Making Detailed Settings
Using the HS-5
Signal Flow
Here are some more advanced ways to use the HS-5.
Sub-Mixer Settings
The HS-5 has a main mixer and four sub-mixers (MIX A–D). The sub-mixers are independent of the main
mixer; each performer can individually adjust their own sub-mixer for more comfortable performing.
Examples of using the sub-mixers
Suppose that you are a bassist using section B, and the drummer is using section D. If you (section B) want
the drums (section D) to be louder, but the drummer doesn’t want to change the main mixer settings
(balance), you can use the sub-mixer to keep both sides happy.
1. Press the [MIX A–D] button of the section whose sub-mixer you’re adjusting, making the
button light.
If there is a section whose sub-mixer settings you’ve already adjusted, the [MIX A–D] button is lit dimly.
2. Use the [A]–[E] knobs to adjust the
volume balance of each section.
To stop using the sub-mixer, make the [MIX
A–D] button light and then press the button
once again to make it go dark.

falling or the stand toppling, and may result in injury.
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with
the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the
installation matches the input voltage specied
on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors
may use a dierent polarity, or be designed
for a dierent voltage, so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
