20 Basic Operation Basic Operation This section explains basic operation of the EMX88S/EMX68S. 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 EMX88S/EMX68S 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 or the MIC/LINE jack. Note: When connecting a line level device to channels 1-6 (EMX88S), 1-4 (EMX68S), turn on the PAD switch. You cannot use a channel's Low-Z and Hi-Z jacks, and MIC and LINE jacks at the same time. 3 Turn the power on in the order of peripheral devices © EMX88S/EMX68S. Note: When turning the power off, reverse this sequence. 4 Set the MAIN section MASTER control to the "√" position. Adjusts the stereo image of each channel using the PAN or BAL/PAN controls. (Adjust the balance between the left and right volume levels of the sound sources connected to the LINE connectors L/R.) 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. 6 If you wish to adjust the tone of each channel, rotate the equalizer controls as desired. 7 Use the MAIN section graphic equalizer and MASTER control to adjust the overall volume and tone. Sending an independent mix to the monitor speakers 1 Set the MONITOR section MASTER control to the "√" position. 2 Adjust the MONITOR control to increase the level of the channel you want to hear from the monitor speaker, and also adjust so that the peak level meter 0 LED of the monitor section lights up occasionally.
