Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Yorkville powered mixer. We at Yorkville Sound are confident that
you’ll find the M810/M1610 to be an excellent and versatile mixer/amp. We’ve used our expe-
rience in the development of powered mixers to create the smallest, lightest, and most power-
ful combination mixer/amplifiers available. This manual contains information to help you get
the maximum performance from your M810/M1610. We hope you’ll take the time to read it.
Stereo Power Amplifier
The M810/M1610 features high-efficiency stereo power amplifiers which have been designed
to deliver maximum power into a 4-ohm load. When lower speaker impedances are connect-
ed, a dedicated, sonically transparent circuit limits the output power to safe levels. Multiple
speakers may be connected without the amplifier overheating or shutting down.
Input Channels
1. MIC & LINE Inputs
The M810/M1610 features gold-plated dual-
contact XLR low-impedance microphone con-
nectors on the channels. These microphone
inputs are balanced for maximum noise sup-
pression. Condenser microphones can also be
connected. The 48 Volt DC phantom power is
activated by depressing the Phantom Power
push-button on the rear panel.
Note: Condenser and dynamic mics
can be used together while the phantom
power is on. It will not affect the perfor-
mance of the dynamic mics.
In addition to the XLR inputs, each channel features ¼-inch LINE in jacks. Channels
1-4, 7/8 and 9/10 are balanced line-level inputs and will accept either balanced (Tip/Ring/
Sleeve) or unbalanced (Tip/Sleeve) input cables from high impedance microphones, mixer
line outputs, keyboards, synthesizers, electric pianos etc.
Note: When connecting a balanced signal, use balanced patch cables with either an
XLR or a Tip/Ring/Sleeve ¼-inch plug on the mixer end.
