DSP features clean Delay, lush Reverb and multi-effects like Chorus + Delay or Chorus + Reverb. You can also add a broad range of studio quality effects by simply dialing through the 100 presets. The following details the operation of the internal DSP effects:

  1. Connect a mic or instrument to the desired channel and adjust the volume and equalizer to your liking.
  2. Select the desired preset using the EFFECTS SELECT switch. Set the DSP SELECT switch to one of the following 100 effects:

0–9 Performance

10–19 Hall Reverb
20–29 Plate Reverb
30–39 Spring Reverb
40–49 Echo
50–59 Flange + Verb
60–69 Chorus + Verb
70–79 Echo + Verb
80–89 Chorus
90–99 Flange

  1. Once you have selected the desired effect preset, raise the AUX 2 EFX control on the channels you wish to apply the digital effect to.
  2. Use the EFX to MAIN/MON knob in the MAIN/MONITOR section to adjust the EFFECTS Return level. The EFX to MAIN/MON control is the overall level control for the DSP effects processor. If you are not using the mixer in MAIN/MONITOR or BRIDGE mode, be sure to raise the EFX to MAIN/MON control on both the MAIN and MAIN/MONITOR sections so the level of effect is the same in both speakers.

NOTE: If the effect sound is distorted even though the EFX to MAIN/MON is turned down, lower the AUX 2/EFX controls of each channel until you no longer hear distortion.

EFFECTS 88. SELECT EFX ON

Creating a Monitor Mix

Sending an Independent Mix to Monitor Speakers

The XML series mixers allow you to operate the power amplifiers in a MAIN/MONITOR mode. This lets you use one amplifier for speakers facing the audience, and the other amplifier for the monitor speaker facing the musicians. Follow the steps below to create an independent mix for the mount or speakers.

  1. Set the channel MONITOR section and VOLUME control to the "0" position.
  2. Raise the AUX 1/MON controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers.

NOTE: The MONITOR controls are not affected by the level settings of each channel. This allows you to create a mix for the monitors that is independent of the MAIN mix.

  1. Use the graphic equalizer (XML610 and XML910 only) and MASTER controls of the MONITOR sections to adjust the overall volume and tone.

MONITOR .10 .5 0 +3 +6 MAIN / L .10 .5 0 +3 +6 MAIN / R AMP 1 LIMITER AMP 2 PHANTOM ON MONITOR EFX TO MON +12 -12 dB 0 63Hz 160Hz 400Hz 1kHz 2.5kHz 6.4kHz 16kHz MASTER 5 63Hz 160Hz 400Hz 1kHz 2.5kHz 6.4kHz 16kHz

Using an External Effect

Sending an Independent Mix to an External Effects Processor

If you prefer to use an external device for effects processing, you can easily connect the unit using the XML EFX bus. Follow the steps below to interface your processor.

  1. Set the MONITOR section MASTER control to the "0" position. Press the EFX BYPASS switch to disable the internal DSP.
  2. Raise the AUX 2/EFX controls for the channels to which you want the external effect to be applied.
  3. Adjust the EFX LEVEL to the "5" position.
  4. Set the input level of the external effect so that the sound is not distorted, and so that the effect's input meter does not indicate a clipped signal.
  5. Connect the output of the external effect to an available input channel. Be sure to turn the AUX 2/EFX control for that channel all the way down. Use the channel's VOLUME control to adjust the effect return level.

CD/TAPE IN • REC OUT

Playing Back a CD

The XML mixers have a dedicated input for playing back a CD, Tape or MP3 player. To use the CD/TAPE INPUT, follow the steps below.

  1. Turn the TAPE IN VOLUME control and the MASTER level control all the way down.
  2. Follow the "LAST ON, FIRST OFF" rule by turning on your peripheral devices and then turning on the power on the XML mixer.
  3. Adjust the MASTER control of the MAIN section to the "5" position.
  4. Start playback on the CD, Tape or MP3 player. Use the TAPE IN VOLUME control to adjust the level so that the zero LED of the MAIN section peak level meter lights only occasionally. Adjust the master volume control to raise the level, if necessary.

Recording From the XML Mixer

You can record the audio from the XML's mixer section including the MIC, LINE, TAPE IN and AUX inputs to a digital recorder, DAW, DAT or any other type of recorder using the RECORD outputs. Simply connect the mixer's REC OUT to the input jacks of the recorder, as shown in the diagram above.
