Tapco MIX10FXP Manuel D’Utilisation

The mixer's phantom power is globally 

 controlled by the phantom (23) switch on 
the front panel. (Phantom power for all mics 
is turned on and off together.)

Never plug   single-ended 
(unbalanced) micro phones, or 
ribbon mics into the mic input jacks 
if phantom power is on. Do not 

plug instrument outputs into the mic XLR 
input jacks with phantom power on,  unless 
you know for certain it is safe to do so.

These 1/4" jacks share circuitry (but not 

phantom power) with the mic preamps, 
and can be driven by balanced or 
unbalanced sources.

To connect balanced lines to these inputs, 

use a 1⁄4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug. 

To connect unbalanced lines to these 

 inputs, use a 1⁄4" mono (TS) phone plug or 
 instrument cable.

The mono line-level signals appear 

equally in the left and right of the main mix.

In addition to a mic input, channels 7 

and 8 each have stereo line inputs. If you 
just have a mono source, plug it into the 
left input of channel 7 or 8 (labeled mono), 
and the signal will appear (as if by magic) 
equally on the left and right of the main mix.

In addition to a mic input, channels 9 

and 10 each have RCA line inputs, suitable 
for connecting the line-level, unbalanced 
output from CD players, tape decks, iPod 
docks etc. These inputs are not affected by 
the break switch (24), so you can play CDs 
or background music in your system when 
the band is taking a break.

This 1/4" TRS connector allows you to 

send the monitor line-level output to stage 
monitors. These could either be passive 
stage monitors powered by an external 
amplifi er, or powered stage monitors with 
their own amplifi er built in.

Stage monitors allow the talented 

musicians in your band to hear themselves 
clearly on stage, and this can often be a 
good thing. The monitor output can be 
carefully adjusted in level using the channel 
aux mon controls (17). If they want "more 
me, and less Keith," you can turn up their 
channel's mon control, and turn down 
Keith's.

The monitor signal is the sum (mix) of all 

the channels whose mon control (17) is set 
to more than minimum. The overall output 
level can be adjusted with the monitor 
master level (32) and its EQ tweaked with 
the monitor graphic EQ (29).

The monitor output is not affected by 

the main master level (28), or the channel 
level controls (20). This allows you to set up 
the monitor mix and level just right, and not 
have it change every time a channel level 
or the main mix level is adjusted.

These stereo unbalanced RCA outputs 

allow you to record the main stereo mix 
onto a tape deck, hard disk recorder, 
automatic CD burner, or a computer, etc. 
This allows you to make a recording for 
posterity/archive/legal purposes whenever 
the band gets back together again.

The tape output is the stereo main mix, 

not affected by the main master level (28), 
or the main graphic EQ (25).

These 1/4" balanced TRS outputs supply 

the stereo main mix at line-level. You can 
connect these outputs to the line-level 
inputs of external power amplifi ers running 
passive loudspeakers, or to the inputs of 
powered loudspeakers (or not use them at 
all if you don't have the external gear).

These outputs play the same signal as the 

rear-panel speaker-level outputs (3) (when 
set to stereo mains), only at line-level.

These outputs can also be used to feed 

an external stereo effects processor or other 
device, and have the processed output 
of that device feed the power amp inputs 
(13). This places the device in-line and it will 
affect the main mix.

Another idea is to run this output to the 

inputs of a powered subwoofer to reinforce 
the bass in your system.
