noise microphone pre-amps, four output buses and built-in 24 BIT DSP effects processor. The MDR10 features six mono Mic/Line input channel strips with a three-band, mid-sweep equalizer plus a low cut filter for setting just the right tone on your microphones or instruments. These channels also offer two auxiliary sends that can be used for creating ...

sound, recording, fixed installation and post production applications. Here are some of its main features: • Ten channels – Six Mic/Line plus two Stereo/Dual inputs with mic pre’s for a total of 10 microphone inputs. • Flexible design topology ideal for live sound, recording and post production. • On-board 24 BIT DSP (Digi ...

1 CLIP – Red LED will illuminate, indicating when the GAIN control has been adjusted too high. 2 GAIN – Used to set the input level of the mic pre and line input. 3 HIGH FREQUENCY - Controls the high band level of the Channel Equalizer, +/- 15 dB. 4 MID CUT & BOOST - Controls ...

the stereo bus. 12 SOLO Switch (Input Channels) – Back-lit LED switch used to assign the channel to the SOLO bus. 13 MUTE 3/4 – LED, back-lit switch used to Mute the input chan- nel from the Main Left and Right mix bus, and at the same time, assign the channel to the 3/4 output bus. 14 FADER – 60 mm audio taper fader provides smooth control over level changes. 15 MIC INPUT – X ...

60dB on the MIC input and –26 to +26dB on the LINE input. CLIP LED The MDR10’s MIC/LINE pre-amp also includes a CLIP LED which, when illumi- nated, indicates that the signal is peaking or overloading. To reduce distortion, lower the GAIN control to keep this LED from staying on. HF (HIGH FREQUENCY) 12KHz +/- 15dB shelving type The channel’s frequency response is flat ...

AUX 1 SEND The MDR10 has two auxiliary sends which can be used for sending signals to the external effects devices or for creating a monitor mix. The AUX1 section is often used for a monitor mix in a live sound mixing, or for a headphone mix in a record- ing application. Each input channel includes an AUX 1 send which controls the amount of that channel’s signal that is sent to the AUX 1 bus. The Input channel’s AUX 1 sen ...

9 (MONO INPUT CHANNEL CONTINUED) SOLO Switch When engaged, the yellow LED illuminates, indicating the input channel is assigned to the SOLO bus. The SOLO switch has a “momentary” action that acti- vates a logic control switch. Pressing the switch repeatedly will assign the input channel on or off the SOLO bus. You can use the SOLO LEVEL control to adjust the overall volume to the SOLO Bus. ...

HF (HIGH FREQUENCY) 12KHz +/- 15dB shelving type. The channel’s frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the "12:00" position. Rotating the knob towards the right will boost the corresponding frequency band by 15dB, and rotating it towards the left will cut the frequency by 15dB. LF (LOW FREQUENCY) 80Hz +/- 15dB shelving type. The channel’s frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the "12:00" position. Rotating ...

The SELECT switch allows you to select one of the eight built-in digital effects. Simply rotate the SELECT knob to choose the vari- ous effect pre-sets. DSP PEAK The DSP PEAK indicator lets you know when you are sending too much level to the internal effects processors. If the LED illuminates, turn down the signal from the chan- nel’s AUX 2 /DSP send. You may need to do this on more than one channel if you have multiple ...

MASTER SECTION (continued) AUXILARY SECTION - continued FX TO AUX 1 The FX TO AUX1 allows you to add the internal effects to the AUX 1/ MON send. When you press this switch, the signal from the DSP return is mixed in to the AUX 1. You can use this to add effects to your moni- tor mix in a live sound mix or to your headphone mix in the studio. FX RETURN 1 This adjusts the amount of signal that is sent from the FX RET 1 jacks to the M ...

13 MASTER OUTPUT SECTION SOLO LEVEL You can adjust the overall volume of the SOLO bus by using the SOLO LEVEL control knob. The SOLO LEVEL is active when any SOLO button is engaged. 3/4 to MIX Switch When the 3/4 to MIX switch is engaged the green LED will illuminate let- ting you know that the mix from the secondary, 3/4 stereo bus will be summed, or mixed together, with the main LEFT and RIGHT mix. So with the 3/4 to MIX engaged, y ...

Use these inputs to connect Low Impedance microphones and low level signals from direct boxes. The MIC inputs have a nominal operating level of -62dB through -8dB. The MIC inputs also feature +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones. The Phantom Power switch (located on the MDR10’s rear panel) enables phantom power on all the microphone inputs when set to the ON position. XLR Connector pin-o ...

ers. In a recording application, the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are used to connect a stereo device such as com- puter sound card, DAT, or cassette recorder. 3/4 OUTPUT In a live sound application, the 3/4 bus outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered speakers. In a recording application, the 3/4 outputs are used to conn ...

16 BASIC OPERATION The following section explains the basic operation of the MDR10. CONNECTING MICROPHONES AND INSTRUMENTS 1. Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all your sys- tems components including the MDR10 is turned off. Also, make sure that the Left and Right MIX faders are turned all the way down. 2. Connect the cables to your microphones and instruments, and insert the other end of the cable firm ...

17 USING THE DIGITAL EFFECTS The MDR10 features a built-in, high quality, 24 BIT Digital Signal Processor offering studio grade effects. The DSP features clean Delay, lush Reverbs and multi-effects such as Chorus + Delay or Chorus + Reverb. The fol- lowing details the operation of the internal DSP effects: 1. Connect a mic or instrument to the desired channel, and adjust the volume and equalizer to your liking. 2. Now select the desi ...

USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT If you prefer to use an external device for effects process- ing, you can easily connect the unit using the MDR10 EFX bus disconnecting the internal DSP. Follow the simple steps below to interface your processor: 1. Connect the AUX 2 OUTPUT to the input of the exter- nal effect processor. 2. Connect the outputs of the effect processor to the FX RETURN 2 located on the MDR10’s top panel. 3. Set the L/R mix ...
