Basic Operation 19 Basic Operation This section explains basic operation of the EMX66M. Connecting microphones and instruments 1 Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all equipment (where applicable) is turned off. Also make sure that the level controls of each channel of the EMX66M and the MASTER control of the MAIN section are turned down. 2 Connect cables to your mics and instruments, and insert the other end of the cable firmly into the appropriate Low-Z/ Hi-Z jack (channels 1-4) or the MIC jack (channels 5-6), LINE jack (channels 5), Super Hi-Z jack (channels 6). Note: When connecting a line level device to channels 1-4, turn on the PAD switch. You cannot use a channel's Low-Z and Hi-Z jacks at the same time. The MIC and LINE jacks, or the MIC and Super Hi-Z jacks, however, can be used at the same time. 3 Turn the power on in the order of peripheral devices © EMX66M. Note: When turning the power off, reverse this sequence. 4 Set the MAIN section MASTER control to the "√" position. 5 While speaking into the mic (while playing the instrument), adjust the channel LEVEL control so that the 0 LED of the MAIN section peak level meter lights occasionally.
