Rolls RM69 User manual

USING THE MIC EFFECTS INSERT

In order to add e ects to the microphone signal, an insert cable is needed. The Tip of the plug
acts as the Send, the Ring is the Return.

Connect the insert cable’s TRS end to the Mic FX
Insert jack on the rear of the RM69. Connect the
Tip connection to your e ects processor’s Input
jack, and the Ring connection to the Output of
the e ects processor. The RM69 e ects insert
is mono, so if the e ects processor is stereo ­choose a Mono output. You may need to refer
to your e ects processor owners manual for more information about operating it in mono.

Make sure a microphone is properly connected to the RM69 and the unit is on. Speak into the
microphone and adjust the levels of your e ects processor for the desired process and level of
e ect.

USER GUIDE

Thank your for your purchase of the Rolls RM69 MixMate 3 Mic / Source Mixer. The RM69 mixes
two microphones with up to four stereo source signals such as CD players, karaoke machines,
MP3 Players, etc.. The unit is housed in a compact yet sturdy steel 1U rack chassis.

INSPECTION

1. Unpack and inspect the RM69 box and package.
Your RM69 was carefully packed at the factory in a protective carton. Nonetheless, be sure to ex­amine the unit and the carton for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping.
If obvious physical damage is noticed, contact the carrier immediately to make a damage claim.
We suggest saving the shipping carton and packing materials for safely transporting the unit in
the future.

2. For warranty information, visit our website; www.rolls.com Please register your new RM69
there, or complete the Warranty Registration Card and return it to the factory.

CONNECTION

Ensure the RM69 is securely mounted in a 19” rack. Connect the power supply to an AC outlet
(preferrably a power strip with master switch). If the unit is to be used in a permanent install,
connect all sources and microphones to the desired channels on the rear panel. Remember
which signal sources are connected to which Source Inputs.
For use in mobile DJ/Karaoke rigs, the microphone should be connected to the front panel Mi­crophone Input so it may be easily removed when the mobile rig is packed.

OPERATION

Make sure all audio connections are in place, and power is applied to all pieces of equipment
necessary for operation, ie; speakers, power ampli ers, microphones etc.

Normally, only one source signal is heard at a time along with a microphone signal. Therefore,
begin with all Levels completely counter-clockwise (o ). Keep the Headphone Level control
low at  rst. There will be nothing heard from the Main Outputs until you increase the level of a
Source or Mic channel. You may now turn up the Source’s for playing. Set the Headphone Level
for a comfortable amount. Increase the Source Level of the desired channel, and begin playing
the selection.
