INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the AM2442FX or AM3242FX mixers - stylish 24- and 32-input mixers with 16 and 24 balanced mic/line channels and four stereo line channels, combined to make versatile yet brawny mixer. A brand new line of mixers, the AM series broadens already impressive product line. The AM mixers include popular features that go further than most, such as the 16-program Digital Effect Processor driven by an extraordinary 32/40-bit DSP engine. Featuring full gain ranges, low distortion and an incredibly wide dynamic range, the AM mixers are bound to make an impression.
We know how eager you are to get started – wanting to get the mixer out and hook it all up is probably your number one priority right now – but before you do, we strongly urge you to take a look through this manual. Inside, you will find important facts and figures on the set up, use and applications of your brand new mixer. If you do happen to be one of the many people who flatly refuse to read user manuals, then we just urge you to at least glance at the Instant Setup section. After glancing at or reading through the manual (we applaud you if you do read the entire manual), please store it in a place that is easy for you to find, because chances are there's something you missed the first time around.

GETTING STARTED
Quick Setup
- Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To totally ensure this, the AC cable should not be connected to the unit.
- All faders and level controls should be set at the lowest levels to ensure no sound is inadvertently sent through the outputs when the device is switched on. All levels can be altered to acceptable degrees after the device is turned on using the channel setup instructions.
- Plug any necessary equipment into the device's various outputs. This could include amplifiers and speakers, monitors, signal processors, and/or recording devices.
- Plug the supplied power supply into the inlet on the back of the AM mixer and into an AC power outlet of a suitable voltage.
- Turn the power switch on and follow the channel setup instructions to get the most out of your equipment.
Channel Setup
- To ensure the correct audio level of the input channel is selected, each of the level input controls of the Mixer should be turned counterclockwise as far as they will go (which should be the - mark).
- Set the level control of the channel you are setting to the 0 dB mark.
- Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar to the signal that will be sent when in common use. For example, if the channel is using a microphone, then you should speak or sing at the same level the performer normally would during a performance; if a guitar is plugged into the channel, then the guitar should also be strummed as it normally would be (and so on). This ensures levels are completely accurate and avoids having to reset them later.
- Push to Solo button of the channel you wish to set. You should now be able to see the channel's signal in the level meter.
- Engage the Solo / PFL button below the level meter, allowing you to see the input channel's pre-fader signal.
- Adjust the gain level of the selected channel so that the level meter sits around the 0 dB mark.
- This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop making the audio signal.
- You can repeat the same process for other channels.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Mono Input Channels
There are 16 and 24 mono channels on the AM2442FX and AM3242FX, respectively. To follow you will find details on how these channels work; how to make a connection, how to adjust the various controls, and how to ensure you get those most out of your mixer.
1. Microphone Input
These jacks accept typical 3-pin XLR inputs for balanced and unbalanced signals. They can be used in conjunction with microphones – such as professional condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphones - with standard XLR male connectors, and feature low noise preamplifiers, serving for crystal clear sound replication.
NB. When these inputs are used with condenser microphones, the Phantom Power should be activated. However, when Phantom Power button is engaged, single ended (unbalanced) microphones and instruments should not be used on the Mic inputs.
2. Line Input
This input accepts typical 1/4" TRS or TS inputs, for balanced or unbalanced signals. There are various numbers of these inputs depending which mixer you are using. They can be used in conjunction with various line level devices, such as keyboards, drum machines, electric guitars, and a variety of other electric instruments.
3. Insert Point
Located on all mono channels, the primary use for these TRS phone jacks is for the addition of external devices, such as dynamic processors or equalizers, to the corresponding mono input channel. This will require a Y cord that can send and receive signals of the mixer to and from an external processor.
4. Gain Control
This controls the sensitivity of the input signal of the Line and Microphone inputs of mono channels. The gain should be adjusted to a level that allows the maximum use of the audio, while still maintaining the quality of the feed. This can be accomplished by adjusting it to a level slightly below that which will cause the peak indicator to light up.
5. Low Cut Filter
Located on all mono channels, this button will activate a high-pass filter that reduces all frequencies below 75 Hz at 18 dB per Octave, helping to remove any unwanted ground noise or stage rumble. Stereo channels does not feature this low cut filter.
