AUX 1~8 CONTROLS This knobs control the level of the signals sent to AUX buses. - The AUX 1 ~ AUX 4 controls are pre-fader, and the signal levels sent to the AUX 1 ~ AUX 4 buses will be unaffected by the channel fader setting. - The AUX 5/AUX 7 and AUX 6/AUX 8 controls will be affected by the POST/PRE SELECT SWITCH and SHIFT 7/8 SIGNAL SELECT SWITCH setting. 9. AUX 5~8 POST/PRE SELECT SWITCH - Post ( , RELEASED SWITCH): Selects post-fader signal from the point in the channel after the MUTE OFF. Because signal feeding this position will be subject to any adjustments to that channels inputs fader, this position is usually preferred for effects or echo mixes. - Pre ( , DEPRESSED SWITCH): Pre-Fader signal is taken from the stage preceding the fader EQ, so it is not affected by the channel’s fader. 10. AUX 5~8 SIGNAL SELECT SWITCH (SHIFT) This SHIFT 7/8 SWITCH connects the two level controls (as a pair) to either AUX 5 & 6 sends or to AUX 7 & 8 sends. When this switch turns on, the AUX signal will be shifted from AUX 5/AUX 6 to AUX 7/AUX 8. In this case, you can adjust AUX 7/AUX 8 signal with AUX 5/AUX 6 controls.

PAN CONTROL FOR MIX-B The PAN control routes the channel’s MIX-B signal across the left and right MIX-B buses. 12. LEVEL CONTROL FOR MIX-B The LEVEL control sets the level of the channel sent to the MIX-B buses. The gain structure of the circuit (like the AUX send 1-6 circuit) includes extra amplification. 13. SPLIT EQ SELECTOR Each channel strip has a dual signal path with extremely flexible switching. This allows either the mic/line input or tape return inputs to be routed through either the channel fader path or MIX-B with separate EQ and monitoring. The SPLIT switch in the MIX-B section sprits the EQ section of the channel when depressed. In the up-position, all four sections of EQ remain, if engaged, in the primary channel signal path feeding the channel fader and the 8plus 2 buses. In this mode there is no equalization in the MIX-B path. When SPLIT switch is depressed, the HI and LO shelving sections of the EQ are removed from the channel signal and inserted into the MIX-B signal path. The HI-MID and LO-MID parametric sections of the EQ remain, if engaged, in the channel signal path. The SPLIT function allows you to EQ the channel’s signal and its MIX-B signal separated. 8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE 14. SOURCE SWITCH When the MIX-B SOURCE switch is up, MIX-B receives its input from the FLIP switch(5). Remember, the FLIP switch alternates MIC/LINE or TAPE to channel strip and to MIX-B. - With TAPE as an input (SOURCE up to select the FLIP switch, and MIC/LINE or TAPE switch in the up position), the MIX-B section functions as a tape monitor sub-mix, allowing you to listen to the inputs and outputs of your multi-track recorder as you record. This is the most common use of the MIX-B section, during tracking and overdubbing. - With MIC/LINE as an input (SOURCE up to select the FLIP switch, and MIC/LINE or TAPE switch in the down position), MIX-B becomes an additional input to add tracks or effects during a mix-down. - With CHANNEL as an input (SOURCE down in CHANNEL position), MIX-B taps its signal from the channel strip, just before the channel fader. 15. PAN CONTROL This control adjusts the stereo position of the signal between the stereo L/R buses, and also between odd and even pairs of Buses 1 through 8. This control allows you to place the channel’s input signal within the stereo image by assigning more or less of the signal to the left or right sub-master controls. Turning the Pan control to the left (odd/L) of center moves the apparent source toward the left channel and Group 1, 3, 5 ,7 buses, turning it to the right moves the source toward the right channel and Group 2, 4, 6, 8 buses. 16. CHANNEL MUTE SWITCH When this switch is off, the signal of each channel will be sent to the MAIN MIX L/R buses, the Group 1~8 buses and AUX 1~8 buses. When this switch is on, the output signal to each bus will be muted completely. This switch should be turned on for unused channels. The channel’s mute switch does not affect the channel’s insert output, direct output. 17. BUS ASSIGN SWITCH When these switchs are engaged, the channel’s input signal can be routed to the 8 group busses. In conjunction with selecting the group routing, the position of the channel’s pan control determines if a signal is routed to Group 1 or 2, 3 or 4, 5 or 6, Group 7 or 8 and/or Mix L or R. If the pan control is panned left, it will be routed Group 1, 3, 5,7 and/or Mix L; if the pan control is panned right, the signal will appear at Group 2, 4, 6, 8 and/or Mix R. 18. CHANNEL FADER The100-mm audio taper fader controls the output level of the channel that is fed to the Mix master and Sub Group masters. The channel fader should optimally be set near the “o” level when all other controls are set to their normals. 19. SOLO SWITCH The channel SOLO switch assigns the output of the channel PAN control to the stereo solo buses. SOLO does not interrupt the eight sub-masters, the L/R Mix OUT or the AUX sends, and can be used at any time without affecting the recording process. SOLO is handy for spot-checking the presence and quality of individual input while setting up, recording and mixing. The channel SOLO function is normally post fader/post mute.

