3. Using the mixer
Basic operation
Selecting the inputs
Use the top panel INPUT SELECT switch to select the desired inputs.
Adjusting the input levels
Use the TRIM knobs to adjust the input level of each mixer channel.
Adjust the TRIM knob so that the level indicator lights yellow with the channel fader at the maxi-
mum position, and when the level from the source is being input at its maximum level.
For the KM-202
Use the MIC LEVEL knob to adjust the input level of the mic connected to the MIC jack. Use
the MIC BALANCE knob to adjust the level balance that is sent to mixer channels PGM1 and
PGM2.
Mixing the sound
Use the channel faders to adjust the volume level of each mixer channel.
Using the crossfader
The audio mixed by the crossfader is output to the master bus or the FX bus.
Use the front panel X-FADER CURVE knob to adjust the curve (response) of the crossfader.
For the KM-402
Use the CH SELECT button to assign the corresponding
mixer channel to one of the two crossfader channels (A
or B).
Each time you press a CH SELECT button, it will alter-
nate between channel A (lit green) channel B (lit red),
and unselected (dark).
For the KM-202
The crossfader will crossfade between PGM1 and PGM2.
Adjusting the master level
Use the MASTER LEVEL knob to adjust the overall volume level being sent from the MASTER OUT
jacks.
Monitoring
Connect your headphones to the headphone so that you can monitor the audio inputs or the sound
you’re mixing.
CUE
This is a function that lets you monitor (hear through headphones) the sound at a point before
the channel faders, separately from the sound that is output from the MASTER OUT jacks,
giving you a way to check the sound or “cue up” material while you’re performing. The sound
of the CUE bus can be monitored through headphones. This means that with the faders low-
ered, you can use headphones to check the audio input and EQ settings, and then when you’re
satisfied, raise the channel fader so that the desired sound will be sent from the master outputs.
