User Manual

MIC/LINE INPUT (CH.1-8)
This combination input jack can
accept either a 1/4" (balanced
or unbalanced) input or an
XLR balanced, low-impedance
connection. The tip is positive on
the 1/4" balanced input, and pin 2
is positive on the XLR
PAD (CH. 1-7)
When engaged, the pad reduces
the input signal by 25dB. If you
notice distortion from a particular
channel or if the channel becomes
loud very quickly, try engaging
this switch. In addition to
increasing the dynamic range, the
channel can now accommodate a
higher input level before clipping
occurs, which may be helpful
when close-mic’ing a loud guitar
amp or drum kit, for example.
MEDIA INPUTS (CH.8 RCA and
3.5mm)
These inputs, both RCA and
3.5mm jacks accept a stereo input
from the output of an MP3 Player,
CD player, tape deck or other
similar device.
INPUT SELECT SWITCH (CH. 8)
This switch allows the user to
select the input signal being sent
to channel 8. In the “up” position,
the Mic-Line preamp is active. In
the “down” position, the RCA-
3.5mm media inputs are active.
AUTO-TUNE ON/OFF (CH 1-3)
Each of the first three channels of
the XR-AT can be routed through
the world famous Auto-Tune
®
processing for automatic pitch
correction. These three backlit
switches indicate the status of the
Auto-Tune in each channel. They
also allow the Auto-Tune process
to be bypassed with the push of
a button. When the switch is lit,
Auto-Tune is active. When it is
dark, the Auto-Tune process is
bypassed.
COMPRESSOR AND COMP LED
(CH 1-7)
This knob adjusts the amount
of compression applied to the
channel. As the knob is turned to
the right, the mixer automatically
raises the compression ratio
while adjusting the output gain
accordingly. The result is a
narrower, more even dynamic
range, as louder signals are
softened while the overall level
is boosted. Avoid setting the
knob too high, however, as
excess compression may lead
to feedback. The LED will light
red when the signal level is
high enough to activate the
compression.
HIGH EQ
This High EQ shelving type of
active tone control varies the
treble frequencies (+/- 15 dB at
12kHz) and is designed to remove
noise or add brilliance to the
signal, depending on the quality
of the source.
MID-MORPH EQ (CH. 1-7)
Where most mid-range controls
work at just one frequency, the
Mid-Morph
®
works at two. When
turned counterclockwise, it cuts at
250Hz to reduce frequencies that
muddy the sound. When turned
clockwise, it boosts at 4kHz to
add intelligibility to vocals. Either
way, improved vocal or instrument
definition can be achieved.