CHANNEL MUTE SWITCH When this switch is engaged, the signal of each stereo channel will be muted in the MAIN MIX L/R buses, the Group1~8 buses and AUX 3~4 buses. The channel MUTE switch does not affect the pre-position of the AUX 1 & 2 signal on the STEREO 1, 3 PANEL, but, it affect the post-position of the AUX3 & 4 signal on the STEREO 2, 4 PANEL. 9. CHANNEL SOLO SWITCH The channel SOLO switch assigns the output of the channel PAN control to the stereo solo buses. 10. CHANNEL FADER This fader controls the output level of the input channel signal, determining the volume balance between channels. The channel fader should be lowered for unused channels. PAD SWITCH (STEREO INPUT SENSITIVITY SELECT) If you select STEREO INPUT SENSITIVITY to either -10dB or +4dB. Look at the STEREO INPUT PC Board. The PAD SWITCH is setted -10dB position initially on STEREO INPUT PC Board. This switch selects the appropriate gain for the input signal level. The sensitivity is -10dB when the switch is slided toward left hand side, and +4dB when it is slided toward right hand side. 10 CMX-1668/2468/3268 8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE CMX-1668/2468/3268 11 8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE 3.

If a plug is inserted only in L/MONO, the same signal will be sent to both the L and R buses. 2. 6 AUX RETURN JACKS These are unbalanced 1/4” phone jacks with a nominal level and impedance of +4dB/10kΩ. These jacks are usually used to receive the audio returned from an effect unit such as reverb or delay, but they can also be used as supplementary inputs. If a plug is inserted only in L/MONO, the same signal will be sent to both the L and R buses. These allow you to return signal from outboard devices, either in stereo pairs or mono phonically (many popular effects processors provide a single mono input but have a pair of stereo outputs). In practice, you’ll probably want to use the Auxiliary returns to bring in signal from connected effects processors. If the effects processors have stereo outputs, they should be connected to both the left and right Auxiliary return inputs so that their stereo integrity is retained. If they have mono outputs, you can route them to either the left or right inputs and then use the Auxiliary return Balance control to adjust the relative level of each paired signal. 3. 8 AUX SEND JACKS These are unbalanced 1/4” phone jacks with a nominal output and impedance of +4dB/600Ω. The AUX SEND output signal is the sum of all of the input channel AUX SENDS. 4. 8 GROUP OUTPUT JACKS These connectors deliver the main GROUP output signal to the power amplifiers which will drive the main house speakers in a sound reinforcement system.

MIX-B OUT CONNECTOR The MIX-B jacks are 1/4” TRS unbalanced, with tip high, and ring and sleeve tied together as ground, nominal level +4dB/600Ω. These jacks make the MIX-B signal available for external patching. 9. 2-TRACK IN CONNECTOR The 2-TRACK IN jacks are 1/4” TRS unbalanced, with tip high, and ring and sleeve tied together to ground. Usually, you will have the 2TRACK INPUT connected to the output of your 2-Track master record. 10. EXTERNAL INPUT CONNECTOR The EXTERNAL INPUT jacks are 1/4” TRS unbalanced, with tip high, and ring and sleeve tied together to ground. These inputs offer you the ability to listen to two mono or stereo sources directly, without patching through input channels. 11.

Initial Wiring Considerations - For optimum performance, it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noise free, as all signal are referenced to this earth. A central point should be decided on for the main earth point system, and all earths should be ‘star fed’ from this point. It is common electrical practice to ‘daisy chain’ the earths to all electrical outlets but this method is unsuitable for audio installations. The preferred method is to run an individual earth wire from each outlet, back to the system star point to provide a safety earth screen reference for each piece of equipment. A separate earth wire should also be run from each equipment rack and area, to the star point. This may or may not be used depending on circumstances, but it is easier to install in the first place, than later when problems arise. The location of the star point should be convenient, easily accessible place preferably at the chassis of the console, or in the main equipment rack. - Install separate ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ mains outlets, wired individually back to the incoming mains distribution box. Use the ‘clean’ supply for all audio equipment and the ‘dirty’ supply for all lighting, vending machines etc. Never mix the two systems. - If necessary, to provide sufficient isolation from mains borne interference, install an isolating transformer. This should be provided with a Faraday Shield which must be connected with earth. - Never locate the incoming mains distribution box near audio equipment, especially tape recorders, which are very sensitive to electro-magnetic fields. - Ensure that all equipment racks are connected to earth, via a separate wire back to the star point. - Equipment which has unbalanced inputs and outputs may need to be isolated from the rack to prevent earth loops.