6. High Frequency Control
Use it to give a shelving boost or cut of ±15 dB to high frequency (12 kHz) sounds. This will adjust the amount of treble included in the audio of the channel, adding strength and crispness to sounds such as guitars, cymbals, and synthesizers.
7. Mid Frequency Control
You can provide a peaking style of boost and cut to the level of midrange frequency sounds at a range of ±15 dB with this control. The AM mixers also provide a sweep control, allowing you to select a center frequency between 100 Hz and 8 kHz. Changing middle frequencies of an audio feed can be rather difficult when used in a professional audio mix, as it is usually more desirable to cut middle frequency sounds rather than boost them, soothing overly harsh vocal and instrument sounds in the audio.
8. Low Frequency Control
This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut of ±15 dB to low frequency (80 Hz) sounds. This will adjust the amount of bass included in the audio of the channel, and bring more warmth and punch to drums and bass guitars.
9. AUX Controls
These four AUX controls alters the signal level that is being sent to the auxiliary 1 to 4 mixing buses, the signal of which is suitable for connecting stage monitors, allowing artists to listen to music that is being played. AUX 1 and 2 feature a Pre/Post button, which alternates the feed to the AUX mixing bus between a post and pre-fader feed. AUX 3, on the other hand, acts as an EFX send, the signal of which can be used in conjunction with external signal processors (which can be returned to the mixer via the AUX return input), or simply as an Auxiliary output. Both the AUX 3 (EFX) and AUX 4 controls are post fader and are sent directly to the corresponding outputs.
10. AUX Pre/Post Button
This button allows users to switch the signal sent to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 mixes from the corresponding input channel between a pre-fader and post fader signal. Pushed in, the signal is post-fader; released, it's a pre-fader signal.
11. Pan Control
This alternates the degree or level of the mono audio signal that the left and right channels of the main mix should receive.
12. Mute Button and Indicator
Pushing the Mute button in will cut off the main mix's feed of the corresponding channels signal. If the AUX pre/post button is set to post, the AUX 1 and 2 signals will also be cut off. Muting an input channel is accompanied by the lighting up of the Mute LED.
13. Clip LED
This LED indicator will illuminate when the channel hits high peaks, slightly before the signal is dynamically clipped. It is best to adjust the channel's level control so as to ensure the Clip indicator does not light up. This will ensure a greater dynamic range of audio. This indicator also doubles as a Solo indicator, when the Solo button is engaged.
14. Solo Button
The Solo button is pushed to allow the signal of the corresponding channel to be sent to the Control Room / Phones mix (pre or post fader, depending on the properties selected by the Solo/PFL button located below the level meter), for use with either headphones or studio monitors. This button also allows for easier isolation of individual channel signals, enabling simpler setting of the input gain or tracking of audio by sound engineers. When the Solo button is not engaged, the LED indicator works as a Clip Indicator, illuminating when the signal reaches high peaks.
15. 1-2 and 3-4 Buttons
These two buttons allow users to route the channel's signal to their respective subgroups. There are four subgroups in total. If users wish to send the channel's signal to, say, sub 1 but not sub 2, simply use the channel's pan (turn it hard to the left) to accomplish this.
16. Main Button
Pushing this button in allows the channel's signal to be sent to the Main mix.
17. Channel Fader
This control will alter the signal level that is sent from the corresponding channel to the corresponding mixing buses.
Stereo Input Channels
Stereo channels differ slightly to the mono channels in their connections and controls. To follow you will find a run-down on the differences and what these channels are actually good for.
18. Stereo Inputs
The AM mixers each feature 4 stereo input channels, the inputs of which differ slightly to the mono channels.
The two 1/4" TRS inputs are for the addition of various stereo line level input devices, such as keyboards or drum machines. If you wish to use a monaural device on a stereo return input, simply plug the device's 1/4" phone jack into the left (mono) stereo input and leave the right input bare. The signal will be duplicated to the right due to the miracle of jack normalizing.
19. 4-Band Equalizer
The stereo channels of the AM mixers feature equalizer almost identical to those on mono channels; however instead of a Mid frequency control and sweep control there are High-Mid and Low-Mid controls instead. They provide a peaking style of boost and cut to middle frequencies, where the frequencies are set at 3 kHz and 800 Hz for the High- and Low-Mids respectively.
