3. QUICK START

This is the fastest way to get something out from your LYNX-MIX164 EVO, if you have a keyboard and a microphone.

a. Plug the microphone into Channel 1 MIC IN. b. Turn down AUX and LEVEL controls on the input channel. c. Put the EQ controls on center position. d. Turn on your LYNX-MIX164 EVO. e.

Sing or speak into the microphone with normal volume and adjust the channel LEVEL control to half.

f. If you like, you can adjust the EQ at this stage. g.

The LED on the Master LED meter should flash only occasionally, otherwise you will hear distortion. If this LED is not active and you still hear distortion, please turn down a little the input LEVEL control or reduce the output level of your source instrument.

Connect your stereo keyboard into one of the s channel of yourtereo line inputs LYNX-MIX164 EVO.

Here you are. It is your first GIG with your LYNX-MIX164 EVO.

1 MONO MIC/LINE Channels

Your LYNX-MIX164 EVO is equipped with 10 low-noise microphone preamplifier with optional phantom power, 50 dB of Gain and over 115 dB of S/N ratio. You can connect almost any type of microphone.

MIC 1

LINE IN

Dynamic microphones do not need phantom power. Use phantom power only with condenser microphones but make sure that the phantom power button is

INSERT

disengaged before connecting the microphone. Phantom power will not

damage your dynamic microphones, so make sure to read the MIC instructions manual before engaging phantom power.

Use switch (48) to activate/deactivate phantom power. These channels are also equipped with 1/4" TRS balanced/unbala nced LINE-IN plugs to connect line-level instruments such as keyboards, drum

3 STEREO INPUTS

These are channels 5 through 16. They are organised in stereo pair and provided with XLR sockets and 1/4" TRS phone jacks.If you connect only the left jack, the input will operate in mono mode, that is the mono signal will appear on both input channels. You can use these inputs with a stereo keyboard, drum machine, etc.

4TRIM

The TRIM control is applied in the mono MIC and stereo input channels. It provides with 2 different indications: One is for the MIC and the other for LINE levels. When you use a microphone, you shall read the MIC ring (0~50 for mono MIC input, 0~40 for stereo channels); when you use a line level instrument, you shall read the LINE ring (+15~-35 dB for mono MIC input, +20~ 20 dB for stereo channels). For optimum operation, you shall set this

control in a way that the PEAK LED(16) blinks only occasionally in order to avoid distortion on the input channel.

Ok, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operate your LYNX-MIX164 EVO. However, we advise you to read the following section carefully to be the real master of your own mixer. Not paying enough attention to the input signal level, the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal will result in unwanted distortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all. So you should follow this procedure for every single channel:

1. Turn down all input and output gain controls.

2. Connect phantom powered microphones before switching on the +48 Volt phantom power switch.

3. Set the output level of your LYNX-MIX164 EVO or the connected power amplifier at no more than 75%.

Now, set the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES level at no more than 50%. In this way, you will be able to hear later what you are doing connecting a pair of headphones or a pair of powered studio monitor speakers.

5. Position EQ controls on middle position.

6. Position panoramic (PAN/BAL) control on center position.

7. With a pair of headphone or studio monitor speakers are connected, apply a Line Level input signal so that the PEAK LED does not light up.

8. Increase the input gain properly for maintaining the good headroom and ideal dynamic range.

9. Depending on the actual application, turn slowly the input and output level controls for obtaining the maximum gain before distortion.

Now repeat the same sequence for all input channels. The main LED meter

10. could move up into the red section. In this case you can adjust the overall output level through the main mix control.

RACK mounting

In one side of the package, you will find a pair of RACK-mount. If you want to assemble your LYNX-MIX164 EVO on a 19U RACK-box, remove the rubber handle, and fix the RACK-mount with the attached screws

This is a peaking filter and it will boost/cut frequencies from 100 Hz to 8 kHz depending on the position of the MID freq control. This control will affect especially upper male and lower female vocal ranges and also the harmonics of most musical instruments.

12 HI-MID

This control gives you up to 15 dB boost or cut at 3 kHz. It is useful for controlling voice. It can accurately polish your performance via adjusting this knob.

13 MID-LOW

This control gives you up to 15 dB boost or cut at 500 Hz.

14 LOW

If you turn this control up, you will boost all frequencies below 80 Hz. You will give more punch to bass drum and bass guitar and make the vocalist more "macho". Turn it down, you will cut all the frequencies below 80 Hz. In this way, you can avoid lowfrequency vibrations and resonance thus preserving the life of your woofers.

15 AUX SENDS Level Control

These four controls are used to adjust the level of the respective signal sent to AUX bus, AUX1 and AUX2 can be switched to PRE/POST-FADER via the PRE/POST button, so, generally, they can be used for monitor application and effects & sound processors input. AUX3 and AUX4 are configured as POST-Faders. In this typical compact unit, excluding sending out the signal directly to the external effect or processor equipment, AUX SEND4 can also be assigned to the internal onboard effect module.

Inside your LYNX-MIX164 EVO, the audio signal is monitored in several different stages and then sent to the PEAK LED. When the LED is red illuminated, it warns you that you are reaching signal saturation and possible distortion, then you should reduce the input level for avoiding distortion.

18 MUTE Button & LED

Each channel is equipped with a MUTE button. Pressing this button is equal to turning the fader down, which can mute the corresponding channel output except for the channel INSERT send and SOLO (in PFL mode). And the MUTE LED will illuminate.

19 FADER

This fader will adjust the overall level of this channel and set the amount of signal send to the main output.

20 ASSIGNMENT Controls

Each channel provides four push-buttons: SUB1-2, SUB3-4, MAIN L-R and SOLO. Pressing the SOLO button, the corresponding SOLO LED will illuminate and the SOLO signal will replace other signals send to the Headphone/Control Room and Meters. Usually use the SOLO function in live work to preview channels before they are let into the mix. It is useful to set an instrument's input level and EQ, and you can also solo any channel that you want to. The SOLO switch never affects any mix other than the Control Room. The other three buttons can be considered as signal assignment switches. Pressing the SUB1-2 will assign the channel signal to Subgroup1/2, you can depend on the PAN switch to adjust the amount of channel signal sent to the SUB1 versus SUB2, when turns the PAN to completely left, then the signal can be only controlled by Subgroup1 and viceversa. In the same way, pressing the SUB3-4 or MAIN L/R will assign the channel signal to Subgroup3/4 or MAIN MIX L/R, and will also be affected by PAN.

21 Master AUX SENDS Controls

These four controls are used to dete-rmine the master AUX SEND levels, which can be varied from - to +15 dB. When the external effect units which have no input gain control were

connected to mixer, you can get a further +15 dB gain available from these Aux Send outputs. As to the AUX4, it can also provide the lovable level adjustment for the internal effect signal.

22 SOLO Button
