Carvin PROMIX 7 Instruction Manual

The

PRO-MIX-7

is designed for the DJ who requires professional mixing with the flexibility of

7 channels plus sound effects.

High-end electronics feature ultra low noise circuitry and

SMT

construction giving a crystal clear transparent sound that rivals our larger consoles offering a

notch of performance above the typical DJ mixer.

FEATURES:

• 4 stereo channels with transform switches for any combination of 3 vinyl and 5 CD/line

inputs

• 3 Mic channels for vocals and other sources with

TALKOVER

feature

• Active

LO, MID

and

HI EQs

on each channel are set at

80, 750 and 11.5 k Hz

• 25 dB

EQ

cuts on the 4 main channels

• Input

GAIN

controls on each channel prevent overloading

• 4 segment metering for each main channel, plus 10 segment

MASTER

metering

• Each of the four main channels are assignable to either side of the

A/B CROSSFADER

•

24-BIT

effects with

Reverb, Echo, Chorus

and

Flange

are assignable to either side of the

A/B CROSSFADER

or 3

MIC

channels, with bypass switch. All parameters are easily

changed for rate, damping, decay, depth, time and regeneration.

AUX OUTPUTS

include a separate

ZONE

for

MASTER

or

MONITOR

mix, and a

MONO

output which can be switched into a

SUBWOOFER

output utilizing an internal 150 Hz, 18 dB

per octave crossover.

Both outputs have separate level controls.

The

MONITOR

control center takes it’s input from the

MONITOR MIX

control for critical listen-

ing of the

MASTER

output and

CUE

monitoring from of any of the 4

MAIN

or 3

MIC

channels.

The

MONITOR LEVEL

control drives the powerful built in headphone amp, delivering high vol-

ume levels to all 3 headphone outputs.

SUPERB SOUND

is derived from the extremely low distortion, high "Headroom" design.

A state-of-the art, low noise, balanced

XLR

mic preamp for each channel features a common

mode rejection of better than 78 dB, which means that any possible noise that may come over

your cables is virtually eliminated.

Even the balanced

XLR

output connectors guard your sys-

tem from cable noise.

Distortion is nearly non-existent with

THD

below .01%, which guaran-

tees the purity of your sound.

Hear the difference - your sound will not seem "sterile" or

"processed".

It will be dynamically open and transparent just like it was meant to be!

EASY TO USE

Everything is logically laid out making the

PRO-MIX 7

simple to use, which

helps to eliminate operator error.

24-Bit STEREO DSP EFFECTS

The effects processor with

256 EFFECTS

, include

reverbs, choruses, flanging and echoes, with parameters fully adjustable for; damping, decay,

depth, speed, regeneration and time.

ACTIVE 3 BAND CHANNEL EQ

Provides easy adjustment for the tone you want.

The

LO

frequency controls starts at 20 Hz and continues through 80 Hz for adding solid non-flab-

by bass.

A simple adjustment with the

MID

band, gives you the best sound for vocals or gui-

tar in the very important 750Hz frequency range. The 11.5k Hz

HI

treble control adds sparkle

to your top-end without adding harshness.

Both the

LOW

and

HI

are "shelving", which means

they are effective from 20Hz up to 20k Hz.

ENGINEERED TO LAST

Every

PRO-MIX 7

mixer incorporates a rugged reinforced steel

chassis.

Hidden deep in the heart of these mixers is the “

SMT

” Surface Mount Technology

construction that utilizes surface mounted components to prevent parts from shaking or

vibrating loose. Sealed controls and switches guard against the outside elements while heavy-

duty connectors provide a positive connection to your cables.

Fire retardant

FR-4

military

spec. circuit cards feature double-sided copper construction to guard against noise and radio

frequencies (RF).

Precision 1% tolerances guarantee that your settings will be accurate every

time.

The

PRO-MIX 7

is professionally made in the USA for years of service!