20. AUX Controls
The AUX controls on stereo channels are the same as on mono channels, however, since the AUX mixes are always mono, any stereo signal will be mixed into a mono signal before being sent to the corresponding AUX mix.
21. Balance Control
This rotary control alternates the degree or level of audio that the left and right side of the main mix should receive. Adjusting the balance control will attenuate the left or right audio signals of the channel accordingly.
22. Mute and Routing Buttons
The Mute, Main, 1-2 and 3-4 buttons on stereo channels do not differ in their operation to mono channels at all. However, it is important to make sure that when the 1-2 and/or 3-4 buttons are pushed that the Balance control is set to the middle, as this will ensure the stereo signal remains a stereo signal.
23. Stereo Channels 21/22 and 23/24 (AM2442FX)
Stereo Channels 29/30 and 31/32 (AM3242FX)
The final 2 stereo channels on both AM mixers feature slightly simplified controls. Here you will find two AUX sends (permanently wired to be pre-fader, useful in monitoring), a level control and Solo button. As there are no routing switches, the signal is permanently sent to the Main mix (and appropriate AUX mixes).
Subgroups
The Subgroups on the AM mixers allow users to create single mono or stereo mixes of multiple input channels and control them with a single fader. It is also common to use the Group outputs as tape-outputs for connecting to multi-track recorders.
24. Solo Buttons
The solo button allows the Group signal to be sent pre or post fader (depending on the SOLO/PFL button settings) to the Control Room / Phones mix, allowing users to be able to monitor the subgroup signal. When activated, the Solo LED will light up to indicate as such.
25. Left / Right Buttons
The Group Controls also feature individual left and right buttons, which allow you to send the various Group signals to the Main Left and Right. This can be handy when wanting to combine the signals from different signals and control their input levels simultaneously, then send them to the Main L/R signal (eg. when multiple inputs are used for, say, drums, you can combine these inputs together much simpler by a single fader).
26. Faders
These four faders are the final level control for the Group 1 to 4 audio feeds, sent to the corresponding Group outputs on the rear of the AM mixers to feed external devices such as effect processors, and, most commonly, multi-track recorders. The Group mix can be fed a signal from the various mono and stereo channels, as well as the EFX signal, depending on your selections. When pushed all the way up, these faders provide 10 dB of gain to the signal, and, when set all the way down, effectively mute the signal.
27. Group Outputs
These 1/4" phone jacks output the final feed from the Group mixes 1, 2, 3 and 4, the level of which is determined by the Group Faders. They can be used to feed a variety of recording and PA devices, including multi-track recorders, amplifiers and speakers, etc.
Mono / Subwoofer Channel
The Mono output is used as an auxiliary output (the signal of which is taken from the main mix), and can be connected to an amplifier and speakers. The included low pass filter enables the signal of the mono output to be more appropriate for use with a subwoofer speaker, to add a little extra bass to your sound.
28. Low Pass Filter
The low pass filter is activated by moving the small slide switch to the ON position. The accompanying control allows users to adjust the cut-off frequency of the filter. If users wish to use the Mono channel for monitoring or other similar purposes, the low pass filter should not be activated.
29. Mono Fader
This fader controls the level of the mono signal that is sent to the mono outputs.
30. Mono Output
The line-level signal sent from the Mono output can be used to connect to an amplifier or active speaker. It is also possible to use this output for monitoring purposes, with headphones or active monitors.
Talkback Section
Handy in studios or on stage, the talkback function built into the AM mixers allows engineers or producers – anyone, really – to communicate with the performers wherever they may be.
31. Talkback Level Control
This control adjusts the level of the talkback signal that is sent to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 outs.
32. Talk to AUX Button
Holding this button down activates the AM's built-in talkback microphone, the signal of which is sent to the AUX 1 and 2 outputs. Keep the button pushed down until you finish speaking.
33. Talkback Mic
Point your mouth here when wishing to communicate with the performer/musician.
Control Room & Phones
The Control Room and Phones mixes are useful for monitoring of audio signals. It is important to remember, particularly when using headphones, that listening to excessively loud audio signals for prolonged periods of time could adversely affect your hearing.
