MW10 Owner's Manual

Quick Guide

English

1 Turn the power to all gear that is to be

connected to the MW10 off/standby

(except the computer), and set the ST

Master Level Control, Channel LEVEL

Controls, and GAIN Controls to their

minimum settings.

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.

n The ﬁrst time you connect to the computer’s USB

connector, or change the connection to a different

USB port, a driver installation display may appear. If

this occurs, wait until the installation is complete

before proceeding.

Balanced Cables and Unbalanced Cables

Two 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: Unbalanced cable is fine in a

relatively noise-free environment.

Long line-level cables: Balanced is best.

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

Powering Up the System

Observe the following precautions when turning on

phantom power.

• Make sure that the PHANTOM switch is off when phantom

power is not needed.

• Make sure that no equipment other than phantom-powered

microphones is connected to the XLR type inputs when turning

phantom power on. Applying phantom power to equipment

other than phantom-powered microphones can damage the

equipment. The exception to this rule is balanced dynamic

microphones, which can safely be left connected while phantom

power is applied to the XLR inputs.

• 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 mixers output

controls—the ST Master LEVEL Control and Channel LEVEL

Controls—all the way down when turning phantom power on.
