O P E R A T I N G I N S TR U C TI O N S
The ARC-10 console is designed to be very easy to use. The Monitor, Headphones, and VU meters all follow the same selec-
tor switch to reduce on air confusion. The single input source per channel reduces operator errors by eliminating the acci-
dental selection of a wrong A/B source input. The phone system is very easy tp use for off line talking to the caller as well
as supporting a Live call in show or Off-line contest call application.
Quick Start
Two Mic channels
For normal on air talent
or a Host and Guest talk
format. Each channel fea-
tures a ‘Talk’ button to
talk to the ‘Studio moni-
tor’ if a separate talk
studio is used.
Seven line channels
For CD players, MP3 play-
ers, and other analog
sources.
optional PC channel
When connected to a Windows PC
(via a USB cable) running Arrakis
Xtreme software, the channel On-off
button will start and stop playback of
audio from the PC.
Supported by the ARC-10UP and ARC-
10BP models. On the base ARC-10U
model, this input is an RCA unbal-
anced consumer level input.

The phone channel works
with an external hybrid
(user supplied). Turn the
Cue button on to listen
off-line to the caller. Push
the Talk switch to use the
