Introduction:

Thank you for choosing a BX Series Powered Mixer from Wharfedale Professional. Please read these
instructions carefully to ensure problem free operation and user satisfaction.

The Wharfedale Pro BX Series comprises three compact stereo powered mixers with built in stereo
digital effects with 8 presets and two graphic equalisers as well as two low noise high efficiency power
amplifiers. Designed to offer the user a combination of longevity with ease of transportation the BX
Series are built into an injection molded chassis with carry handles. The flexibility of operation is such ,
you can run both a front of house mix and onstage monitoring mix independently from the same pow­ered mixer. Both the Monitor Master and Main Master Level controls have corresponding EFX controls
to mix the digital effects with the monitor and main outputs.

BX1060SD FEATURES AND CONTROLS:

1. Low Z input with phantom power (balanced):
The microphone inputs are electronically balanced for maximum noise suppression and have characteris­tics matching all low impedance dynamic microphones. Condenser microphones may also be connected
with 48Volt DC Phantom Power activated via the phantom power switch in the master section.

2. Hi Z input for high output source (balanced):
the high-impedance 1/4” balanced line in jack on channel 1 through 3. These are electronically balanced
line-level inputs, but will accept either balanced or unbalanced input from high impedance microphones,
guitar amplifier line output synthesizers, electric pianos, etc.
Note: It is not possible to simultaneously use both the Hi-Z and Low-Z inputs of a given channel. For
each channel, use only the appropriate inputs for the input source.

3. Super Hi-Z input (unbalanced):
For connecting directly with
acoustic/electric guitar or bass input,
can also be used with line-level
sources, such as synthesizers and drum
machines.

4. Stereo line level input (unbalanced)
These two inputs are routed to the left
and right output. You can plug a mono
signal into the LEFT/MONO input and
the signal is automatically routed to both
the left and right inputs and may be
used to connect a tape deck, CD player,
outboard mixer, drum machine, key­board, guitar effect, etc.

5. Level control:
The LEVEL control is equivalent to a
channel fader to adjust the output level
for each channel.

6. Gain control:
The gain control adjusts the input sensi­tivity of the mic and line inputs to allow
optimum level matching with just about
any source.
To correctly adjust the gain level, apply
a signal to the channel and turn up the
GAIN control until the LED next to it just
blinks. This provides the best signal-to­noise ratio for the channel.

7. Peak indicator LED: The peak indica­tor will illuminate 3 dB before clipping,
warning that the clipping level is near.

8. Tone control:
The LOW, MID and HIGH EQ controls independently adjust the bass, middle and treble frequencies for
each channel.
The LOW EQ control allows for up to +15dB of boost or cut at 80Hz or below. The center detented posi­tion indicates that there is no boost or cut. The Low Frequency control should be used to enhance or
deplete frequencies found in items such as bass guitar or drum.
The MID EQ control is for the Mid Range of EQ, the area in which most frequencies are found. The Mid
EQ control allows boost or cut from -15 to +15dB, shelving at 2.5 KHz.
The HIGH EQ control allows boost or cut from -15 to +15dB, shelving at 12 KHz. You can use this con­trol to add transparency to keyboards or vocal and to hide any ‘hiss’ from external signal such as tape.

9. Effect send control:
The effects send signal is post-EQ and post-LEVEL, so these controls affect the signal going to the effect
processor, be it internal or external.
The effects send signal for each channel is controlled by the EFX control for that particular channel. The
overall effects send level is controlled by the EFX controls for Main and Monitors, both range from OFF to
+10dB of gain. The EFX to Main control adjusts the amount of effects returned to the main mix. The EFX
to monitor control allows you to add effects to the monitor mix.

10. Monitor send control:
The MONITOR control determines the level of the input signal that is fed to the monitor bus and subse­quently the MONITOR OUPTUT jack. The MONITOR control is not affected by the channel’s LEVEL con­trol.

11. Power on LED

12. EFX TO MAIN:
This control is used to add internal or external effect to the
Main Mix and ranges from off to +10dB of extra gain.

13. EFX to MONITOR:
This control is used to add internal or external effect to the
Monitor and ranges from off to +10dB of extra gain.

14. Effect preset select:
The Preset Select allows you to change one preset effect to
another, these are not programmable and allow reverberation
or ambiance to be added to vocals or instrumental sound.

15. EFX MASTER send:
Controls the overall effect signal of all channels to either inter­nal or external effect processor.

16. EFX BYPASS:
Pushing in this button will mute the effect signal to the internal
processors. When muted the LED indicator light will illuminate.
