Yorkville M608 YS 1088 ユーザーズマニュアル

In addition to the XLR inputs, each channel features ¼-inch 

LINE in jacks. Channels 

1-2, 5/6 and 7/8 are balanced line-level inputs and will accept either balanced (

Tip/

Ring/Sleeve) or unbalanced (Tip/Sleeve) input cables from high impedance microphones, 

mixer line outputs, keyboards, synthesizers, electric pianos etc. 

Channels 3 and 4 have very high impedance, unbalanced ¼-inch inputs which are opti-

mized for instruments such as electric basses, acoustic electric guitars etc. Stereo chan-

nels 5/6 and 7/8 have left and right ¼-inch balanced 

LINE in jacks as well as mono gold-

plated XLR low impedance microphone inputs. The ¼-inch inputs may be used to connect 

a stereo CD player, tape deck or an additional mixer etc. A phono pre-amplifier must be 

connected to the 

M608 inputs for optimum turntable performance.

This adjustment determines the signal level sent to the 

MAIN mixing bus. The CLIP LED 

will illuminate when the channel’s overall signal level is 3 dB below the onset of actual 

clipping. As a result, small amounts of 

clip LED activity are acceptable, however frequent 

or continuous activity indicates the need to turn down the 

LEVEL control.

The 

M608 tone controls adjust the bass, middle and treble frequencies for each channel 

independently. Center frequencies have been carefully selected to help achieve the best 

quality of sound. 

Bass is centered on 40 Hz, Mid at 700 Hz and the Hi is at 12 kHz. The 

adjustment range for each control is +/- 15 dB. These parameters provide versatile equal-

ization consistent with the clean simplicity of the 

M608’s design. As with equalizers, 

boosting one or more frequencies increase the channel’s level. If the channel is already at 

a high level, clipping may occur, in which case the 

clip LED will illuminate. Reduce the 

LEVEL setting and/or the Equalizer if clip activity is excessive. 

The 

MON control (monitor send) on each channel varies the amount of signal being 

sent to the monitor bus in the 

M608. In the mono channels the MON signal is pre-LEV-

EL control and pre-EQ. It is taken before the 

LEVEL control so the monitor signal can 

be mixed independently of the 

MAIN mix. As a result, channel EQ and LEVEL settings 

do not affect the sound of the monitor signals. The 

MON signal in the stereo channels 

is also pre-

LEVEL and pre-EQ.

The 

EFX control (effects send) for each channel adjusts the level of the channel signal 

being sent to the 

M608 effects bus. This signal is post-LEVEL control and post-EQ, the 

sound is affected by both the channel 

EQ controls and the channel LEVEL control. The sig-

nal from the effects bus is internally routed to the 

Digital Effects Processor. The channel 

EFX control regulates the intensity of the built-in digital effects for the channel’s output. 

When using the built-in digital effects, you can connect a standard on/off footswitch (e.g. 

Yorkville model AFS1) to the 

EFX Out/Footswitch jack to turn the internal effects on or off.

EFX Out/Footswitch in this manual.
