Precautions
1. Location
Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high tem­peratures or humidity — such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage and locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields, such as close to broadcast equipment.
2. Ventilation
The unit has ventilation slots on the bottom panel. Do not block these vents.
3. Avoid Physical Shocks
Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage. Handle it with care.
4. Do Not Open the Case or Attempt Repairs or Modifications Yourself
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all maintenance to qual­ified Yamaha service personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry voids the warranty.
5. Always power off before making connections
Always turn the power OFF before connecting or disconnecting cables. This is important to prevent damage to the unit itself as well as other connected equip­ment.
6. Handle Cables Carefully
Always plug and unplug cables — including the AC power cord — by gripping the connector, not the cord.
7. Clean With a Soft Dry Cloth
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
8. Always Use the Correct Power Supply
Make sure that the power supply voltage specified on the rear panel matches your local AC mains supply. Also make sure that the AC mains supply can deliver more than enough current to handle all equipment used in your system.

A/B switch
This switch selects the signal source of the input module. Select INPUT A (XLR type) or INPUT B (1/4” phone type).
2
20dB pad switch
This is a 20dB input pad (attenuator) that affects INPUT A and INPUT B. If the level of the input signal is too high for adjustments to be made using
the GAIN control alone, use the pad to attenuate the signal to an appropriate level. The pad is on when this switch is pressed in.
3
GAIN control
This controls the gain of the preamp for INPUT A and INPUT B. Gain is variable to a maximum of 44dB.
The GAIN control is always used in conjunction with the SIGNAL indicator and the PEAK indicator. Adjust the GAIN control so that the SIGNAL indi­cator is always lit when an input signal is present, and the PEAK indicator lights occasionally. If the PEAK indicator lights frequently, lower the GAIN control to prevent the signal from distorting.The following table shows usual settings for the GAIN control.

Précautions

1. Emplacement
Evitez les emplacements soumis à de fortes températures (proximité de radiateur, poêles, etc.) ou une importante humidité. Evitez également les endroits soumis à des vibrations qui pourraient entraîner un endommagement mécanique ou les lieux particulièrement poussiéreux ainsi que les endroits sujets à d’importants champs magné­tiques tels que la proximité du matériel de réception/transmission.
2. Aération
L’appareil est pourvu de fentes d’aération sur le panneau inférieur. Ne bouchez jamais ces orifices.
3. Evitez les chocs violents.
Des chocs violents peuvent endommager l’appareil. Maniez-le avec prudence.
4. N’ouvrez pas le boîtier et n’essayez pas de réparer ou modifier l’appareil vous-même.
Ce produit ne contient aucune pièce que vous pourriez réparer/remplacer. Veuillez consulter un service après-vente Yamaha qualifié. L’ouverture du boîtier et/ou toute tentative de toucher aux circuits internes annule la garantie.
5. Coupez toujours l’alimentation avant de procéder à des connexions.
Coupez toujours l’alimentation avant de brancher ou de débrancher des câbles. C’est particulièrement impor­tant pour éviter d’endommager l’appareil et le matériel qui y est branché.
6. Manipulez les câbles avec soin
Branchez et débranchez toujours les câbles (y compris le cordon d’alimentation) en prenant la fiche en main, pas le câble.
7. Nettoyez avec un chiffon doux et sec
N’utilisez jamais de diluants tels que du benzène ou de la térébenthine pour nettoyer l’appareil. Nettoyez-le avec un chiffon doux et sec.
8. Utilisez toujours une alimentation adéquate
Assurez-vous que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau arrière correspond à celle de votre secteur. Veillez également à ce que les prises secteur puissent alimenter tout votre matériel.
MX400 Manuel d’utilisation

Introduction

Introduction
Nous vous remercions d’avoir porté votre choix sur le MX400 de Yamaha. Le MX400 est conçu pour vous faciliter la vie et surtout pour pouvoir s’insérer dans une vaste gamme de systèmes, y compris des systèmes d’amplification de salle mobiles et fixes. La série MX400 comprend trois modèles: un mélangeur à 8 canaux, à 12 canaux, à 16 canaux et à 24 canaux.
Afin de pouvoir profiter pleinement des possibilités du MX400, veuillez lire atten­tivement ce manuel.

