Step 2: Controls

ULTRAZONE ZMX8210 Controls

The controls of channels 1 – 6 and 7 – 8 are

largely identical as well as the controls of the LEFT,

RIGHT and AUX buses. Channels 1 and 7 plus the LEFT

bus are described exemplarily.

Pressing the switch controls, unless otherwise

noted, activates the described functions, but are

deactivated when not pressed.

Channels 1 – 6

(1)

PAD:

The switch attenuates the input level of

loud signal sources by 20 dB.

(2)

+48 V:

The switch activates the phantom

power for capacitor microphones.

(3)

L, R, AUX:

The three switches route the

channel signals to one or more output buses.

(4)

THRESH

(only Channel 1): The knob selects

the level at which the signal is muted.

When the level of the input signal exceeds the

specified value, the signal of channels 2 – 8 on

the LEFT/RIGHT bus is muted. Apply the Mute

function to fade out music signals as soon as

a microphone on channel 1 is talked into.

(5)

LEVEL:

This knob adjusts the preamplification

and the level with which the input signal is

sent to the selected buses.

(6)

LEDs:

The LEDs show the input levels.

When the CLIP LED lights up, the input level

needs to be attenuated by using the LEVEL

knob

(5)

to prevent clipping. In case the

attenuation is insuffi

cient, use PAD switch

(1)

to attenuate the signal further.

Channels 7 – 8

(7)

MONO:

This switch selects the configuration

of the stereo channels:

•

In mono mode (switch pressed), the channel’s L/R

inputs are mixed together and sent to the LEFT,

RIGHT and AUX buses. In this way, a mono signal

is sent to all output buses at the same time.

•

In stereo mode (switch not pressed), the signal

of the L input is sent to the LEFT bus, the R input

is sent to the RIGHT bus and a mixed L/R signal is

sent to the AUX bus.

(8)

LEDs:

These have the same function as the

control

(6)

. In stereo mode, the LEDs show the

summed level of the input signals L and R.

(9)

LEVEL:

This has the same function as the

control

(5)

. In stereo mode, the control

adjusts the volume level of the L/R signal.

(10)

CH SELECT:

This switch is used either to activate

channel 7 or 8. The active channel is indicated

by the glowing of the corresponding LED.

Main section

(11)

MIC LOW CUT:

This switch cuts low-frequency

rumble below 100 Hz

(12)

MIC MIX:

This switch removes the signal

of channels 1 – 6 from the remote control

function, allowing only the output volume

of channels 7/8 on the LEFT/RIGHT bus to be

remote controlled. When the switch is not

pressed, the total volume of all channels fed

to the LEFT/RIGHT bus are remote controlled.

(13)

RIGHT MUTE:

This switch excludes the RIGHT

bus from the Mute function. This is helpful

when using the RIGHT and LEFT buses for

different zones (rooms).

•

When the switch is pressed, the signal of

channels 1 – 8, which is dependent on

the signal level of channel 1, is muted on

both the LEFT and RIGHT bus. This occurs

when the input level of channel 1 drops

below the specified threshold value

(THRESH

(4)

).

•

When the switch is not pressed, only the

LEFT bus is muted while the RIGHT bus

continues to transmit a signal, provided

the individual channels have been

routed accordingly.

(14)

EQ ON:

The switch activates the equalizer

(15)

for the LEFT and RIGHT bus.

(15)

LOW/LOW MID/HIGH MID/HIGH:

This

knob adjusts the boost/cut of factory-preset

frequencies as follows:

•

LOW: This boosts/cuts frequencies below 70 Hz by

a maximum of ±15 dB.

•

LOW MID: This boosts/cuts frequencies around

300 Hz by a maximum of ±15 dB.

•

HIGH MID: This boosts/cuts frequencies around 3

kHz by a maximum of ±15 dB.

•

HIGH: This boosts/cuts frequencies above 10 kHz

by a maximum of ±15 dB.

Buses

(16)

LEDs:

When the CLIP LED lights up, attenuate

the output level by using the LEVEL knob

(17)

to avoid clipping.

(17)

LEVEL:

This knob adjusts the output level of

the bus outputs OUT L, OUT R and AUX.

Mains

(18)

POWER:

The POWER switch powers up the

mixer. The POWER switch should be in the

Off

position when connecting the unit to

the mains.

Rear Panel

The BUS LINKS connector as well as the channel

inputs 7 and 8 are unbalanced. The other PCB

inputs and outputs are balanced. To use balanced

connectors for unbalanced connections, insert a

jumper wire between the ground pin (m) and the

negative pin (-).

(19)

IEC power receptacle:

The connection to the

mains is established through an IEC connector.

It meets all of the international safety

certification requirements. A fitting power

cord is included.

(20)

REMOTE:

This connector is used for

connecting components to remote control

the ZMX8210.

•

It is possible to connect a simple potentiometer to

remote control the volume of the LEFT and RIGHT

buses (see Chapter 3.1.3).

•

Connect a push-button switch and two control

diodes to remote control the CH SELECT switch

(10)

of channels 7 and 8 (see Chapter 3.1.3).

(21)

BUS LINKS:

Use this connector to link two

ZMX8210s together to provide additional

inputs (signals). The three

output buses

LEFT/RIGHT/AUX are linked together using

the connector. The mute signal of the

ZMX8210 which is set to be the master is also

transmitted so that the mute function of

the master is also able to mute the buses of

the slave.

(22)

SLAVE/MASTER:

The switch places the

ZMX8210 in the master or slave mode

of operation.

When the switch

•

is pressed, the ZMX8210 is placed in the slave

mode of operation.

•

is not pressed, the ZMX8210 is placed in the

master mode of operation.

(23)

AUX/OUT R/OUT L:

Balanced signal outputs

for buses AUX, RIGHT and LEFT.

(24)

INPUTS 7 – 8:

Unbalanced signal inputs

for channels 7 – 8. The connections are

RCA connectors.

(25)

INPUTS 1 – 6:

Balanced signal inputs for

channels 1 – 6.