Shielding Audio equipment is supplied with a variety of input and output configurations, which must be taken into consideration when deciding where the screen connections should be made. There are three sources of unwanted signal being impressed on the screen, which are as follows; - Extraneous electrostatic or electromagnetic fields. - Noise and interference on the earth line. - Capacitive coupling between the screen and signal wires. To minimize the adverse affects of the unwanted coupling to the signal wires, it is important that the screen is connected at one end only, i.e. the screen must not carry any signal current. Any signal on the wires within the screen will be capacitively coupled to the screen. This current will ultimately be returned to the source of the signal, either directly, if the screen is connected at the signal source end, or indirectly via the earthing system, if the signal is connected at the signal destination end. The indirect connection will cause an increase in high frequency cross-talk, and should be avoided wherever possible. Therefore, in general, always connect the shield only at the signal source end. in high RF areas, the screen can also be connected to earth via a 0.01µF capacitor. This will present a short circuit at RF frequencies, thus lowering effective shield impedance to ground. However, at low audio frequencies the reactance of the capacitor will be sufficiently high not to cause an earth loop problem. 28 CMX-1668/2468/3268 8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE Points to Remember - In all cases, use good quality twin screened audio cable. Check for instability at the output. - Always connect both conductors at both ends, and ensure that the screen is only connected at one end. - Do not disconnect the mains earth from each piece of equipment. This is needed to provided both safety and screen returns to the system star point. - Equipment which has balanced inputs and outputs may need to be electrically isolated from the equipment rack and/or other equipment, to avoid earth loops. It is important to remember that all equipment which is connected to the mains it a potential source of hum and interference and may radiate both electrostatic or electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the mains will also act as a carrier for many forms of RF interference generated by electric motors, air-conditioning units, thyristor light dimmers etc. Unless the earth system is clean, all attempts to improve hum noise levels will be futile. In extreme cases there will be no alternative but to provide a completely separate and independent ‘technical earth’ to replace the incoming ‘noisy earth’. However, always consult your local electricity supply authority to ensure that safety regulations are not being infringed. CMX-1668/2468/3268 29 8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE Audio Connectors Two different types of audio connectors are used, 3-pin XLR and 1/4” there pole (‘A’ gauge) jacks.

For example, the telescoping shield concept is nearly impossible to use on a portable cable. Similarly, it is a difficult and time consuming process to search for a water pipe ground every time the system is moved from one performance to another. Yet portable systems can be extremely complex, and may have major grounding problems. The telescoping shield concept can be extended to portable systems by installing a ”ground lift switch” on the output of each device, and on the inputs of devices after the mixer. Since microphones are not grounded except through the mixer, there is on need for an input ground lift switch on most mixers. The diagram below shows a typical ground lift switch installation. By judicious use of these switches, each piece of equipment can be AC grounded for safety without causing ground loops. Because of leakage currents from equipment in the audio system, and in the house, some noise currents can ride on the AC ground wire and are able to enter the audio system. This problem is usually most noticeable with sensitive equipment such as the mixer.Lifting the AC ground at the mixer can often solve this problem. However, lifting the AC ground on the mixer also lifts the AC ground on the microphone chassis, causing a safety hazard. Try connecting the mixer and any other sensitive equipment to other AC circuits. The only other apparent solution to this problem is to eliminate the noise on the AC ground, which is not an easy task. Since it has its own ground, a portable AC power distribution system connected to the house service entrance may be the most effective way to avoid all AC noises. Such a system can be designed and constructed by a qualified electrician; check local electrical codes before each use. USE OF GROUND LIFT SWITCH Balanced Portable Cable with Shield Intact Devices with Balanced Inputs & Outputs Ground Lift Switch Installed in Box or on Rack Panel Main AC Ground Perhaps the best answer to portable system grounding problems, PFI, EMI, and AC noise, is to develop a versatile grounding scheme. Ground lift switches and adapters, and a portable AC power distribution system allow different grounding techniques to be tried easily and quickly when a problem occurs.