34. Level Control
This rotary control will allow users to adjust the audio level of the Control Room / Phones signal (as received by input channels, and those chosen by the Source Select buttons). If active monitors are used with the Control Room / Phones output, then this control acts as the monitor level control.
35. Source Select
This set of buttons allows users to select which signals they wish to send to the Control Room / Phones output. There is a button each for the AUX 1/2, CD/Tape, 1-2, 3-4 and Main mixes. These signals can be monitored simultaneously, if wished.
36. Control Room / Phones Output
This 1/4" outputs feeds the signal altered by the Control Room / Phones level control on the face of the mixer to an external speaker or headphones. This output has extensive use, as it can be used to feed the signal from the mixer to an active monitor, for the monitoring of the audio signal from within a booth, among many other possible uses.

CD/Tape Ins & Outs
The CD/Tape section allows for external consumer-level devices, such as CD players or tape recorders, to be incorporated into the mixer.
37. To Main Control
This control adjusts the level of the signal received through the CD inputs that is sent to the Main mix.
38. Standby Button
The Standby button is used to mute all input channels of the AM mixers. In this instance, the CD/Tape input will still be in use, allow music to be played between sets while ensuring no microphones inadvertently pick up any audio. The main level fader can remain in its normal position, ensuring you don't lose your mix.
39. CD / Tape Ins & Outs
These stereo RCA connectors allow users to send signals to and from the mixer, allowing devices such as CD players and tape recorders/players to be used in conjunction with your setup. Signals received by the CD/Tape inputs are adjusted by the "to Main" control.
Auxiliary Section
The Auxiliary outputs are included on this mixer as a way to enable users to have a secondary signal for whatever purpose necessary, whether it be for connecting to signal processors or to active monitors.
40. AUX Send Controls
These three controls are for adjusting the audio level that is sent to the corresponding AUX outputs, the signal of which is initially taken from each channel's individual AUX send controls. Pushing the accompanying SOLO button will send the three AUX sends to the Control Room / Phones mix (pre or post fader, depending on the Solo / PFL button) and be accompanied by an illuminated LED.
41. AUX Send Outputs
These four 1/4" phone jacks will output the corresponding AUX send signals. These can be connected to external processing devices, and subsequently returned to the AUX Return inputs. They may also be used with active monitors, if required.
42. AUX Return Inputs
These four 1/4" phone jacks make up 2 stereo AUX return inputs. They can be used to return a signal to the mixer that has been sent to an external processing device and send the signal to the Main mix.
Graphic Equalizer
The 9-band graphic equalizer will allow users to alter the various frequencies of the audio in their Main or AUX 1 mixes, for reducing feedback and adapting audio to suit room acoustics.
43. Equalizer
This stereo 9-band equalizer allows users to cut and boost the indicated frequencies by 12 dB. When the FBD (feedback detection) button is in the 'in' position, these sliders will light up to indicate that the corresponding frequency may be causing feedback or have the potential to cause feedback. This allows users to reduce the level to avoid feedback from occurring.
44. FBD In Button
Push this button to activate the feedback detection circuit. This allows the sliders on the EQ to illuminate problem frequencies.
45. Main / AUX Button
This button determines which signal will be processed by the graphic equalizer. The AUX 1/2 and Main signals are selectable.
46. EQ In Switch
Pushing this switch will turn the graphic equalizer on and off.
Digital Effect Processor
The built-in digital effect processor encompasses a 32/40-bit digital processor and features 16 preset programs. For a completel list of effects, please observe the Digital Effects Table.
47. Program Control
This rotary control allows users to select the digital effect program of your choice. There are 16 points on the rotary control, each of which corresponds with an effect type. See the digital effect table for more information.
48. Parameter Control
Turning this control will adjust the one main parameter of the selected effect. Each effect's parameter can be found on the digital effect table.
49. EFX Send Control
This rotary control will adjust the level of the output signal at the AUX 4 send jack, as well as determine the amount of audio the built-in effects processor will receive. When this control is set to it's minimum position, neither the AUX 4 send nor the effect processor will receive a signal.
50. FX to AUX 1 Control
This control allows users to send the signal processed by the effects processor to the AUX 1 send mix, allowing for monitoring of the signal.
51. FX to AUX 2 Control
This control allows users to send the signal processed by the effects processor to the AUX 2 send mix, allowing for monitoring of the signal.
