You can connect almost any typeof microphone. Dynamic microphones donot need phantom power. Use phantompower only with condenser microphonesbut make sure that the phantom powerbutton is disengaged before connectingthe microphone. Phantom power will notdamage your dynamic microphones, somake sure to read the microphoneinstructions manual before engagingphantom power. Use switch (49) toactivate/deactivate phantom power. Thesechannels are also equipped with 1/4" TRSbalanced/unbalanced LINE-IN plugs toconnect line-level instruments such askeyboards, drum machines and effectdevices.1These are channels 5 through 12 (9 through 16 for LYNX-MIX164 USB, 13through 20 for LYNX-MIX204 USB). They are organised in stereo pair andprovided with XLR sockets (channels 5~6 for LYNX-MIX124 USB, channels9~10 for LYNX-MIX164 USB, channels 12~13 for LYNX-MIX204 USB) and1/4" TRS phone jacks. If you connect only the left jack, the input will operatein mono mode, that is the mono signal will appear on both input channels. Youcan use these inputs with a stereo keyboard, drum machine, etc.2 STEREO INPUTS23This is where you connect external sound processors such as compressor-limiter, equalizers, etc.. The insert point is available on the first 4 (8 for LYNX-MIX164 USB, 12 for LYNX-MIX204 USB) MIC channels only.3 MONO Channel INSERT4 TRIM18Ok, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operateyour LYNX-MIX USB Series. However, we advise you to read the following section carefullyto be the real master of your own mix. Not paying enough attention to the input signallevel, the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal will result in unwanteddistortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all. So you should follow this procedurefor every single channel:1. Turn down all Input and output gain controls.2. Connect phantom powered microphones before switching on the +48 Volt phantompower switch.3. Set the output level of your LYNX-MIX USB Series or the connected power amplifierat no more than 75%.5. Position EQ controls on middle position.6. Position panoramic (PAN/BAL) control on center position.8. Increase the input gain properly for maintaining the good headroom and ideal dynamicrange.9. Depending on the actual application, turn slowly the input and output level controlsfor obtaining the maximum gain before distortion.10. Now repeat the same sequence for all input channels. The main LED meter couldmove up into the red section. In this case you can adjust the overall output levelthrough the main mix control.You can connect unbalanced equipment to balanced inputs and outputs. Simply followthese schematics.Audio Connections5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION4. Now, set the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES level at no more than 50%. In this way youwill be able to hear later what you are doing connecting a pair of headphones or a pairof powered studio monitor speakers.7.

These jacks are used to send the signal fromthe channel path to external device for recording function etc..These 1/4" phone jacks are insert points. They are used to connect processorssuch as compressor, limiter, EQ etc.. When insert external processor intothese jacks, the subgroup stereo signal will be taken out, then returned tobefore subgroups fader. Of course, these jacks must be stereo (Tip Send/Ring Return).used17MIC input, 0~40 for stereo channels); whenyou use a line level instrument, you shall readthe LINE ring (+15~-35 dB for mono MIC input,+20~-20 dB for stereo channels). For optimumoperation you shall set this control in a waythat the PEAK LED (16) blinks only occasionallyin order to avoid distortion on the input channel.467If you turn this control up, you will boost all the frequencies above 12 kHz (shelvingfilter). You will add transparency to vocals and guitar and also make cymbals crispier.Turn the control down to cut all frequencies above 12 kHz. In such way you canreduce sibilances of human voice or reduce the hiss of a Tape player.9HI10-10
This is a peaking filter and it will boost/cut frequencies from 100 Hz to 8 kHzdepending on the position of the MID freq control. This control will affectespecially upper male and lower female vocal ranges and also the harmonicsof most musical instruments.10 MID11 HI-MIDThis control gives you up to 15 dB boost/cut at 3 kHz. It is useful for controllingvoice. It can accurately polish yourperformance via adjusting this knob.12 MID-LOWThis control gives you up to 15 dB boostor cut at 500 Hz.13 LOWIf you turn this control up, you will boostall frequencies below 80 Hz. You will givemore punch to bass drum and bass guitarand make the vocalist more "macho". Turnit down, you will cut all the frequenciesbelow 80 Hz. In this way you can avoidlow-frequency vibrations and resonancethus preserving the life of your woofers.14 AUX SENDS Level ControlThese four controls are used to adjustthe level of the respective signal sentto AUX bus, AUX1 and AUX2 can beswitched to PRE/POST-FADER via thePRE/POST button, so, generally, theycan be used for monitor applicationand effects & sound processors input. AUX3 and AUX4 are configured as POST-Faders. In this typical compact unit, excluding sending out the signal directlyto the external effect or processor equipment, AUX SEND4 can also beassigned to the internal onboard effect module.15 PAN/BAL ControlAbbreviation of PANORAMA control for mono channels, or the stereo channels,always says, BALANCE control.

Pressing this button is equalto turning the fader down, which can mute the corresponding channel outputexcept for the channel INSERT send and SOLO (in PFL mode). And the MUTELED will illuminate.Inside your LYNX-MIX USB Series the audio signal is monitored in several differentstages and then sent to the PEAK LED. When the LED is red illuminated, it warnsyou that you are reaching signal saturation and possible distortion, then you shouldreduce the input level for avoiding distortion.16 PEAK LEDSPOTLIGHT4.

Usually use the SOLO function in live work to preview channels beforethey are let into the mix. It is useful to set an instrument's input level and EQ,and you can also solo any channel that you want to. The SOLO switch neveraffects any mix other than the Control Room. The other three buttons can beconsidered as signal assignment switches. Pressing the SUB 1-2 will assign thechannel signal to Subgroup1/2, you can depend on the PAN switch to adjust theamount of channel signal sent to the SUB1 versus SUB2, when turns the PANto completely left, then the signal can be only controlled by Subgroup1 and vice-versa. In the same way, pressing the SUB 3-4 or MAIN L/R will assign the channelsignal to Subgroup3/4 or MAIN MIX L/R, and will also be affected by PAN.19 FADERThis fader will adjust the overall level of this channel and set the amount of signalsend to the main output.20 Control Room SourceYou can choose to monitor any combination of MAIN MIX, SUB1-2, SUB 3-4 and2TK IN via these Matrix switches.