Caractéristiques du MX400

Chaque canal à entrée mono vous offre les fonctions suivantes:
Prises XLR/jack
Commutateur d’atténuation 20dB / commande de gain variable en continu
Egalisation 3 bandes (avec bande moyenne variable) / commutateur EQ On/Off /commutateur de filtre passe-haut
Borne d’insertion TRS/ sortie directe
Un total de 5 systèmes AUX SEND (pre
×
1)
Groupes ODD/EVEN et commutateur d’assignation stéréo/ commande Pan.
Commutateur Channel ON
Commutateur PFL
Indicateur de niveau de grande précision
Outre les canaux d’entrée mono, vous disposez de 4 jeux de canaux d’entrée stéréo dotés des fonction suivantes:
Quatre entrées stéréo avec égalisation à deux bandes
Commutateur d’assignation GROUP/AUX/ST
Commande de balance/pan
Commutateur de sélection, prise d’entrée TRS 1/4” et prise RCA (unique­ment pour entrée stéréo 1/2)
La section master offre les caractéristiques suivantes:
Cinq commandes AUX SEND de type curseur
Indicateur indépendant à trois points pour chaque commande AUX SEND
Commutateur TO ST et commande Pan pour chaque GROUP.
Commutateur GROUP ON, commutateur AFL et curseur 100mm pour chaque GROUP
L e commutateur MONI/ST2 permet de commuter le signal de sortie ST2/MONI OUT de deux façons:
1) Un des signaux d’une source externe entre par le bus stéréo, le bus PFL ou
le bus 2TR IN.
2) Le même signal comme signal de sortie STI1 OUT.
Un commutateur ON, L+R , et un curseur contrôlent le signal de sortie ST2/MONI OUT.
Vous trouverez en outre les fonctions suivantes:
Entrées XLR pour micro
Commande de niveau Talkback
Commutateur d’assignation
Les prises TAPE IN et REC OUT ont respectivement des commandes de niveau, pratique lorsque vous avez besoin d’une marge supplémentaire pour l’écoute ou l’enregistrement. Les indicateurs de niveau vous offrent un contrôle précis.

Modules d’entrée

1
Commutateur A/B
Ce commutateur sélectionne la source de signal du module d’entrée. Sélectionne INPUT A (type XLR) ou INPUT B (type jack 1/4).
2
Commutateur d’atténuation 20dB
Il s’agit d’un atténuateur d’entrée de 20dB qui affecte INPUT A et INPUT B. Si le niveau du signal d’entrée est trop haut pour effectuer des réglages au
moyen de la commande GAIN uniquement, utilisez le commutateur d’atté­nuation pour ramener le signal à un niveau adéquat. L’atténuation est acti­vée lorsque le commutateur est enfoncé.
3
Commande GAIN
Cette commande contrôle le gain du préampli pour INPUT A et INPUT B. Le gain est variable jusqu’à un maximum de 44dB.
La commande GAIN s’utilise toujours en conjonction avec le témoin SIGNAL et le témoin PEAK. Réglez la commande GAIN de sorte à ce que le témoin SIGNAL soit toujours allumé lorsqu’un signal est présent à l’entrée et que le témoin PEAK s’allume sporadiquement. Si ce dernier témoin s’allume souvent, diminuez le GAIN pour éviter toute distorsion du signal. Le tableau suivant vous données les réglages habituels pour la com­mande GAIN.

Lorsque le niveau du signal après égalisation (niveau nominal 0dB) atteint –10dB, le témoin SIGNAL s’allume. Ce témoin indique qu’un signal entre.
Lorsque le niveau du signal après égalisation atteint 3dB avant le niveau de saturation, le témoin PEAK s’allume pour indiquer que le signal s’approche du niveau de saturation. Réglez donc le niveau du signal en fonction du sta­tut du témoin PEAK. Pour la procédure, voyez l’explication donnée pour la