52. FX to Main Control
The FX to Main control will allow users to adjust the EFX signal that is sent to the Main or Group 1/2 mixes, as determined by the Main/Group button.
53. Main / Group Buttons
These button on the left (Main L/R / Group) allows users to send the signal processed by the effect processor to either the Main or Group mixes. If this button is set to Group, using the Group 1/2 / Group 3/4 button will determine which of the group mixes the signal will be sent. If the Main L/R / Group button is set to Main, the Group 1/2 / Group 3/4 button will be rendered useless.
54. Footswitch Jack
The foot switch port is for the inclusion of a foot switch, used for remote activation and deactivation of the built-in Digital Effect processor.
Master Section
The master section of the mixer features all the goodies: the level meter, main level fader, +48V and power indicators, the solo/PFL button, and so on and so forth. This is where a lot of the magic happens, so take care not to miss anything.
55. +48V Indicator
This LED indicator will light up when Phantom Power is activated. To turn the AM's Phantom Power on or off, simply flick the switch on the rear of the mixer.
56. Power Indicator
The Power Indicator will light up when the power of the mixer is on.
57. Level Meter
The dual 12 segment level meter gives an accurate indication of when audio levels of the Main L/R signal reach certain levels. The 0 dB indicator illuminates is approximately equal to an output level of +4 dBu (balanced), and the PEAK indicator illuminates about 1.5 dB before the signal is dynamically clipped. It is
advised that users set the various level controls so that the signal level sits steadily around the 0 dB mark, to make full use of audio while still maintaining fantastic clarity.
58. Solo / PFL Switch
Located underneath the Level Meter, this button alters the Solo signals received by the Control Room / Phones mix between Post (solo) and Pre (PFL) fader signals. Whether set to Solo or PFL, one of the corresponding LED indicators will light up to indicate the current setting. If adjusting a signal with the Control Room / Phones level control, it is advisable that this button is set to Solo, ensuring the signal is independent of any channel faders.
59. Main Fader
The Left and Right main mix is controlled with this fader – the final level control for the Main Left and Right audio feeds, sent to the Main L and R outputs. When pushed all the way up, the Main L/R fader provides 10 dB of gain to the signal, and when set all the way down, the signal is effectively muted.
60. Main Outputs
These outputs will output the final stereo line level signal sent from the main mixing bus. The primary purpose of the two XLR jacks is to send the main output to external devices, which may include power amplifiers (and in-turn, a pair of speakers), other mixers, as well as a wide range of other possible signal processors (equalizers, crossovers, etcetera). The two 1/4" phone jacks are able to send the Main output to external devices that may run in parallel with the mixer. This may include additional power amplifiers, mixers, PA systems, as well as a wide range of other possible signal processors.
61. Main Insert Point
Like the Insert Points on input channels, the primary use for these TRS phone jacks is for the addition of external devices, such as dynamic processors or equalizers, to the Main L and R mix. This will require a Y cord that can send (pre-fader) and receive signals to and from an external processor. When the main insert is in use, it will affect the signal sent to both the 1/4" and XLR main outputs.
Rear Panel
62. Phantom Power
When this switch is in the on position, it activates +48V of phantom power for all microphone inputs, allowing condenser microphones (well, the ones that don't use batteries) to be used on these channels. Activating Phantom Power will be accompanied by an illuminated LED above the left channel Level Meter. Before turning Phantom Power on, turn all level controls to a minimum to avoid the possibility of a ghastly popping sound from the speakers.
NB. Phantom Power should be used in conjunction with balanced microphones. When Phantom Power is engaged, single ended (unbalanced) microphones and instruments should not be used on the Mic inputs. Phantom Power will not cause damage to most dynamic microphones, however if unsure, the microphone's user manual should be consulted.
63. Power Switch
You can use it to turn the mixer on and off. Ensure you turn all level controls down before activating.
64. Power Connector
Used for the addition of a power cable and supply, allowing power to be supplied to the mixer. Please use the power cable that is included with this mixer only. The Fuse holder, located above the AC Power connector, is, of course, for the AM mixer's fuse. If the fuse happens to blow, open the holder cover, and replace the fuse with a suitable replacement (as indicated on the fuse holder's cover).
