1. Trim – Sets the channel’s input level. Adjust this so that the Peak LED lights on the

loudest passages and then back it down so it no longer peaks.

2. Peak LED – The LED will flash if the signal is clipping. If this happens, decrease the

setting of the Gain knob or Channel fader.

Note: Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs. Clipping occurs when the power amplifier is distorting and working beyond its limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.

3. Hi EQ – Provides up to 15dB of boost or cut to the 12 KHz frequency range.

4. Lo EQ – Provides up to 15dB of boost or cut to the 80 Hz frequency range.

5. Aux 1 – Sends the channel’s signal to auxiliary processors, onstage monitors, or

headphone amplifiers. Aux 1 is pre-fader, meaning it takes the signal before the channel fader position. Aux 1 is ideal for sending a signal to monitors or headphone amplifiers.

6. Aux 2 – Sends the channel’s signal to auxiliary processors, onstage monitors, or

headphone amplifiers. Aux 2 is post-fader, meaning it takes the signal after the channel fader position. Aux 2 is ideal for sending a signal to outboard processors.

7. Channel Fader – Controls the signal level of the Mic

and Line inputs.

8. Pan/Bal (Balance) – Directs the output signal to the left

or right Main Out. Pan controls are found on mono channels, sending the mono source to either the left or the right speakers or anywhere in between. controls are found on stereo channels which take a stereo source and varies the relative level of the channels, so that the left channel will not come out of the right speaker when adjusting the Balance control fully right and vice-versa.

9. Ext In – 1/8" stereo line level input for channels 9 and

10.

10. Ext Out – 1/8" stereo output that mirrors the main

outputs.

11. Mic Input 1/2 – XLR-1/4” combo inputs for use with

dynamic and condenser mics. The signal level is controlled with channel faders 1 and 2, respectively. When front panel Mic inputs 1 and 2 are in use, this will disable the rear panel Mic 1 and 2 inputs.

12. Power LED – Indicates whether MultiMix 10 Wireless is

powered on or off.

13. Phantom Power LED – Indicates whether the phantom

power is enabled for the Mic inputs.

14. Pair/Unpair – Press the Pair/Unpair button to pair a Bluetooth® device or to disconnect a paired Bluetooth

device.

15. Pair LED – The Pair Status LED will illuminate when MultiMix 10 Wireless is paired with a Bluetooth audio

device.

16. LED Meters – Displays the audio signal level of the main outputs.

17. Master Fader – Adjusts the speaker’s Main Out volume, which includes the Mic/Line inputs, Ext. In, and the

audio of a paired Bluetooth device.

18. Stereo Aux Return – Controls the signal level returning from the Aux inputs.

19. Phones/Monitor Knob – Adjusts the signal level sent to the Monitor Out and the Phones Output.

20. Phones Output – Connect headphones to this stereo 1/4” output.

cable here.

2. Voltage Selector* – If your unit has a voltage selector

switch, change its setting only when necessary (e.g., when traveling to a country or region with a different voltage). Selecting an improper voltage setting can damage the unit.

3. Power ON/OFF Switch – Turns MultiMix 10 Wireless’s

power on or off.

4. Phantom Power Switch – Provides phantom power

(+48V) for condenser microphones. Phantom power is applied to the XLR microphone inputs.

5. Antenna – Adjusts the reception of the signal that is being

received from a Bluetooth source such as a PC, Mac, iOS device, Android®, etc.).

6. MAIN OUT – Use standard 1/4" TRS cables to connect

this output to the house speaker, recorder, or amplifier system. Control the level of this output using the MASTER fader.

7. MONITOR OUT – Use standard 1/4" TS cables to connect

this output to your monitor speaker or amplifier system. Control the level of this output using the PHONES/MONITOR knob.

8. Aux Sends – Two mono 1/4" TRS auxiliary sends allow you to connect effects that can be blended in with the

9. Stereo Aux Return – Connect the outputs of an external device to these inputs with 1/4" mono cables. This is

usually reserved for outboard effects devices but can also be used as an extra input channel for synthesizers, drum machines, etc. If your source is mono, plug it into the left jack and it will be heard on both the left and right sides.

10. Ext In (RCA) – These stereo RCA jacks accept consumer-level (-10dBv) inputs from sources such as tape

11. Stereo Line In – Connect line-level devices to these inputs with 1/4" cables.

12. Mic/Line In** – The first four channels of the mixer accept microphones via the XLR connectors or mono line-

13. Insert – 1/4” TRS jacks on channels 1-4 allow you to connect external processors (gates, compressors, pitch

CONNECTING ELECTRIC GUITARS AND BASSES

Electric guitars and basses can be connected to the 1/4” line inputs as well. The combination of the Trim control and the fader level on the front panel will deliver more than enough gain to drive these sources. However, note that the line-level inputs are relatively low impedance, whereas most electric guitars and basses perform best when connected to a high impedance input closer to 200k sound of the guitar or bass. If this occurs, use a direct box to connect high-impedance instruments to MultiMix 10 Wireless.

correction devices, etc.) into the signal path of these channels. The insert signal is brought into the channel directly after the preamplifier (controlled with the TRIM knob) and before the channel’s EQ and fader. The insert jacks require use of an “insert” cable, which has a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connector on one end for connection to MultiMix 10 Wireless and two TS (Tip-Sleeve) connectors on the other end. Attach the “Send” connector to the INPUT of your external processor. Then, attach the “Return” connector to the OUTPUT of your processor. See the insert cable diagram under USING MULTIMIX 10 WIRELESS FOR MULTITRACK AUDIO RECORDING.

One typical example is to use one aux send for a reverb unit and the other for a

Ohm or higher. The resulting impedance mismatch may dull the

*WARNING: If your unit has a voltage selector switch, change its setting only when necessary (e.g., when traveling to a country or region with a different voltage). Selecting an improper voltage setting can damage the unit.

**WARNING: Channels 1-4 each have mic level and line level inputs. Attach either a microphone or a 1/4” cable to the mic/line channel, but do not attach both cables to the same channel at any one time. In extreme cases, doing so can damage your microphone.

Note: If you want to connect a standard turntable to MultiMix 10 Wireless, use a dedicated turntable-to-line-level preamplifier.

USING MULTIMIX 10 WIRELESS FOR MULTITRACK AUDIO RECORDING

The Insert jack can also be used as a direct output to a multitrack recorder. The ‘Send’ provides the cleanest mic preamp signal by sending the signal to the recorder prior to it reaching the mixer’s EQ and channel fader. Use a standard TRS cable and insert the plug on the mixer’s side only until the first “click” (the ring connector). This will send the preamp signal to the recorder without interrupting the normal signal flow through the mixer.
