3 Introduction: In the world of professional sound reinforcement and audio reproduction there is no room for compromise. It is absolutely vital that the emotions of a performance are projected to your audience, not just sounds.
4 The Mono Input Channels (1 – 6): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 10 1 MIC IN: An XLR jack for balanced Low-Z mic inputs. When using a condenser mic, the Phantom Power switch (#63, rear panel - page 7) must be activated.
5 The Stereo Input Channels (7 – 10): 18 LEFT/MONO: A T ip/Sleeve 1/4” jack for instruments, drum machines, tape/CD chan- nels and similar high impedance signals. For stereo inputs use this jack for the left channel input and the Right jack (#19) for the right channel input.
6 The Master Section: 33 AUX RET : Returns the stereo or mono signal from an external device. Stereo devices use both the Left and Right jacks; mono devices use only the Left jack. 34 EFF RET : Returns the effected signal from an external effects device.
7 The Rear Panel: 61 POWER CONNECTOR: Fasten the threaded collar of the supplied AC power supply to this connector . Align the pins of the power supply with those of the connector , press into place, then tighten the threaded collar onto the connector securely .
Applications: Basic Mono Operation: This example shows how the mixer and one stereo power amplifier* may be used to run both the house speakers and the stage monitors. Connect a signal cable between the mixer ’ s Mono jack and the power amp’ s Channel 1 Input jack (A).
Applications: Home Studio: In this example the Main L/R outputs are connected to a computer through a compressor . The Monitor outputs are connected to the monitor power amp which drives the studio monitors.
10 Applications: DJ Setup: In this example the mixer is connected to a stereo power amplifier which drives the house speakers. Connect a pair of signal cables between the mixer ’ s Main Left and Right jacks and the stereo power amplifier ’ s* Channel 1 and Channel 2 Input jacks (A).
11 Applications: House of W orship: In this example the mixer ’ s Main Outs are used for the sanctuary mix, the Aux outs are used for a platform mix, and a mono signal is provided for the childcare room (or other remote location).
Applications: Separating V ocals and Instruments: In this example the Pan controls on all of the vocal mic channels are rotated fully clockwise to assign all vocal mics to the right channel. The instrument channels are then all assigned to the left channel by rotating their Pan controls fully counter clockwise.
13 Applications: External Effects and Recorders: There are several ways to use the CMX62 with external signal processors (such as effects and delay units, limiters, etc.). For example, any (or all) of the six mono channels may have its own processor patched in by use of the Insert jack (#3, page 4).
14 Equalization Diagrams: Each input channel of the CMX62 has three bands of equalization which allows you to alter the tonal characteristics of the input signal. The EQs may be used to add “color” or to compensate for inadequacies of the original signal.
