Introduction; Getting Started; Channel Setup - Phonic AM 240 Manual Del Usuario

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing one of Phonic's many quality
compact mixers. The AM series of mixers – designed by
the ingenious engineers that have created a variety of
mixers fantastic in style and performance in the past –
displays similar proficiency that previous Phonic products
have show; with more than a few refinements, of course.
The AM series features full gain ranges, amazing low
distortion levels, and incredibly wide dynamic ranges, just
showing the dominance these small machines will have
in the mixing World.
We know how eager you are to get started – wanting to get
the mixer out and hook it all up is probably your number
one priority right now – but before you do, we strongly
urge you to take a look through this manual. Inside, you
will find important facts and figures on the setup, use and
applications of your brand new mixer. If you do happen to
be one of the many people who flatly refuse to read user
manuals, then we just urge you to at least glance at the
Instant Setup section. After glancing at or reading through
the manual (we applaud you if you do read the entire
manual), please store it in a place that is easy for you to
find, because chances are there's something you missed
the first time around.

GETTING STARTED

1. Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To totally
ensure this, the AC cable should not be connected to
the unit
2. All faders and level controls should be set at the lowest
level and all channels switched off to ensure no sound in
inadvertently sent through the outputs when the device
is switched on. All levels can be altered to acceptable
degrees after the device is turned on using the channel
setup instructions.
3. Plug any necessary equipment into the device's various
outputs. This could include amplifiers and speakers,
monitors, signal processors, and/or recording devices.
4. Plug the supplied AC cable into the AC inlet on the back
of the device and then into a power outlet of a suitable
voltage.
5. Turn the power switch on and follow the channel setup
instructions to get the most out of your equipment.

CHANNEL SETUP

1. To ensure the correct audio level of the input channel
is selected, each of the level input controls of the mixer
should be turned counter-clockwise or down as far as
they will go (which should be the -∞ mark)
2. No input other than the one being set should have any
device plugged in. This will ensure the pure signal is
used when setting channels
3. Set the level control of the channels you are setting to
the 0 dB mark.
4. Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar to
the signal that will be sent when in common use. For
example, if the channel is using a microphone then you
should speak or sing at the same level the performer
normally would during a performance if a guitar is
plugged into the channel, then the guitar should be
strummed as it normally would be (and so on). This
ensures levels are completely accurate and avoids
having to reset them later.
5. Set the gain so the level meter indicators the audio Is
around 0 dB.
6. This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop
making the audio signal.
7. You can repeat the same process for other channels.
