Be sure to turn the MW mixer
PHANTOM switch on when
using phantom-powered condenser microphones.
Although electric guitars
and basses can be connected directly to the
mixer’s inputs, the sound is
likely to be thin and possibly noisy. For best results
with these types of instruments use a DI box (direct
box) or amp simulator
between the instrument
and the mixer.
Connecting Microphones and/or Instruments.
For details on making connections refer to the “Setup”
section on page 15 and the “Front & Rear Panels” section on page 16.

Powering Up the System
3
To prevent loud pops and noises, turn on the
power to your sound gear starting with the
sources (instruments, CD players, etc.) and ending with the power amplifier or powered speakers.
Example : Instruments, microphones, and CD players first, then
the mixer, and finally the power amplifier or powered
speakers.
Observe the following precautions when
CAUTION
turning on phantom power.
• Make sure that the PHANTOM switch is off when
phantom power is not needed.
• When turning the switch on, be sure that only condenser microphones are connected to the XLR
input jacks. Other devices may be damaged if connected to phantom power. This precaution does not
apply to balanced dynamic microphones, however,
as these will not be affected by phantom power.
•To minimize the possibility of speaker damage, turn
phantom power on ONLY while your power amplifier
or powered speakers are switched off. It’s also a
good idea to turn the mixer’s output controls—STEREO Master control—all the way down.
•We recommend that you set the computer output to the
maximum level and mute the computer’s internal
speaker. For details on how to make the setting refer to
the “The recorded sound is too low in level.” in the “Troubleshooting” on page 22.
• The first time you connect to the computer’s USB con-
nector, or change the connection to a different USB port,
a driver installation display may appear after turning the
power to the MW mixer on. If this occurs, wait until the
installation is complete before proceeding.
Balanced Cables and Unbalanced Cables
Tw o types of cables can be used to connect microphones, electronic instruments, and other audio sources to the mixer’s inputs,
as well as to connect the mixer’s outputs to a power amplifier or
related gear: balanced or unbalanced. Balanced cables are
highly resistant to noise, and are the best choice for low-level signals such as the output from microphones, as well as for long
cable runs. Unbalanced cables are generally used for short runs
from line-level sources such as synthesizers.
Cable Guidelines
Microphone cable Balanced is best.
Short line-level cables
Long line-level cables Balanced is best.
Unbalanced cable is fine in a relatively
noise-free environment.
Connector Types
XLR Connectors
This 3-pin connector is resistant to
externally induced noise, and is
used primarily for balanced connections. With properly designed
receiving circuitry cables with this
type of connector can also be used
for unbalanced signals. XLR type
connectors are the standard for
microphone connections as well as most professional audio
gear.
Phone Connectors
Phone connectors are available in mono and stereo versions. Stereo types are also
known as “TRS” connectors
(Tip-Ring-Sleeve), and are
used for stereo headphone
jacks, insert jacks, and also to
carry balanced signals in many
cases. Unbalanced types are
used for mono signals -guitar
cables are a common example.
RCA Pin Connectors
This type of unbalanced connector is most commonly found
on home audio and video
equipment. RCA type pin jacks
are often color coded: white for
left audio channel and red for
right audio channel, for example.

Step
Adjusting Level and Tone
4
Level Adjustment
The first step is to set the level controls on
1
all instruments and other sources appropriately.
Adjust the channel GAIN controls so that
2
the corresponding PEAK indicators flash
briefly on the highest peak levels. (GAIN
controls are not provided on the stereo
channels—7/8 (MW8CX), or 7/8 and 9/10
(MW10C)).
Raise the STEREO Master control to the
3
“▼” position.
Adjust the LEVEL control to create the
4
desired initial balance while monitoring via
headphones or monitor speakers. The
overall headphone level is adjusted by the
MONITOR/PHONES control.
Tone Adjustment
The MW mixer’s compressors and 3-band equalizers make
it easy to shape the tone of independent channels to
achieve the best possible mix.
Use the High-pass Filter for Microphone Input
As the name implies, a “high-pass filter” allows only signals
above a certain frequency to pass. Conversely, signals below
that “cutoff frequency” are attenuated. When an MW highpass filter is turned on, signals below 80 Hz are attenuated.
This can be useful for minimizing low-frequency breath noise
from a vocalist, as well as handling noise, or rumble transmitted via the microphone stand. It is generally a good idea to
turn the high-pass filter on for microphone channels.
Compression
One form of compression known as “limiting” can, when
properly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with no
excessive peaks or distortion. A common example of the use
of compression is to “tame” a vocal that has a wide dynamic
range in order to tighten up the mix. Compression can also
be applied to guitar tracks to add extra sustain. Too much
compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it
sparingly.

Equalizer Tips
The best advice that can be given regarding equalization
while recording is simply to use as little equalization as possible. If you want a little more presence you can turn the HIGH
end up a bit. Or you can boost the bass a little if you feel the
low end is lacking. During recording it’s better to use EQ
sparingly for compensation only.
