Thank you for purchasing the Azden FMX-20 portable mixer. The FMX-20 has many unique
features, so please read this manual completely before using the mixer. Designed to work
with all microphones that have a low-impedance XLR output, the FMX-20 can be connected
to any video camera or audio recorder, which has XLR, or mini-jack mic/line inputs.
LOADING THE BATTERY: Make sure the mixer is turned off. Remove the battery
cover (A) by turning the screw (B) counter- clockwise until it comes off. Place the battery
strap (located in the battery compartment) around a new 9-Volt ALKALINE battery and
insert it into the battery compartment. Be sure to follow the polarity diagram inside the
battery compartment. If the polarity is correct the battery should go in easily. Do not
force the battery into the compartment. If the battery does not go in easily turn it around
and try again. Replace the battery door (A) and turn the screw (B) clockwise until tight,
do not over tighten. A new 9-Volt ALKALINE battery should last for more than 6 hours.
MOUNTING OPTIONS:
1) Belt Clip (supplied): The belt clip (C) can be attached to the backside of the mixer in 3
different positions. To remove the belt clip use a Philips head screwdriver and turn the
screws (E) counterclockwise until they come off. To install the belt clip, select the desired
location and turn the screws clockwise until tight.
2) Hook & Loop (supplied): Hook & Loop can be attached to either side of the mixer and to any
adjoining flat surface (camera body, tripod, etc.) The Hook & Loop strip with the soft surface
should be attached to the mixer and the Hook & Loop strip with the rough surface should be
attached to the adjoining surface.
3) Strap (not supplied): A strap can be looped through the strap cutouts (D) on the sides
of the mixer.
CONTROLS and INPUTS/OUTPUTS
1 through 16
POWER SWITCH (1) and POWER LED (2):
To power the FMX-20 by the internal battery. Move the POWERswitch (1) to INT position.
The POWER ON LED (2) will turn green. When the battery voltage level is low the POWER
ON LED (2) will turn to RED. When the POWER ON LED (2) turns to red replace the battery
with a new 9-Volt ALKALINE battery. (see LOADING THE BATTERY above). When not
in use turn the mixer OFF to conserve battery life.
To power the FMX-20 with an external power supply. (Note: The FMX-20 does not come with
an external power supply. An optional power supply part number BC-26U is available from
the Azden parts department. Call 516-328-7500 for details. If you use a different power
supply make sure its output does not exceed 12 volts or you may damage the unit.) Move
the power switch (1) to EXT position. The POWER ON LED (2) will turn green. When not in
use turn the mixer OFF and disconnect the power supply from the mixer.
INPUT LEVEL CONTROLS for Channel 1 (3) and Channel 2 (4):
CH1 (3): Controls the input level (volume) of the microphone connected to Input CH 1 (12).
Zero is the lowest (quietest) setting, 10 is the highest (loudest). For the best possible sound
and lowest noise increase the input level control until the input LED lights occasionally.
