ACHTUNG: Um die Gefahr eines Brandes oder Stromschlags zu verringern, soll-

ten Sie dieses Gerät weder Regen noch Feuchtigkeit aussetzen.Um die Gefahr
eines Stromschlags zu verringern, sollten Sie weder Deckel noch Rückwand des
Geräts entfernen. Im Innern befinden sich keine Teile, die vom Anwender

gewartet werden können. Überlassen Sie die Wartung qualifiziertem
Fachpersonal.Der Blitz mit Pfeilspitze im gleichseitigen Dreieck soll den Anwender

vor nichtisolierter “gefährlicher Spannung” im Geräteinnern warnen. Diese
Spannung kann so hoch sein, dass die Gefahr eines Stromschlags besteht. Das
Ausrufezeichen im gleichseitigen Dreieck soll den Anwender auf wichtige
Bedienungs- und Wartungsanleitungen aufmerksam machen, die im mitgelieferten
Informationsmaterial näher beschrieben werden.

Wichtige Sicherheitsvorkehrungen

1. Lesen Sie alle Anleitungen, bevor Sie das Gerät in Betrieb nehmen.

2. Bewahren Sie diese Anleitungen für den späteren Gebrauch gut auf.

3. Bitte treffen Sie alle beschriebenen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen.

4. Befolgen Sie die Anleitungen des Herstellers.

5. Benutzen Sie das Gerät nicht in der Nähe von Wasser oder Feuchtigkeit.

6. Verwenden Sie zur Reinigung des Geräts nur ein feuchtes Tuch.

7. Blockieren Sie keine Belüftungsöffnungen. Nehmen Sie den Einbau des
Geräts nur entsprechend den Anweisungen des Herstellers vor.

8. Bauen Sie das Gerät nicht in der Nähe von Wärmequellen wie Heizkörpern,
Wärmeklappen, Öfen oder anderen Geräten (inklusive Verstärkern) ein, die
Hitze erzeugen.

9. Setzen Sie die Sicherheitsfunktion des polarisierten oder geerdeten Steckers
nicht außer Kraft. Ein polarisierter Stecker hat zwei flache, unterschiedlich bre­ite Pole. Ein geerdeter Stecker hat zwei flache Pole und einen dritten
Erdungsstift. Der breitere Pol oder der dritte Stift dient Ihrer Sicherheit. Wenn
der vorhandene Stecker nicht in Ihre Steckdose passt, lassen Sie die veraltete
Steckdose von einem Elektriker ersetzen.

10. Schützen Sie das Netzkabel dahingehend, dass niemand darüber laufen und
es nicht geknickt werden kann. Achten Sie hierbei besonders auf Netzstecker,
Mehrfachsteckdosen und den Kabelanschluss am Gerät.

11. Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker des Geräts bei Gewittern oder längeren
Betriebspausen aus der Steckdose.

12. Überlassen Sie die Wartung qualifiziertem Fachpersonal. Eine Wartung ist
notwendig, wenn das Gerät auf irgendeine Weise, beispielsweise am Kabel
oder Netzstecker beschädigt wurde, oder wenn Flüssigkeiten oder Objekte in
das Gerät gelangt sind, es Regen oder Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt war, nicht
mehr wie gewohnt betrieben werden kann oder fallen gelassen wurde.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to
rain or moisture. To reduce the hazard of electrical shock, do not remove cover or
back. No user serviceable parts inside. Please refer all servicing to qualified per­sonnel.The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle,
is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral trian­gle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and main­tenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Please read all instructions before operating the unit.

2. Keep these instructions for future reference.

3. Please heed all safety warnings.

7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third
prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on and pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles and at the point at which they exit from the
unit.

11. Unplug this unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.

12. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the unit
has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug damage, or
if liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit, the unit has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

PRECAUCION: Para reducir el riesgo de incendios o descargas, no permita que
este aparato quede expuesto a la lluvia o la humedad. Para reducir el riesgo de
descarga eléctrica, nunca quite la tapa ni el chasis. Dentro del aparato no hay
piezas susceptibles de ser reparadas por el usuario. Dirija cualquier reparación al
servicio técnico oficial. El símbolo del relámpago dentro del triángulo equilátero
pretende advertir al usuario de la presencia de “voltajes peligrosos” no aislados
dentro de la carcasa del producto, que pueden ser de la magnitud suficiente como
para constituir un riesgo de descarga eléctrica a las personas. El símbolo de excla­mación dentro del triángulo equilátero quiere advertirle de la existencia de impor­tantes instrucciones de manejo y mantenimiento (reparaciones) en los documentos

GAIN

The MDR10’s pre-amp stage has a variable GAIN control with a range of 5 to
60dB on the MIC input and –26 to +26dB on the LINE input.

CLIP LED

The MDR10’s MIC/LINE pre-amp also includes a CLIP LED which, when illumi­nated, indicates that the signal is peaking or overloading. To reduce distortion,
lower the GAIN control to keep this LED from staying on.

HF (HIGH FREQUENCY)

12KHz +/- 15dB shelving type The channel’s frequency response is flat when
the knob is in the "12:00" position. Rotating the knob towards the right will
boost the corresponding frequency band by 15dB, and rotating it towards the
left will cut the frequency by 15dB.

MID (CUT & BOOST)

The MID CUT & BOOST knob is used in conjunction with the MID FREQUENCY knob to create the tonal
shape in the mid-range frequency when using the mono channel’s equalizers. You can adjust the frequency
on the mid-range control with the MID SWEEP knob, and use the MID CUT & BOOST to either boost or cut
that frequency by plus or minus 15dB.

MID FREQUENCY

The MID FREQUENCY is a control enabling you enhanced capabilities in the tonal shaping of the input
channel signal. Thanks to the MID FREQUENCY control, you have a variable mid-range equalizer, allowing
you to pin point the exact frequency you want to boost or cut. The MID SWEEP has a “fixed Q” of two
octaves (the amount, or width, of frequencies around the center point that are effected by the MID CUT &
BOOST control) and can be set in a range from 100Hz to 5Khz.

LF (LOW FREQUENCY)

80Hz +/- 15dB shelving type The channel’s frequency response is flat when the knob is in the "12:00" posi­tion. Rotating the knob towards the right will boost the corresponding frequency band by 15dB, and rotating
it towards the left will cut the frequency by 15dB.

LOW CUT FILTER

Each of the MDR10’s channels include a LOW CUT (or high pass) filter which rolls off the low frequencies
from 80Hz and below at the rate of 12dB per octave.

MONO INPUT CHANNEL SECTION

The following section details each part of the MDR10’s MONO INPUT CHANNELS including the GAIN control, CLIP LED, 3­BAND EQ, AUX sends, PAN and LEVEL controls. The input channels one through six on the MDR10 feature high quality,
discrete transistor pre-amps providing transparency and extended dynamic range. The inputs feature a standard XLR mic
connector for microphone level signals, and a standard 1/4" phone connector, either balanced (TRS – TIP/ RING/SLEEVE)
or unbalanced (TS – TIP/SLEEVE) for line level signals.

CHANNEL EQUALIZER

The MDR10 input channels feature a 3-band, swept-mid equalizer allowing you to
adjust the high, mid, and low frequencies independently on each channel. The fre­quency centers, range of boost or cut, and equalizer type for each band are as fol­lows:
