SIX CHANNEL PERSONAL MIXER WITH EQ AND EFX
The ART Model 416 Six Channel Personal Mixer quickly
and easily combines six sources – three microphones
(or balanced line inputs) and three stereo line inputs
into a single stereo line-level mix. It has effects patching
and phantom power (included to activate condenser
microphones or active DI boxes).
Usage
a) Connect the AC cord to a grounded 120VAC socket.
b) Connect mics or balanced line inputs to the XLR
sockets.
c) For mic channels requiring phantom power (for
condenser mics), press the DIP switch down to
activate phantom power to the appropriate XLR
jack.
d) Set the MIC/LINE buttons as required for each type
of input signal.
e) Connect stereo signal sources (tape deck, CD, etc.)
to the SOURCE INPUTS using RCA-tipped unbalanced
cables.
f) To patch-in effects, using three shielded TS (unbal-
anced) cables, connect the EFX LOOP SEND jack to
the input of the effects unit and the unit’s stereo
outputs to the LEFT and RIGHT EFX LOOP RETURN
jacks. Once the 416 is connected to the main mixer,
tape deck or computer sound card and you are
running a test, set the EFX LOOP IN/OUT button
on the front panel to the IN position and adjust
the LEVEL control for the desired effects intensity.
g) The L and R EFX LOOP RETURN jacks may alternately
be used as a stereo line input with its own level
control and in/out button.
h) Connect either the 1/4 inch LEFT and RIGHT OUT
jacks or the RCA REC OUT jacks to the input of the
mixer, tape deck or computer with the appropriate
unbalanced, shielded cables.
i) Switch on the power and set the MASTER LEVEL
to the 1/2 way setting,then adjust the channel LEVEL
controls as required for the best mix and level while
checking the MICROPHONE channel CLIP LEDs for
activity. Turn down any channel with CLIP activity
until it stops.
j) Adjust BASS and TREBLE controls for the desired
balance. Center setting is neutral.
k) Re-adjust the MASTER LEVEL as required for best
signal level.
