Digital Audio Labs LM-MICPRE Quick Start Manual

LM-MICPRE INTERCOM MIC PREAMP

QUICK START v1.0

INCLUDES:

LM-MICPRE
USB Cable
1/8” TRS Cable

USING THE LM-MICPRE

The LM-MICPRE is a microphone preamp for using an external dynamic mic as an
alternative to the built-in intercom mics. Using an external dynamic microphone as

the intercom mic will provide a higher quality intercom with signicantly reduced

background noise.

ATTACHING THE LM-MICPRE

1. Connect the included USB cable and 1/8” TRS cable to the LM­MICPRE and feed the loose ends through the MT-1.

2. Connect the USB cable to the personal mixer USB port (front on the CS­SOLO, back on the CS-DUO) and the 1/8” TRS cable to the AUX-IN port.

3. If using the Livemix MT-1 mount, position the LM-MICPRE with the threaded mount holes “inside”
the MT-1. Use either the thumbscrews or Phillips head screws to fasten. If your Livemix personal mixer
is not mounted on a stand, use the Phillips head screws and attach the rubber support feet.

4. Connect a dynamic microphone to the XLR connector on the LM-MICPRE with a standard XLR cable (not included).

CONFIGURING THE LM-MICPRE & EXTERNAL MICROPHONE

1. PRESS Accessory Channels on the Channel Overview.

2. PRESS and HOLD the Intercom Channel button.

3. PRESS LM-MICPRE so the cell is gray and says “LM-MICPRE On”.

4. PRESS External Mic Setup.

5. Speak into the external mic while adjusting the gain knob on
the LM-MICPRE. The Mic Level on the VU should be in the
yellow range when speaking at normal stage levels.

2x Thumbscrews
2x Philips Screws
4x Rubber Feet

NOTE: If some users are using the built-in intercom and some are using external
microphones, you may need to adjust the gain knob on the LM-MICPRE to match
respective intercom volume levels.

LM-MICPRE INTERCOM MIC PREAMP

QUICK START v1.0

INTERCOM BUTTON

When using the LM-MICPRE function, the INTERCOM button on the Livemix

personal mixer (CONTROL/INTERCOM on the CS-DUO) can be congured in

one of three different modes. When the intercom is active, a white indication will
illuminate on the Status Bar and an active indicator will appear on the Intercom
Channel cell on the Accessory Channels page.

• ALWAYS ON: The intercom microphone is always on and passing

audio to the Intercom Channel of other personal mixers.

• LATCH: Press the Intercom Button to activate the intercom.

Press the Intercom Button again to deactivate the intercom.

• PUSH TO TALK (default operation): Press and hold

the intercom button to activate the intercom. Release
the Intercom Button to deactivate the intercom.

FOOT PEDAL OPERATION

The optional FP-2 foot pedal can be congured to work in intercom mode. In

intercom mode, button 1 activates the intercom and functions the same as the
Intercom Button. Button 2 adjusts the volume of the ME GROUP. A short press
increases the volume and a long press decreases the volume.

NOTE: When the LM-MICPRE button is turned on, the built-in intercom mics will
be deactivated. Any input into the Aux-In port will be routed to the Intercom
Channel. The Aux-In Channel will control the volume from non-local auxiliary
sources. The Ambient mics are unaffected.
