Tapco MIX10FXP Manuale Utente

Getting Started

We realize that you must be 
really keen to try out your new 
powered mixer, but please 
read the safety instructions on 
page 2, and this page fi rst.  

1.  Place the powered mixer in a position 

where it is easy to reach the controls. 
All the controls and input connections 
are located on the front panel so you 
can make quick adjustments and 
connections on stage.

2.  Make sure there is at least 6 inches of 

airspace behind the powered mixer for 
ventilation. Use the powered mixer in a 
nice clean and dry environment.

1.  Be sure the rear-panel power switch is 

off before making any connections.

2.  Push the linecord securely into the 

IEC connector on the rear panel, and 
plug the other end into a  3-prong AC 
outlet that is properly confi gured for the 
voltage of your powered mixer.

3.  Plug a balanced microphone into one 

of the mic XLR (3-pin) connectors on 
the front panel. Or you can connect a 
line-level source (keyboard, or guitar 
preamp) to a line input jack using a TRS 
1/4" plug.

4.  You will need a DI box to connect 

guitars/instruments to the powered 
mixer.

5.  Plug your passive speakers (4 ohms or 

greater) into the speaker output jacks 
on the rear panel. If you plug two 
speakers into a side, each speaker must 
be 8 ohms or greater to maintain a 4-
ohm minimum load on the amplifi er. 
Use at least 18 gauge speaker cable 
with 1/4" TS plugs or Speakon

®

 plugs. For 

now, set the power amp mode switch 
to stereo mains.

Don’t use guitar cords for speaker 
cables! They’re not designed to 
handle speaker-level signals and 
could overheat.

1.  Turn down all the channel level, mon, 

and FX controls.

2.  Set all the EQ controls to the center, 

including the graphic EQ sliders. 

3.  Turn down the main master level and 

monitor master level controls, and turn 
on the powered mixer.

4.  For condenser mics, push in the 

phantom power switch. If you are using 
both condenser and dynamic mics, 
don’t worry. Phantom power will not 
hurt most dynamic mics. Check the 
micro  phone’s user manual if you’re not 
sure.

5.  For each channel 1-6, press the gain 

switch in (low gain) if you are using a 
line-level source. Press it out (high gain) 
if you are using a microphone or other 
low-level source.

6.  Play something into an input at real-

world levels, and turn up the channel 
level to U (unity).

7.   In normal playing, the channel's OL 

LED should only light occasionally. If 
it stays on for a large portion of your 
performance, check that the gain 
switch is set correctly. 

8.  Slowly turn up the main master level 

control until you hear the signal in your 
speakers.

9.  Repeat steps 5 to 7 for the remaining 

channels.

10.  If needed, apply some EQ wisely.
11.  Adjust the levels to get the best mix. 

Keep the level controls fully down on 
unused channels.

•  Only connect the powered mixer's 

speaker-level outputs to passive 
loudspeakers.

•  When shutting down, turn off any 

external amplifi ers or powered 
loudspeakers fi rst. When powering 
up, turn on any external amplifi ers or 
powered loudspeakers last.

•  Save the shipping box!
