Wharfedale EZ-M 10X2 Music Mixer User Manual


 
Low Impedance (Low Z) MIC Input
The low noise, high headroom “Low Z” MIC input is for
use with balanced, low impedance dynamic microphones.
NOTE: Condenser microphones will not work on this
mixer.
LINE IN
This ¼” Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) jack is designed to be
connected with (-10 to +4dBu) balanced or unbalanced line
level sources.
GAIN Control
In order to achieve the best signal to noise ratio and
adequate dynamic range, the input preamp level of the
Mic/Line channel is adjusted with a GAIN control on channel
1. Set the GAIN control by watching the LED bar-graph
meters—above the MAIN MIX level control in the Master
section of the mixer—while the signal source for that channel
is active (whether it be a microphone or an instrument
connected to the LINE IN of the channel). The ideal level is
between 0dB and +6dB on the bar graph meters.
If the CLIP LED on the channel lights up consistently, the
GAIN control is set too high. It is acceptable for the CLIP
LED to flash periodically especially with loud instruments like
drums or during peak sound levels during loud portions of a
performance.
CLIP LED
The CLIP LEDs (on channel 1) will light up when the input
signal is driven too high. This indicates that the signal is
overloading the preamp and causing distortion.