PA and Sound Reinforcement From a features standpoint, 8 Bus Series consoles are easy to configure for public address and sound reinforcement applications, whether you are mixing the house, stage monitors or both at once. Use the L/R main mix buses and your main L/R outputs as your main signal path. If you want a headphone cue mix, either patch the Control Room outputs to a suitable headphone amplifier or select MONITOR as the source for phones. This will allow you to listen to any source you can select for the CONTROL ROOM. You can also use the solo buses as headphone cue. If you prefer, you can modify the solo circuits for PFL (pre fader listen). You should normally use the L/R Mix buses as your Main or House feed. Patch out from the L/R outputs into the input to your amp stack (usually your House graphic equalizer). Any of the AUX buses can be used to feed a stage monitor mix. Set the AUX sends in each channel to PRE and patch the AUX send outputs to the appropriate amplifiers. If you need to provide a simultaneous mix for a stereo recording, use the MIX-B buses. - FOLLOW THIS SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE FOR EACH CHANNEL IN USE 1) Assign signal to channel fader: If channel will be used with a microphone, MIC/LINE switch should be up & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch should be up. If channel will be used with line input, MIC/LINE switch should be down & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch should be up. 2) Set channel strip controls as follows: TRIM pot all the way counterclockwise AUX SEND controls all the way counterclockwise LOW-CUT switch either on or off (on recommended for mic inputs) Channel fader at UNITY PAN pot hard left or right SOLO switch on (for monitoring) 3) The channel’s -10dB Led should light. The L/R main meters will show the actual internal operating level. Now you will optimize levels. 4) Adjust the TRIM control clockwise to get peaks that regularly hit 0dB on the L/R meters. 5) If you use EQ, adjust the TRIM control after EQ controls set up. 6) Repeat Steps 1-4 on the next channel that is being used. CMX-1668/2468/3268 33 8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE 2. Recording System The recording process can be as simple as one microphone recorded on a monaural tape record. As in the PA sound reinforcement system shown previously, balanced microphones are plugged directly into the channel XLR input connectors, while unbalanced electronic instrument outputs (synthesizers,etc.) are connected via a balancing transformer type direct box. Compressors are connected at the insert jacks of the vocal mic channels, the AUX SENDS and RETURN connectors are connected to a high-quality stereo plate reverb unit. The PHONES OUT connectors feed separate headphone amplifiers providing two different headphone cue mixes for the performers. The CONTROL ROOM OUT and STUDIO OUT connectors feed the monitor system, and the GROUP OUT & TAPE IN connectors feed the 4-channel multi-track recorder. - FOLLOW THIS SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE FOR EACH CHANNEL IN USE 1) Assign signal to channel fader: If channel will be used with a microphone, MIC/LINE switch should be up & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch should be up. If channel will be used with line input, MIC/LINE switch should be down & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch should be up. If channel will be used with a tape input, MIC/LINE or TAPE switch should be down. 2) Set channel strip controls as follows: TRIM pot all the way counterclockwise AUX SEND controls all the way counterclockwise LOW-CUT switch either on or off (on recommended for mic inputs) Channel fader at UNITY PAN pot hard left or right SOLO switch on (for monitoring) 3) If the channel is being used for a tape input during mix-down, roll and already-recorded track from your recorder. 4) The channel’s -10dB Led should light. The L/R main meters will show the actual internal operating level. Now you will optimize levels. 5) Adjust the TRIM control clockwise to get peaks that regularly hit 0dB on the L/R meters. 6) If you use EQ, adjust the TRIM control after EQ controls set up. 7) Repeat Steps 1-5 on the next channel that is being used. 34 CMX-1668/2468/3268 8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE Applications-1 PA & SOUND REINFORCEMENT CONNECTION Reverb 2 IN OUT Reverb 1 DAT or Cassette Deck IN OUT Keyboard or other line level input OUT Stage Monitors 12 PROT CLIP 20dB 11 10 9 8 40dB 6 5 4 1 8 7 6 40dB 5 4 20dB PROT CLIP 3 2 22 29 54 POWER 0 11 10 9 13 15 17 19 POWER AMPLIFIER 3 2 22 29 54 12 M 2000 7 13 15 17 19 1 0 Keyboard or other line level input M-SERIES (Amplifier) P-SERIES (Amplifier) EQ-9231 GRA PHIC EQUA LIZER PEAK 12 LO-CUT 12 OFF ON 0 0 LEFT EQ 12 12 25 32 40 50 63 80 100 125 160 200 250 315 400 500 630 800 1K 1.25K 1.6K 2K 2.5K 3.15K 4K 5K 6.3K 8K 10K 12.5K 16K 20K POWER OFF ON 20 LEVEL PEAK 12 LO-CUT ON 12 OFF ON RIGHT 0 0 12 12 OFF EQ OFF ON 20 Keyboard or other line level input 25 32 40 50 63 80 100 125 160 200 250 315 400 500 630 800 1K 1.25K 1.6K 2K 2.5K 3.15K 4K 5K 6.3K 8K 10K 12.5K 16K 20K LEVEL EQ-9231 (Graphic Equalizer) Some as AUX Send 6 Vocal Microphones RS-3200 POWER SUPPLY POWER ON OFF ON ON RS-3200 (POWER SUPPLY) 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 8BUS MIXING CONSOLE POWER 9 8 7 TAPE RETURN 6 5 4 3 2 1 MADE IN KOREA RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN MODEL NO.
