GETTING STARTED
1. Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To
totally ensure this, the power supply should not
be connected to the unit.
2. All faders and level controls should be set at the
lowest level and all channels switched off to en-
sure no sound is inadvertently sent through the
outputs when the device is switched on. All lev-
els can be altered to acceptable degrees after
the device is turned on using the channel setup
instructions.
3. Plug any necessary equipment into the device’s
YDULRXV RXWSXWV 7KLV FRXOG LQFOXGH DPSOL¿HUV
and speakers, monitors, signal processors, and/
or recording devices.
4. Plug the supplied power cable into the inlet on
the back of the device and then into a power
outlet of a suitable voltage.
5. Turn the power switch on and follow the chan-
nel setup instructions to get the most out of your
equipment.
CHANNEL SETUP
1. To ensure the correct audio level of the input
channel is selected, each of the level input con-
trols of the Mixer should be turned counterclock-
wise or down as far as they will go.
2. No input other than the one being set should
have any device plugged in. This will ensure the
purest signal is used when setting channels.
3. Set the level control of the channel you are set-
ting to the 0 dB mark.
4. Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar
to the signal that will be sent when in common
use. For example, if the channel is using a mi-
crophone, then you should speak or sing at the
same level the performer normally would during a
SHUIRUPDQFHLIDJXLWDULVSOXJJHGLQWRWKHFKDQ-
nel, then the guitar should also be strummed as
it normally would be (and so on). This ensures
levels are completely accurate and avoids hav-
ing to reset them later.
5. Set the gain so the Level Meter indicates the au-
dio level is around 0 dB.
 7KLVFKDQQHOLVQRZUHDG\WREHXVHG\RXFDQ
stop making the audio signal.
7. You can repeat the same process for other chan-
nels. Or not, it’s your call.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
Inputs and Outputs
1. XLR Microphone Jacks
These jacks accept typical 3-pin XLR inputs for bal-
anced and unbalanced signals. They can be used
in conjunction with microphones – such as profes-
sional condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphones -
with standard XLR male connectors, and feature low
QRLVH SUHDPSOL¿HUV VHUYLQJ IRU FU\VWDO FOHDU VRXQG
replication. The AM440 and AM440D mixers feature
four standard XLR microphone inputs for your con-
venience.
NB. When these inputs are used with condenser micro-
phones, the Phantom Power should be activated. Howev-
er, when Phantom Power button is engaged, single ended
(unbalanced) microphones and instruments should not be
used on the Mic inputs.
2. Line Inputs
This input accepts typical 1/4” TRS or TS inputs, for
balanced or unbalanced signals. There are various
numbers of these inputs depending which mixer you
are using. They can be used in conjunction with vari-
ous line level devices, such as keyboards, drum ma-
chines, electric guitars, and a variety of other electric
instruments.
3. Stereo Channels
The AM440 and AM440D mixer feature a few stereo
FKDQQHOVWKURZQLQIRUPD[LPXPÀH[LELOLW\(DFKRI
these stereo channels features two 1/4” TRS phone
jacks, for the addition of various line level input de-
vices, such as electronic keyboards, guitars and
external signal processors or mixers. These Ste-
reo Channels can also be used as Mono channels,
where the signal from any 1/4” phone jack plugged
into the Left stereo input will cause the signal to be
duplicated to the Right input due to the miracle of
jack normalizing. This does not work in reverse,
however.
4. AUX / Effects Send
These 1/4” TS outputs may be used to connect to an
external digital effect processor, or even to an ampli-
¿HUDQG VSHDNHUVGHSHQGLQJRQ \RXUGHVLUHGVHW-
tings), to the mixer. The signal sent from these out-
puts is fed from the AUX send control on the AM440
and the Digital Effect Processor on the AM440D.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Rear Panel
11 Power Switch
This switch is used to turn the mixer on and off. En-
sure you turn all level controls down before activat-
ing.
Channel Controls
12. Line/Mic Gain Control
This controls the sensitivity of the input signal of the
Line/Microphone input. The gain should be adjusted
to a level that allows the maximum use of the audio,
while still maintaining the quality of the feed. This
can be accomplished by adjusting it to a level that
will allow the peak indicator occasionally illuminate.
All 4 mono channels feature this control.
13. High Frequency Control
This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut
of ±15 dB to high frequency (12 kHz) sounds. This
will adjust the amount of treble included in the au-
dio of the channel, adding strength and crispness to
sounds such as guitars, cymbals, and synthesizers.
14. Middle Frequency Control
This control is used to provide a peaking style of
boost and cut to the level of middle frequency (2.5
kHz) sounds at a range of ±15 dB. Changing middle
IUHTXHQFLHVRIDQDXGLRIHHGFDQEHUDWKHUGLI¿FXOW
when used in a professional audio mix, as it is usu-
ally more desirable to cut middle frequency sounds
rather than boost them, thereby soothing overly
harsh vocal and instrument sounds in the audio.
15. Low Frequency Control
This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut
of ±15 dB to low frequency (80 Hz) sounds. This will
adjust the amount of bass included in the audio of
the channel, and bring more warmth and punch to
drums and bass guitars.
16. Low Cut Filter (75 Hz)
This button, located on channels 1 through to 4, will

ing to remove any unwanted ground noise or stage
rumble.

