5 11 PAN – Controls the channel’s balance between left and right in the stereo bus. 12 SOLO Switch (Input Channels) – Back-lit LED switch used to assign the channel to the SOLO bus.
Rear P anel La y out 6 REAR PANEL A AC ADAPTER INLET – Connect External AC power supply here. B POWER – Switches on the MDR10’s main power. C PHANTOM – Engages the 48-Volt Phantom power supply to microphone pre-amps.
GAIN The MDR10’s pre-amp stage has a variable GAIN control with a range of 5 to 60dB on the MIC input and –26 to +26dB on the LINE input. CLIP LED The MDR10’s MIC/LINE pre-amp also includes a CLIP LED which, when illumi- nated, indicates that the signal is peaking or overloading.
(MONO INPUT CHANNEL CONTINUED) AUX 1 SEND The MDR10 has two auxiliary sends which can be used for sending signals to the external effects devices or for creating a monitor mix. The AUX1 section is often used for a monitor mix in a live sound mixing, or for a headphone mix in a record- ing application.
Channel 10 Channel 9 Channel 8 Channel 7 Controls and Functions 9 (MONO INPUT CHANNEL CONTINUED) SOLO Switch When engaged, the yellow LED illuminates, indicating the input channel is assigned to the SOLO bus. The SOLO switch has a “momentary” action that acti- vates a logic control switch.
10 Controls and Functions HF (HIGH FREQUENCY) 12KHz +/- 15dB shelving type. The channel’s frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the "12:00" position. Rotating the knob towards the right will boost the corresponding frequency band by 15dB, and rotating it towards the left will cut the frequency by 15dB.
SELECT Switch (DIGITAL EFFECTS) The SELECT switch allows you to select one of the eight built-in digital effects. Simply rotate the SELECT knob to choose the vari- ous effect pre-sets. DSP PEAK The DSP PEAK indicator lets you know when you are sending too much level to the internal effects processors.
Controls and Functions MASTER SECTION (continued) AUXILARY SECTION - continued FX TO AUX 1 The FX TO AUX1 allows you to add the internal effects to the AUX 1/ MON send. When you press this switch, the signal from the DSP return is mixed in to the AUX 1.
Controls and Functions 13 MASTER OUTPUT SECTION SOLO LEVEL You can adjust the overall volume of the SOLO bus by using the SOLO LEVEL control knob. The SOLO LEVEL is active when any SOLO button is engaged.
14 Microphone Input - Mono Input Channels Use these inputs to connect Low Impedance microphones and low level signals from direct boxes. The MIC inputs have a nominal operating level of -62dB through -8dB. The MIC inputs also feature +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones.
15 LEFT/RIGHT MIX In a live sound application the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered speak- ers. In a recording application, the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are used to connect a stereo device such as com- puter sound card, DAT, or cassette recorder.
Operating the MDR10 16 BASIC OPERATION The following section explains the basic operation of the MDR10. CONNECTING MICROPHONES AND INSTRUMENTS 1. Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all your sys- tems components including the MDR10 is turned off.
Operating the MDR10 17 USING THE DIGITAL EFFECTS The MDR10 features a built-in, high quality, 24 BIT Digital Signal Processor offering studio grade effects. The DSP features clean Delay, lush Reverbs and multi-effects such as Chorus + Delay or Chorus + Reverb.
18 Operating the MDR10 USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT If you prefer to use an external device for effects process- ing, you can easily connect the unit using the MDR10 EFX bus disconnecting the internal DSP. Follow the simple steps below to interface your processor: 1.
