[. . . ] CONNECTION Connect XLR microphone cables to the Microphone inputs and to the microphones. Connect the Right and Left Master Outputs to the recording device or amplifier via XLR cables. Stereo headphones are to be connected to the Headphone Output, the Auxiliary input may be connected to another MX442 or other stereo signal source, the Monitor input may be connected to the master mixing board for a monitor or cue mix. OPERATION · Setting the Mic Levels Begin by plugging in the microphone(s). Set the channel Level controls at 3 O'clock, and the Master Level control at approximately 12 O'clock. Speak into the microphone and adjust the Trim control until the average meter reading is 0 VU. For recording in stereo, adjust the Pan control to place the signal in the stereo field. · The Slate and Mic switch Press the Slate button and speak into the Slate Microphone to send the 20Hz slate tone and message to the main outputs and the recording device. · The 400 Hz Tone switch Press in this switch to send a 400 Hz reference tone to the output for setting system levels. · The 20 dB Pad switch Some condenser microphones put out a high amount of signal which makes it difficult to set the Trim and Level controls easily without overloading the gain circuits. The 20 dB Pad switch is pressed in if the microphone is "too hot" or putting out a very high level signal. · The Low Cut switch The Low Cut switch, when pressed in, rolls off the low frequencies starting at 100 Hz. · The Headphone Select Switch There are many instances where different portions of the signal need to be monitored. When microphones are panned to different areas of the stereo field, sometimes one mic may be completely right and another completely left, it may become necessary to monitor each side individually. To monitor the signal present at the Right Main Output, select the "Right" setting. Similarly, set the Headphone Select to "Left" to monitor the Left Main Output. To hear both sides in stereo, select "Ster"; to hear both signals summed together in mono, select "Mono". Finally, hear the stereo signal present at the Monitor Output, select "Monit". · The Monitor Input jack This input receives a 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo signal, and is typically used for monitoring another mixing board at a master location. For example, the Right and Left mix from the MX442 is sent to a master console where a mixing engineer is controlling the audio sent to a main television or radio station. This engineer may need to send cues and other instruction to the person operating the MX442. A mix of the signals sent from the MX442 and the mixing engineer's voice may be sent via a 1/4" TRS stereo line to the MX442 MONITOR IN and the person operating the MX442 can hear both his mix and the mixing engineer.