AM440/440D
17. AUX / EFX Control
The AUX control on the AM440 allows the user to
send the corresponding signal to the AUX mixing

Send control on the main mixing panel. This sig-
nal is then sent to the AUX Send output, which can
EHXVHGLQFRQMXQFWLRQZLWKDQDPSOL¿HUDQGVWXGLR
or stage monitors, or simply as an auxiliary output
for any means required. The EFX control on the
AM440D alters the signal level that is sent to the
EFX mixing bus, which makes its way to the built-in
Digital Effects Processor and is in-turn sent through
the EFX send output. These controls are pre-fader,
therefore any changes made to the corresponding
channel level control are not applied to the AUX or
EFX signals.
18. Pan / Balance Controls
This alternates the degree or level of audio that the
left and right side of the main mix should receive.
On mono channels, this control will adjust the level
that the left and right should receive (pan), where as
on a stereo channel, adjusting the BAL control will
increase the left or right audio signals accordingly
(balance).
19. Peak Indicator
This LED indicator will illuminate when the device
hits high peaks, 6 dB before overload occurs. It is
best to adjust the gain of the channel so that the
PEAK indicator lights up on intervals only, if at all.
This will ensure a greater dynamic range of audio.
20. Level Control
This rotary control will alter the signal level that is
sent from the corresponding channel to the main
mixing bus.
21. +4 / -10 Switch
This button, located on all stereo channels, is used
adjust the input sensitivity of the corresponding
channels, which will adapt the AM440 or AM440D
to external devices which may use different operat-
ing levels. If the input source is -10 dBV (consumer
audio level), it is best to engage the switch, allowing
the signal to be heard. The +4 dBu level is suitable
for Professional Audio signals, which are consider-
ably higher than the consumer level. However, if you
are unsure of the source’s operating level, we sug-
gest leaving the switch disengaged until you test the
source’s signal. You can then engage if necessary
(if the level of the input signal is obviously too low).

22. Digital Effect Display
This 2-digital numeric display shows the program
number that is currently applied to your EFX au-
dio signal. When you rotate the Program control,
\RX FDQ VFUROO WKURXJK GLIIHUHQW SURJUDP QXPEHUV
however the display will revert back to the original
program if a new program is not selected within a
few seconds. For a list of available effects, please
observe the Digital Effect Table.
23. Sig and Clip Indicators
Located within the Digital Effect Display are Clip and
Sig LEDs. The Sig LED will light up when any sig-
nal is received by the effect processor, and the Clip
LED will light up shortly before excessive signals are
dynamically clipped. If the Clip LED lights up too of-
ten, it may be advisable to turn down one or all EFX
controls on input channels to ensure the signal level
is not too high.
24. Program Control
This control is used to scroll through the various ef-
fects. Turning the control clockwise will allow users
to ascend into higher program numbers, and turning
it counter-clockwise will allow users to descend into
lower program numbers. Pushing this control will
apply the new effect. When a tap-delay effect is se-
lected, pressing this control will allow users to select
the tap-delay time.
By pushing the button several times, the effect pro-
cessor interprets the time between last two pushes
and remembers this as the delay time, until the
button is pushed again (this is kept, even after the
power is turned off). When the tap delay effect is se-

This will adjust the level of the Digital Effect signal
that will be sent to the Main left and right mixing bus
to be applied to your main feed.

27. Phantom Power Switch
When this switch is in the on position, it activates
+48V of phantom power for all microphone inputs,
allowing condenser microphones (well, the ones that
don’t use batteries) to be used on these channels.
Activating Phantom Power will be accompanied by
an illuminated LED above the left channel Level Me-
ter. Before turning Phantom Power on, turn all level
controls to a minimum to avoid the possibility of a
ghastly popping sound from the speakers.
NB. Phantom Power should be used in conjunction with
balanced microphones. When Phantom Power is engaged,
single ended (unbalanced) microphones and instruments
should not be used on the Mic inputs. Phantom Power will
not cause damage to most dynamic microphones, however
if unsure, the microphone’s user manual should be con-
sulted.

nel strip), the audio of which is sent to the AUX Send
output (and sent to the Control Room/Phones output
when the AUX to Ctrl button is engaged).
29. 2T Return Routing Buttons
These two buttons allow users to decide the desti-
nation of the signal received by the RCA 2T Return
inputs. The “to Main” button sends the signal to the
main mix, whereas the “to Ctrl Rm” sends the signal
to the Control Room mixing bus for monitoring.
30. AUX “to Ctrl” Button (AM440 only)
When this button is activated, the AUX send signal
(the level of which is decided by the AUX send con-
trol) will be sent to the Control Room mixing bus for
monitoring purposes.
31. Ctrl Rm / Phones Control

outputs.
33. Level Meter
The AM’s stereo 4-segment level meter gives an ac-
curate indication of when audio levels of the MAIN
L/R output reach certain levels. It is suggested for
the maximum use of audio to set the various levels
controls to a level slightly below that which would
cause the Peak LED to light up. This will help you
get the most out of your audio without causing any
distortion.
34. +48 Indicator
The +48 Indicator illuminates whenever the Phan-
tom Power is activated.
