OVERVIEW phase reverse switch allows the operator to avoid phase cancellation when identical microphones are used in close proximity to one another. The phase reverse switch also can compensate for different XLR connector hook-ups where pin connections have been inverted. • A 20 dB pad is available on each channel for reducing the in-coming signal level. This pad provides a more manageable signal from high output devices giving the operator greater control over the in-coming signal and a much

CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS The Stereo Output control adjusts the output level of the Stereo Mix Bus. This potentiometer governs the output level of the Bus. Channels are assigned to the bus via the L/R assign switch on the individual pre-amp channels. Headphone control is located above the 1/4-inch stereo headphone output on the front panel. This potentiometer regulates the volume of the headphones. The signal monitored by the headphones is the same as the Stereo Mix Bus output. 2.4 BACK PANEL BAS

3 OPERATION 3.1 Dynamic Microphones Dynamic microphones are characterized by lower output levels. Hence, more gain is needed to amplify a dynamic microphone to operating level. Occasionally it is necessary to add the –20dB pad to the microphone to avoid distortion (e.g. when recording percussion). Do not use phantom power when using dynamic microphones. 3.2 Phantom Powered Microphones Phantom powered microphones such as condenser and ribbon microphones require external power to pre- amplify the

CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS 3.6 Aux Input – Cascading Mixes The Aux Input on the M80 mixes an external audio source in with any other channel assigned to the bus. This provides an opportunity to connect multiple M80’s together thus creating more inputs for the stereo mix bus. Connect the balanced bus outputs of one M80 to the Aux inputs of the next M80. The M80 that is the last in the chain is the master output device. Previous mixes can be controlled similar to sub- groups via the Master Level knob.
