Introduction / TM300 F eatures We know you don’t like reading owners manuals, but you’ve just purchased one of the finest powered mixers around, and we want to tell you about it! So, before you plug in and start making music, we’d like to suggest you take just a few moments out to scan these pages.
TM300 F eatures • Phantom power switch enables you to use the TM300 with high-quality condenser microphones. When turned on, 48 volts of phantom power is provided to the mic connectors of all channels.
Guided T our - Over view The following illustration shows an overview of the front panel of the TM300: 5 INSERT LINE MIC 1 INSERT LINE MIC 2 INSERT LINE MIC 3 INSERT LINE MIC 4 MIC 5 MIC 6 123456 L .
Guided T our - Channels 1: Mic inputs - Use these electronically balanced XLR jacks to connect microphones to the TM300. These are intended to accept signal from low-level, low-impedance mics but can also be used for signal from other sources (such as direct injection boxes) if the channel ’ s Trim control (see #5 below) is turned down.
Guided T our - Channels send 2 is post-eq and post-fader ; that is, the level of the signal is determined by the channel ’ s Trim control, its EQ settings, and the position of its fader.
8 Guided T our - Main Section 1: Tape input (L, R) - Connect the outputs of a tape or CD player to this set of dual phono jacks. The volume of the incoming signal is controlled by the Tape In level control (see #7 on the next page).
9 Guided T our - Main Section 7: Tape In Level - Controls the level of signal arriving at the Tape Input jacks (see #1 on the preceding page). 8: Record Out Level - Controls the level of signal being output by the Record Out jacks (see #3 on the preceding page).
Guided T our - Main Section 17: DSP select switches - Allows you to select any of three preset reverb effects for the onboard DSP: Vocal, Long Hall ( “ L HALL ” ) or Short Hall ( “ S HALL ” ). For more information, see the “ Using DSP ” section on page 22 of this manual.
Guided T our - Rear P anel 1: Vent - To ensure proper cooling of the TM300 power amplifier, make sure this vent is unobstructed at all times. 2: Fuse holder - Holds an 8 A / 250 V fuse for 115 volt operation or a 4 A / 250 V fuse for 230 volt operation 3: AC input - Connect the supplied heavy gauge 3-pin “ IEC ” power cable here.
12 Connecting the TM300 The actual connections you ’ ll make to and from the TM300 will vary according to the environment you use it in and the particular equipment you have. Here are a few basic rules concerning TM300 connections that will apply in most situations: • In general, it ’ s best to make all connections with the TM300 turned off.
13 TM300 Interconnections - Stereo Configuration The illustration below shows typical interconnections between the TM300 and other audio equipment when used in its standard stereo configuration (that is, with the Aux 1 / Monitor switch [see #19 on page 8] out).
TM300 Interconnections - Split Mono Configuration The illustration below shows typical interconnections between the TM300 and other audio equipment when used in its “ split mono ” configuration (that is, with the Aux 1 / Monitor switch [see #19 on page 8] pressed in).
15 Setting up your TM300 is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes: 1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and decide where the TM300 is to be physically placed. Make sure that the rear vent and fan are unobstructed and that there is good ventilation around the entire unit.
16 You ’ re now ready to establish the correct gain structure — the key to getting the best performance from the TM300, or from any mixer, for that matter.
17 Setting the Cor rect Gain Str ucture k. Repeat step (i) above for each instrument connected to TM300 channel line inputs. l. The procedure for setting optimum microphone levels is virtually identic.
18 Grounding T echniques Hum and buzz are the biggest enemies you face when interconnecting a large number of different pieces of equipment to a central audio mixer.
19 Using Equalization One of the most exciting aspects of using a mixer such as the TM300 is the ability to shape a sound, using a process called equalization . But there are few areas of audio engineering more misunderstood than equalization, and, just as good EQ can really help a sound, bad EQ can really hurt it, so read on.
20 Using Equalization The seven-band graphic master equalizer affects the overall output signal of the TM300. Its main function is to allow you to “ tune ” the device to the particular room environment you are in.
21 Using P an The final Main output of the TM300 is stereo — that is, there are discrete speaker output jacks, labeled “ left ” and “ right, ” which will normally be routed to two (or two pairs of) discrete speakers. Because of this, you will usually be working with a stereo field that ranges from hard left to hard right.
22 Using Aux Sends and Retur ns The two Aux Sends provided by the TM300 allow you to combine the signal from multiple channels and send the resulting mix to the internal Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and/or to external devices such as effects processors.
23 Using Inser ts In addition to using Auxiliary Sends and Returns to access outboard devices, the TM300 also provides channel inserts for channels 1 - 4.
24 There ’ s probably no better way to enhance audio than with the judicious use of effects such as reverb and echo. The TM300 has its own built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chip which provides three high-quality preset reverberation ( “ reverb ” ) effects.
Introduction/caractéristiques du TM 300 Nous savons que vous n’aimez pas lire les modes d’emploi, mais vous venez juste d’acheter l’un des mélangeurs amplifiés les plus sophistiqués du marché, et nous tenons à vous le faire découvrir.
Caract é ristiques T echniques du TM300 • Deux d é parts auxiliaires st é r é o par voie (l ’ un pr é lev é avant Fader et l ’ autre apr è s) vous permettent d ’ affecter plusieurs signaux au processeur d ’ effets interne ou vers les processeurs externes.
