Microphones; Cd-Players, Mini Disc, Tape; Session And Team Mixing; Operation And Usage - Ecler HAK300 Bedienungsanleitung

3.2.2. Microphones

The HAK300 features a Mic input channel. To connect the microphone, insert the
Stereo Mic Jack connection on the back (14) and adjust the small Mic input GAIN (ADJ 13)
located on the back of the mixer. Connections are as follows:
HOT or direct signal
COLD or inverted signal
GROUND
Low impedance (200 to 600Ω) monophonic microphones must be used. For non
balanced microphones we recommend monophonic jack plugs although stereo ones are also
suitable if the ring is short-circuited to the sleeve.
3.2.3. CD Players, Mini-Disc, Tape...
Line level devices such as Compact Discs, Tape recorders, Mini-Disc or Video
Recorders can be connected to any LINE input (5-11). Any of these inputs can handle high level
signals. Sensitivity of LINE inputs is rated at -10dBV. This allows connection of virtually any
audio source.
3.2.4. Session and Team mixing: HAK direct access to the main MIX
The MIX input allows linking other mixers to the HAK. This Function is especially
useful for Battle-Mixing session. To set-up a session installation, insert the other mixer RCA
Output in the back panel MIX (10) input.
ATTENTION: The other mixer, through its own output level control, must balance the session
input signal level.

4. OPERATION AND USAGE

4.1. Start up

To switch the mixer on push the switch labelled POWER (1) located in the back panel
- the two bottoms Vu-meter, ON leds will light up. Although the switching noise produced by
the HAK300 is very low and almost inexistent when starting up the HAK with the main faders
down, we highly recommend the "safe power-up sequence", which means that you should
switch on your audio devices in the following order:
1. Sound sources
2. Mixer, equalizers, active filters
3. Finally, power amplifiers.
Powering off should be done by following the exact reverse sequence in order to
avoid any possible damage to the loudspeakers.
