SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

ELECTRICAL SECURITY

Check that the current in the mains connection where the machine is to be installed corresponds to the power supply of the machine.

To avoid damaging the equipment, electrical shocks, fire or physical injury when you connect or disconnect the equipment from the power supply, pull the plug firmly out of the mains socket holding the plug, never the cable.

Always do this with dry hands.

Keep the power supply cable far from sources of heat. Do not put heavy objects on top of it or change it.

Clean dust and dirt off the power supply cable regularly.

Do not open the machine; you could get an electric shock.

CAUTION

While installing the machine, make sure it is switched off and unplugged.

Do not open the machine. Touching the internal parts is dangerous and you could receive an electric shock.

The machine must not be splashed or dripped on. Never place recipients with liquid inside on the machine.

Do not place anything inside the machine.

LOCATION

Place the equipment on a horizontal surface with enough space around it to allow ventilation.

Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and excessive dust.

Do not place the machine near magnetic fields or static electricity.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

FRONT PANEL

1 ON OFF POWER MIC 1 MIC 2 MIC 3 MIC 4 MIC 5 MIC 6 MIC 7 MIC 8 MIC 9 MIC 10 MIC 11 MIC 12 FONESTAR MASTER VOLUME

1.- POWER: on/off switch and LED power indicator.
2.- MIC 1-12: volume control for microphone MIC 1-12 inputs.
3.- MASTER VOLUME: volume control for the output signal.

REAR PANEL

MIC 12 MIC 11 MIC 10 MIC 9 MIC 8 MIC 7 MIC 6 MIC 5 MIC 4 MIC 3 MIC 2 MIC 1 MCCS OUTPUT PHANTOM 48 V CE -32V 5V CH. 10 P 4

1.- MIC 1-12: microphone inputs with XLR connector. Balanced, unbalanced signals and dynamic or condenser microphones can be connected. If phantom power supply is required, the mixer itself supplies 48V through the XLR connector activating the 48V phantom selector on the rear panel.
2.- MASTER OUTPUT: unbalanced stereo output through XLR connector and 2 x RCA connector.
3.- PHANTOM 48 V: switch allowing the phantom power supply to be activated or deactivated for inputs MIC 1-12. The mixer supplies 48 V DC in the XLR terminals of the microphone MIC 1-12 inputs. 4.- Power supply voltage selector.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Maintain the mixer switched off while the connections are being made.

Check that the cable connectors are firmly connected to the input connectors. A bad connection could cause noise or interference.

Use suitable cables and that are not excessively long to make the connections: shielded cables, preferably low capacity.

Always start with the mixer volume controls at a minimum. Move the controls slowly.

Connect the source to the mains.

When not using the mixer disconnect the power supply source from the mains to avoid using electricity.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Up to 12 microphones (either dynamic or condenser) can be connected. If the microphone being used needs PHANTOM power supply, activate it.

The MASTER OUTPUT can be connected to a power amp or to auto-amplified loudspeakers.
