Connect your Wireless Microphone’s Receiver
Attach a cable from your wireless microphone receiver’s Line Output to the FlexMix’s Mic Input #1. There are both ¼” and XLR (three prong) Mic Inputs available. Use whichever jack matches your cable, as either one will work.
If you have more than one Wireless Microphone Receiver, attach the second one to the FlexMix’s Mic Input #2.
As an additional bonus, there is a jack labeled “ALT MIC INPUT 2” on the front panel of the FlexMix. This allows an instructor who wishes to provide their own wireless microphone receiver an accessible input. Once a ¼” audio cable is attached to this input, the MIC 2 knob will control its volume. Attaching a cable here also overrides any microphone plugged into Mic Input #2 on the rear panel.
Connect your Music Sources
There are three music inputs on the back of the FlexMix, all using RCA-type (red and white) connectors.
Attach the Output of your first music source (such as a CD player) to the FlexMix’s Music Input #1.
If you have more than one music source, repeat the process of connecting the source’s outputs to the FlexMix’s Music Inputs #2 and #3 on the rear panel.
Connect an iPod / MP3 player
On the front of the FlexMix, there is a jack labeled “ALT MUSIC INPUT 3”. Using the supplied iPod / MP3 player cable, this input can be used to attach an iPod / MP3 player (or any other music source with a mini stereo headphone output) to the FlexMix.
Once a cable is plugged into the ALT MUSIC INPUT 3 jack on the front of the FlexMix, the Music 3 knob controls the volume of the attached device. Attaching a cable to this input also overrides any music source connected to Music Input #3 on the rear panel.
Connect your FlexMix to the Power Amplifier
Attach the FlexMix’s Main Outputs to the Line Inputs on your Power Amplifier.
The FlexMix has two sets of Main Output connections, both Balanced (1/4”), and Unbalanced (RCA-type). These are both active at all times, and your choice of Output should be determined by your cables and the type of Input Connections on your Power Amplifier.
The Auxiliary Outputs on the FlexMix allow you to attach another Power Amplifier, a wireless listening system or a recording device without affecting the Main Outputs.
Attach the Power Supply
Attach the provided AC power adapter from the FlexMix’s PWR socket on the rear panel to your power source.
The Master Volume Knob
The FlexMix is outfitted with a “hidden” Master Volume control on the rear panel. This sets the overall maximum volume for all of the Music and Microphone Inputs.
Set the Microphone and Music Volume
Start with the volume control on your wireless microphone receiver at about half (12 noon).
Beginning with the FlexMix’s Mic Volume all the way down (counter-clockwise), slowly bring up the volume as you speak into the microphone. Stop if you hear ringing or squealing (feedback).
A quick note on feedback: The squealing or howling sound associated with microphones is caused by the mic picking up its own sound out of the speakers, which then feeds the speakers and creates a feedback loop. This can commonly be avoided by moving the microphone away from the speaker, or turning down the microphone’s volume.
Once you have a good, audible level for the microphone without any feedback or ringing, bring up the music source of your choice. Again, begin with a music source that is playing. With the Music volume knob all the way down, bring it up until it is loud enough, but without drowning out the microphone.
Bass and Treble
The FlexMix is equipped with two sets of Bass and Treble controls. The Microphone Section’s Bass and Treble knobs affect any microphone connected to Mic Input #1, #2, as well as ALT MIC INPUT 2. The Microphone Section’s tone controls can be used to limit feedback while getting higher volume from your wireless microphone system.
The Music Section’s Bass and Treble knobs affect any music source connected to Music Input #1, #2, #3, as well as ALT MUSIC INPUT 3. Adjust the Music Section’s tone settings to your personal taste.
