Microphones; Cd Players, Mini-Disc, Tape; Direct Access To The Main Mix; Operation And Usage - Ecler HAK380 Bedienungsanleitung

3.2.2. Microphones

The microphone connector is a "COMBO" connector (9). This connector combines an XLR-3
connector and a ¼'' TRS connector. These inputs accept balanced connections. These connections
have to be made in the following way:
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. An XLR connector could also be used for non-balanced signals if pin 1 and
3 are short-circuited.
Micro channel is equipped with an INSERT connection (11) in order to insert external effect units
only to this channel. The insertion is made by using a stereo jack, the tip of the jack is the send and the
central ring the return.
The HAK380 has phantom power for condenser microphones. An internal jumper allows to inhibit
the operation of the phantom power. The MIC input is set to "phantom ON" by factory. See fig.2.

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 (13). 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. Direct access to the main mix

The HAK380 has a SESSION input (21), which allows the connection with other mixers. By doing
so, multiple mixers can be "hung" in series (cascade). This option is very useful in the "Team Battle"
mode.

4. OPERATION AND USAGE

4.1. Start up

This can be done using the switch (3) located at the back panel and the vu-meters led will light
up immediately. Although the switching noise produced by the HAK380 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.
