Connect the appropriate input(s) as shown in the hook-up diagram.
Set all volume controls to “Off” (full counter-clock-wise position), connect the
headphones or in-ear monitors.
Connect the M8RX to PoE+ power such as an in-line PoE+ power injector or PoE+
network switch using unshielded Cat6 cabling.
Adjust the level at the input source (microphone gain, Dante source, etc.) until the
red clip LEDs just come on and then reduce the input(s) until you have a bright blue
LED.
Mixer Adjustment: Once you have the signals optimized, turn the master volume to
about 12 o’clock and then raise the desired input volumes. For pest performance,
avoid adjusting the master volume too high and running the inputs too low.
WARNING
ALWAYS turn down the “Master Volume” down before putting on in-ear headsets or
headphones because Switch Back M8RX is capable of driving most headphones to
extreme levels that can damage your HEARING!
