Turning the microphones on
Turn the microphone(s) on.
1. Press the MIC switch corresponding to the microphone to be turned on.
The switch will light up.
2. To turn a microphone off, press the MIC switch again. The switch’s light
will go dark.
Hint: It is advisable to turn a microphone off, while not using it, to avoid a Larsen
feedback or any unwanted noise.
Setting the microphone’s input gain
You should set the input gain of each microphone before starting to use it.
The gain controls let you adjust the sensitivity of the audio inputs, to prevent
overloading at the preamplier’s stage. They are separate from the MIC vol-
ume knobs on the front panel, that are used to set the level of the microphone’s
signal into the general mix.
1. Set the MP-10 PRO MASTER VOLUME to a moderate level, and the MIC
VOLUME knobs on the control panel in the center position. This way, you
will be sure the microphone input will be routed to the outputs.
2. Turn the GAIN control located next to the microphone input all the way
counter-clockwise to completely cut it out.
3. While smoothly turning the GAIN knob clockwise to increase the input
level, sing or play loudly into the microphone.
4. Check the LED over the MIC VOLUME knob, and continue increasing
the microphone’s input level until the LED starts to turn on while you sing
or play at the maximum level and dynamics (the so called ‘signal peaks’).
5. When the LED begins to light, turn the GAIN knob slightly counter-clock-
wise, until the LED no longer tuns on at the signal peaks.
