Introduction
1.
Thank you for purchasing the ULTRAZONE ZMX8210. The
ZMX8210 is a professional rack mixer which is especially suitable
for fixed installation applications and allows public address to be
directed to up to three zones (rooms). The eight input channels
process Line and Microphone signals. Further inputs are added
by connecting a second ZMX8210. All channels have high-quality
preamplifiers to ensure the highest level of sound quality. The
input signals can flexibly be routed to three output buses as well
as effectively be processed with the integrated 4-band equalizer.
Several functions of the ZMX8210 can be controlled remotely by
using simple control elements. Thanks to its intuitive control panel,
the unit can also be employed by inexperienced users after a short
while unlike conventional mixers.

Controls of the ZMX8210
Fig. 2.1:
Channels 1 – 6
PAD: The switch attenuates the input level of loud signal
{1}
sources by 20 dB.
+48 V: The switch activates the phantom power for capaci-
{2}
tor microphones.
L, R, AUX: The three switches route the channel signals to
{3}
one or more output buses.
THRESH (only Channel 1): The knob selects the level at
{4}
which the signal is muted. When the level of the input signal
exceeds the specified value, the signal of channels 2 – 8 on
the LEFT/RIGHT bus is muted. Apply the Mute function to
fade out music signals as soon as a microphone on channel
1 is talked into.

1 is talked into.
LEVEL: This knob adjusts the preamplification and the level

with which the input signal is sent to the selected buses.
LEDs: The LEDs show the input levels. When the CLIP
{6}
LED lights up, the input level needs to be attenuated by
using the LEVEL knob
using the LEVEL knob
{5} to prevent clipping. In case the
attenuation is insufficient, use PAD switch
{1} to attenuate
the signal further.
Channels 7 – 8
MONO: This switch selects the configuration of the stereo

channels:
In mono mode (switch pressed), the channel's L/R

inputs are mixed together and sent to the LEFT, RIGHT
and AUX buses. In this way, a mono signal is sent to all
output buses at the same time.
