10MXR BT QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
MASTER LEVEL - Use this level to control your main volume output. Try never to send an output of
more than +4dB to your system. Signal at levels higher than this will start to distort and may cause
damage to your system and speakers. Remember that a distorted signal from you mixer will only be
multiplied throughout your system.
CHANNEL GAIN LEVEL - The channel gain levels are not to be used as volume controls. Never use
the channel trim to set the output volume. These controls are used to aid in distortion control. Use
these control to preset your signal level before the crossfader. With your channel faders in the maximum position, use the channel trim level to set an average output level of about +4dB on you master
level mete r.
HEADPHONES - To avoid damaging your headphones always be sure the headphone volume level (8)
is set to minimum before plugging them in. To avoid sever hearing damage, never put the headphone
on without making sure the headphone level is turned down.
MAIN MIC - The main mic connector uses a 1/4” unbalanced jack. The main mic also has an independent volume control. When feedback occurs when using the mic, try lowering the level this may reduce
the feedback. Always leave the mic level to it’s minimum level when not in use. Note: We recommend
that you use a 500-600ohm microphone for the best sound quality.

10MXR BT FUSE REPLACEMENT
Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord from the unit. Once the cord has
been removed, you will find that the fuse holder is located inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head
screw driver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and
replace with a new one. The fuse holder also has a holder for a spare fuse.
10MXR BT CLEANING
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the mixer should be carried out periodically to residue
build up.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
2. Use a cleaner specially designed for electronics to spray in and around the knobs and switch.
This will reduce small particle built up that can effect the proper operation of the mixer.
3. Cleaning should be carried out every 30-60 days to prevent heavy built up.
4. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the mixer in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the mixer operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue,
dust, dew).
