Manual-1MLM 103MIC/LINE MIXEROPERATORS MANUALWEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.MLM 103 CONNECTIONINPUTSThe MLM 103 has ten balanced Euroblock Inputs. Useonly shielded cable. For best noise rejection use two-conduc-tor-plus-shielded wire, even for unbalanced operation.Connect the non-inverting (positive) audio lines to the “+”terminals, and the inverting (negative) lines to the “–”terminals. Connect the shields to the “ground” terminals.For those installations where the MLM 103’s internalshield-to-chassis connection causes interference, connect theshields directly to chassis PEM nuts directly above each pairof Euroblock connectors. Be sure to bite through the paintwith the star washer and keep the shields wrapped around theaudio conductors as much as possible. For the “theoretical”best ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) immunity, connectthe shields at both ends of the cables. (For more informationon connections, see RaneNote 110, “Sound System Intercon-nection” later in this manual or on Rane’s web site.)MONO INPUTS 1-6 can accept either mic or line levelsources. When connecting line level signals, push the rearpanel button in for LINE. For mic signals, be sure the buttonis in the MIC (out) position.STEREO INPUTS 7/8 and 9/10 accept line level stereoand mono sources.OUTPUTSThe MLM 103’s OUTPUTS (and DIRECT OUTPUTS)are balanced. The same wiring conventions as the EuroblockInputs apply.QUICK STARTIf you don't get any further, at least read this section to get the best gain structure out of the MLM 103.INPUTS 1 through 6 may be microphone or line level. The choice between the two is made by setting the Input’s LINEpush-button on the rear panel.Push the PHANTOM POWER button (when needed) for each pair of Inputs.Using a screwdriver, adjust the TRIM for each Input so that the front panel OL LED illuminates only occasionallyduring extreme peaks. The three-band Equalizer settings will influence this, so keep an eye on the OL when making EQadjustments. Now adjust the LEVEL for each Input.Assign each Input to the desired Output by pushing any combination of the A, B, or AUX ASSIGN buttons.INPUTS 7/8 and 9/10 are stereo line level Inputs.Assign each stereo input to the desired output as follows:When the A/B ASSIGN button is engaged and the MONO button is not engaged, INPUT 7 (or 9) is routed to the AOutput, while INPUT 8 (or 10) is routed to the B Output.When the both the A/B ASSIGN and MONO buttons are engaged, both Inputs of 7/8 (or 9/10) will route to both the Aand B Output.The AUX ASSIGN button is always a mono mix of the stereo channel.
